Pictorial evidence proves that women’s dresses existed around 30,000 years ago in the Paleolithic period as thin skin drapes. Since then, women’s fashion has evolved from fancy ball gowns, to mini skirts, to powerful suits. Each decade from the past represents an era of women's fashion with its own unique development and characteristics. Past trends have shaped the fashion we are familiar with today and the creativity that designers possess.

In the 17th century, clothing of women would differ based on their social status. Women of higher classes wore dresses with off-the-shoulder necklines, shiny satin, lace collars and cuffs. Hair was worn flat at the top with dense ringlets to frame the face. Stunning jewelry was worn as bracelets, necklaces and headbands.

Off-the-shoulder neckline tops inspired from the 17th century are receiving attention once again by many people.

Mantuas were commonly worn for formal occasions in the 18th century. A mantua is an open-fronted gown with a train, elbow-length sleeves and matching petticoat. Hair was styled to be close to the head with a linen cap that was decorated with lace and streamers. A woman was expected to have pale skin, red and circular cheeks and red lips.

In the 19th century, women's dress began to reveal the actual shape of the body. The waistline deepened, the bodice was tighter and the skirt became bell-shaped. The dress was usually worn over a cage crinoline and petticoat, along with a linen cap or bonnet. Hair was styled in chignons and makeup was applied to produce pale skin, rosy cheeks and crimson lips.

In the 1900s, women wore extravagant and frilly dresses, blouses and skirts over a constrictive corset. They accessorized with jewelry and hats and wore their hair in full pompadour styles. Cosmetics consisted of small red pots to give red lips and rosy cheeks.

Corsets are widely worn today to elevate outfits.

The 1910s fashion was characterized by wide-brimmed hats, ankle-length dresses and high, curved heels. This decade brought up the first powdered blush, roll-up lipstick and commercial eye shadow made from henna extract. Hair was cut short and styled in waves, low chignons and buns.

Women's fashion developed in the 30s as feminine silhouettes were established. Backless silk gowns, high waisted sailor pants, midi length dresses and puff sleeves were favored trends. Slouch hats, knit berets and fur coats became well worn accessories, along with finger curls, wet-look waves and faux bobs for hair. Eyebrows were pencil thin, lips were ruby red and cheeks were always blushed.

WWII changed fashion to be simple and practical. Knee length A-line dresses, plaid skirts, workwear overalls and victory suits were commonly worn with gloves, hats and handbags to complete the look. Victory rolls and bouffant hair were popular hairstyles, and makeup was kept natural with red lips. Women wore smiles to work through the difficult times.

Modernized plaid skirts are often worn today by many different women.

In the 50s, women often wore their hair up in French twists and ponytails held together by accessories such as headbands and scarves. The decade is notably known for greaser fashion, floral prints, glamorous fit-and-flare dresses, poodle skirts and cardigans. Red lips, simple eyeshadow and eyeliner made up the classic 50s look.

The 70s were filled with fun fashion trends that consisted of bright boho dresses, hippie looks, shiny blouses, flared pants and crochet vests. These looks were accessorized with turbans, homemade bracelets, floppy hats and sunglasses. Also, there was a diversity of makeup looks from clean, natural makeup to dark and smoky looks. Women's hair would often be feathered or put up in beehive hairstyles.

Flared jeans have recently become popular again and are styled with various tops.

The 90s was full of fashion inspired from music and celebrities such as grunge styles, colourful animal prints and preppy sets. Makeup was applied with shimmery eye shadow, brick lipstick, matte foundation and gems. Hair was styled diversely in space buns, feathered bangs, microbraids and twists. Attractive accessories included butterfly clips, colourful chokers and snap bracelets.

90s trends are returning! Butterfly clips, grunge styles and animal prints are once again gaining popularity.

Tracksuits, jean skirts, dresses over jeans, layered tank tops and low-rise jeans defined women's fashion in the 2000s. Faces were covered with pastel eyeshadow, pink blush and shiny lip gloss. Crimped hair, layers, spiky curls and zigzag parts were wanted hairstyles by many women. Lastly, the look was completed with bandanas, chunky belts, jelly bracelets and aviator sunglasses.

Influencers and models such as Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Beiber have recently been seen wearing low-rise jeans. Will this bring back the trend?

High-rise skinny jeans, crop tops, streetwear, leggings and  flannels were in favor of many women. Makeup was powerful with heavy foundation and extraordinary eye shadows. Additionally, ombre hair, side parts and beachy waves were well worn hairstyles. Handbags became well liked by a larger audience and hair bands were worn to accessorize hair.

Today, popular clothing items include corset tops, straight jeans, cargo pants, slip dresses and cut out pieces. These items were inspired from past decades, but altered to look modern and fresh. Loungewear has also become popular due to the pandemic and isolation periods.

Makeup looks are bold, yet clean with striking eyeliner, overlined lips and dramatic eyelashes. Hair is styled in slick ponytails, curtain bangs, multiple braids or even buns held together with claw clips. Furthermore, rings, necklaces and bracelets are layered to accentuate body parts and complete outfits.
