Unisex Dress
Unisex clothing are clothing styles which may be worn by both men and women. For example, shirts and pants can be worn by both men and women. True unisex clothing tends to be looser in fit to overcome physiological differences between the genders.
The term "unisex" was first used in the 1960s to describe a style of clothing that could be worn by both genders.
History
Historically, various cultures have had unisex clothing. Although trousers for women had been growing in popularity for some decades, the sudden and overwhelming trend of young people wearing jeans, regardless of gender probably contributed more to the evolution of a unisex style than the women's movement or the sexual revolution. There can be little doubt that all these elements had their part to play in the introduction of this new mode of dress. Short lived though it was as a fashion trend, the influence of the unisex style continues to make its influence felt in current fashion. The term may have fallen out of use but with males now beginning to break down barriers by wearing what once would have been considered female attire, unisex may be set to make even bigger impact than it did in the 1960s.
Contemporary wear
Today, a common mode of unisex clothing may be a costume made up of shirt, pants or both as these articles are considered appropriate for either gender in western society. Both men and women wear shirt and pants on regular basis in the western world and it has become quite a fashion favourite despite feminine style clothing maintaining a secure place in female fashion.
