Who are the hosts and what is the episode about?
Welcome back to another episode of Excuse My Grandma. It's Kim and my co-host, Grandma Gail. So grandma, this morning we filmed so many outfit videos for social media. You've been, that's the best part about when I'm here in Florida because you get to help me pick out my outfits. I get to go into your closet and steal some stuff, which is always fun.
I know it's not, it's running out of stuff though, Kim. I'm going to have to bring some more things into the closet.
We discover some old things that you forgot about sometimes. And yeah, I'm always ordering new stuff that you're like helping me decide whether to pick or to return.
Most of them are really not pickable.
How has women's fashion evolved over the decades?
Yeah, I'm not the best at ordering, but I feel like a lot of the time, obviously I'm wearing things that I would wear in my daily life, which is all pretty like comfortable. Correct. I mean, even if it's like a corseted dress or something, I was thinking about all like the past of fashion and thinking we could kind of go through the generations and talk about how fashion has changed so much from, being really uncomfortable to more comfortable today. But even today, I lounge in leggings or sweatpants most days, unless I have to see people. But if you're lounging, you're wearing slacks.
Yeah, I usually wear a pair of nice pants. I don't like to wear loungewear.
Such a generational difference.
Well, it's also I look dumpy in them. So if somebody sees me in sweatpants, I look like a little short balloon, like the Oopa Blueberry Lady. Oopa Loopa. Oopa Hoopa. So I tend to wear them. And, you know, I have a lot of different like little pants that are tailored. They look fine. Yeah. But how is that cozy? To me, they're cozy.
Yeah, I guess maybe you're used to being even more uncomfortable.
I mean, if I get very, very casual, I'll put a T-shirt on.
Yeah, that's the most casual.
That's really casual.
Yeah, I definitely dress a little bit more casual than you generally. You like the sweatshirts. Yeah, I wear a lot of sweatshirts and leggings and whatever. But I was doing a little research about the history of fashion and comfort. And like the major factor in the like comfort is king trend was due to the rise of synthetic fibers, which changed how people fit in their clothes.
And also washing and people were, it was an easier way to take care of their garments because they could wash them and hang them up on the line. They didn't need to have the pressing and the steaming and all that.
Right. So in the 19th century.
Which I wasn't there.
Right. Neither was I. S-shaped silhouettes with corsets and bustles were stylish, but obviously probably not comfortable. Now you have to see that on television. Yeah. And then in the early 20th century, more comfortable styles emerged, which really was influenced by sportswear and women's changing roles.
And women's roles, basically, being part of the electorate and everything else. They wanted more freedom.
Right. And then in the 20s, you know, it was like flapper fashion, which was the shorter skirts and the looser silhouettes. So that was pretty comfortable, probably.
I don't know. I think they were very contrived to all of it.
yeah well it's now it's funny because it's like we get a costume from a store and we dressed 1920s but it really was how people dressed and um then there's world war one and two which was like practical functional correct clothing women were joining the workforce so it was And then we have the 50s, and that was really like Christian Dior's new look, right?
Yeah, but that was for highly styled. That was Paris and couture people in America. That wasn't the normal. The normal woman in the 50s was wearing a house dress. Yeah. You know, they weren't all working, and the ones who went to work went in probably just very simple little sundress kind of garments with a sweater or jacket.
Like everyday wear. Yeah. Mm-hmm. The 60s and the 70s were like bohemian hippie fashion.
Beetle time.
But loose and flowing, right? Yes.
Well, that was also rejection to the war. Right. So everybody was sort of a little bit in their protest mode.
