Sex and Suits: The Evolution of Modern DressRead about another title on the list.
A little bit more on the theory side, Sex and Suits charts the history of men’s and women’s dress all the way from medieval times to the modern day. The book questions why menswear underwent such a drastic transformation following the 18th century and looks at how gender affects fashion to this day. [Anne] Hollander is unafraid to get into the nitty-gritty—all of her books are a must-read.
