One of fashion’s main components is human’s ability to express themselves through the garments they wear. This allows clothes to define certain characteristics based on social identitiy it brings. This power to define social identity can be concretely seen in the differences between men’s and women’s fashion.

There are several theories that try to explain this phenomenon, two of them are The Great Male Renunciation theory by J.C. Flugel, dan the theory of the separation of men and women’s sewing guild by Anne Hollander.
