Fashion Trends 2016 U.S. & U.K. Report [email protected] Intro With every query typed into a search bar, we are given a glimpse into user considerations or intentions. By compiling top searches, we are able to render a strong representation of the population and gain insight into this population’s behavior. In our second iteration of the Google Fashion Trends Report, we are excited to introduce data from multiple markets. This report focuses on apparel trends from the United States and United Kingdom to enable a better understanding of how trends spread and behaviors emerge across the two markets. We are proud to share this iteration and look forward to hearing back from you. Olivier Zimmer | Trends Data Scientist Yarden Horwitz | Trends Brand Strategist Methodology To compile a list of accurate trends within the fashion industry, we pulled top volume queries related to the apparel category and looked at their monthly volume from May 2014 to May 2016. We first removed any seasonal effect, and then measured the year-over-year growth, velocity, and acceleration for each search query. Based on these metrics, we were able to classify the queries into similar trend patterns. We then curated the most significant trends to illustrate interesting shifts in behavior.

She may have attractive under- wear if she is wise in the selection of materials and careful in making it or in choosing ready-made garments. It is not the amount of money that one spends so much as it is good judgment in the choice of styles, materials and trimmings. No matter how beautiful or appropriate a girl's outer garments may be, she is not well dressed unless she has used good judgment in making or selecting her under - wear.

General Ancient Greek Clothing Was Created by Draping One Or More Large Rectangles of Cloth Around the Body
Ancient Greek and Roman Clothing Information Sheet Greek Clothing: General Ancient Greek clothing was created by draping one or more large rectangles of cloth around the body. The cloth was woven by the women of the household, and the materials most often used were wool and linen. There were no set sizes to a piece of apparel. How the rectangles were draped, belted, and pinned determined how they fit the contours of the body and how they were named. When seen on statues or in painted pottery, the clothing often appears to be white or a single color. In actuality, the textiles used for clothing were often dyed in bright colors such as red, yel- low, green or violet. Decorative motifs on the dyed cloths were often either geometric patterns or patterns from nature, like leaves. Wide-brimmed hats were worn by men in bad weather or while traveling in the hot sun. When not letting their long hair fall in trailing curls on their backs or shoulders,Greek women put their hair up in scarves or ribbons. Depictions of men in paintings and statues also show them with filets (cloth headbands) around their heads. Though Greeks often went barefoot around the house, a variety of shoe styles were available, from sandals to boots. The sandals worn by the statue of Artemis shown in full view on the next page. Oedipus is dressed for travel in his wide-brimmed hat, cloak, and shoes.

Where should employers draw the line in the workplace? What grooming guidelines, if any, should organizations develop? When it comes to dress codes, what legal rights do employers and employees have? Are there any guidelines on religious dress? These questions and more are what employers and employees are asking everyday. With times quickly changing and as younger generations get older, norms and expectations slowly transform. Business attire five days a week has become more rare in the average workplace or agency. Young executives and managers are more liberal in there approaches to issues of this sort, making the term “dress for success” less stressful and more cost effective for the average person. Grooming Standards Personal "style" reflects a diverse workplace and often individuals with tattoos are creative individuals.
