Unisex clothing

It can be argued that in the nineteenth century fashionable clothing, which originated in France, reflected the dominance of traditional feminine roles.

[6] For example, members of the women's movement deplored the use of corsets and sets of ponderous garments and centred their proposals of dress reform on the adoption of trousers.

Women, therefore, were able to wear divided skirts and knee-length bloomers without having difficulties considering gender roles because this "alternative dress" did not intend to undermine patriarchy.

Today, a common mode of unisex clothing may be an outfit made up of shirt, pants, or both, as these articles are considered appropriate for either gender in western society.

Unisex clothing made its first entry in haute couture with Canadian designer Rad Hourani.
