What were the popular fashions during the time of Westward Expansion?

Asked by jasminexiong197

Answer (2)

I suspect that they wore clothing made of cloth, mainly cotton and wool. Both men and women's styles were different from today, and the cloth was probably a little coarser. They didn't have the skills to obtain and treat hides for clothing while they traveled, and even if they had the techniques for assembling garments from animal skins was quite different from those used with cloth.

During Westward Expansion, popular fashions included durable cotton and wool dresses for women, and sturdy trousers with vests for men, reflecting European styles. Interaction with Native American tribes also influenced fashion, incorporating materials like animal hides. Styles varied by region and social status, balancing practicality and aesthetics.
