@historyinsixtyish: Why did humans start caring about fashion? For thousands of years, clothing has done more than keep us warm. From the expensive purple worn by Roman elites to medieval laws controlling who could wear silk and fur, what we wore became a way to show wealth, power, and social rank. Philosophers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau questioned how civilization created these artificial divisions between people. Later, Thorstein Veblen gave us a term for displaying wealth through what we buy: conspicuous consumption. From Roman purple to designer handbags and luxury watches, fashion has changed dramatically. But has the message really changed at all? #historyin60 #fashionhistory #fashion #History #fashiontiktok
