When men shop they are practically in drag. See-saw effect that works by decades, (one is on the rise and socially acceptable, then it goes down and popularity wanes) Late 18th century = great masculine renunciation (cid:12254) (cid:12254) (cid:12254) (cid:12254) (cid:12254) As a result there is a distinction between the way men and women dress.
