Wearing Stripes Could Get You Killed in Medieval Europe | History Of | Racked 

Since I started watching youtube when I was about 12 years old, I have never enjoyed any youtube channel as much as I do racked. I was always interested in the sociological and psychological aspect of fashion and am very passionate about learning why fashion shapes us so much as human beings, your channel is doing exaclty that. I really appreciate the effort of taking a unique and more scientific approach to fashion and it is exactly what was missing on this powerful platform. I have spent 3 days binge watching all of the channels video and I loved every single one of them. I want to say that it is very much appreciated, thank you so much.

I wonder if there's a pattern today that's taboo to wear?

Lots of patterns before french revolution wore stripes. Look at Marie Antoniete´s period dresses. They became popular because there was better technollogy to print clothes with patterns (it happened too with flowers) In fact, a stripped gown was the very best sign of a supreme dressmaker, because all the stripes were well aligned

How about the history of perfume?

As an art researcher, I wish I could work for you, you are literally the best.

zebras are actually evil, they're so mean lmao. that's why we didn't domesticate them like horses.

Leviticus be messing up fashions for so long!

I’m here because I wondered about pin stripes and baseball uniforms and suits. What came first? Now I’m onto something cooler. Thank you.

I wear stripes almost everyday. I need to time travel.

Or how about the history of preppy fashion?

You have the coolest job! How about a history of bangs? Or tattoos? Or eating disorders (doesn't always have to be light)

How about Animal Print?! :)

I have kind of an obsession with stripes. I swear I own 8 stripped shirts

The history of sneakers

Mmmm sorry but the stripes were also present in the Bourbone dinasty in Spain before the US revolution, that was infact what inspire my Flag (I'm from Argentina), so you maybe missed something along the way.

Um hi i'm early

So ... why was it ok to wear stripes in the Renaissance, if they were seen as a sign of outcasts between 12th and 18th century? Was it because people back then were just overall crazy hipsters, or for some other strange reason?
