A new kind of silhouette was born, with long thing waits, large ruffs, high collars, and a geometric shape becoming quite popular.

For this activity I had to walk around the local mall and identify three stores for men and three stores for women. At first it was a little hard because I would walk past stores like Forever 21, Hollister, JC Penny and ect. What these stores have in common is that they are all coed stores.
