About
After the Civil War, grooming and tailoring improved. More variety could be seen in men and women’s clothing. The term “dude” came into being for men. It described a “dandy”, or a man who wore fancier clothing and spent more time on his appearance. A man’s silhouette tended to appear somewhat shapeless with square shoulders, straight waists, and looser-fitting clothing.
