The beginnings of the habit in Europe of continual and increasingly rapid change in clothing styles can be fairly reliably dated to the middle of the 14Th century, to which historians including James Lav er and Fern and Bridle date the start of Western fashion in clothing.[7][8] The most dramatic manifestation was a sudden drastic shortening and tightening of the male over-garment, from calf-length to barely covering the buttocks, sometimes accompanied with stuffing on the chest to look bigger. This created the distinctive Western male outline of a tailored top worn over leggings or trousers.

Fashion Tragedy Xscenee
Changes in costume often took place at times of economic or social change (such as in ancient Rome and the medieval Caliphate), but then a long period without major changes followed. This occurred in Moorish Spain from the 8Th century, when the famous musician Surya introduced sophisticated clothing styles based on seasonal and daily timings from his native Baghdad and his own inspiration to Cordoba, Spain.[4][5] Similar changes in fashion occurred in the Middle East from the 11Th century, following the arrival of the Turks who introduced clothing styles from Central Asia and the Far East.[6]
