(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
An article of clothing (also known as dress or attire) is any garment worn on the human body for protection against the elements, protection against work conditions, modesty, adornment, as a statement of socioeconomic class or religious affiliation, or as a means of maintaining a power hierarchy. (Humans have also dressed up non-human animals for a variety of reasons.) Clothing is a collective noun; the only singular form is "garment" or "article of clothing." Other adornments, such as jewelry, hairstyle, hats, and tattoos, are at times considered articles of clothing.
History of clothing
Prior to the invention of clothing, mankind existed in a state of nudity.
The earliest clothing was likely of fur, animal skin, leaves or grass, draped, wrapped or tied about the body for protection from the elements. Knowledge of such clothing is inferential, since clothing matrials deteriorate quickly compared to stone, bone, shell and metal artifacts. Very early sewing needles of bone and ivory, from about 30,000 B.C., were found near Kostenki, Russia in 1988.
Mark Stone, an anthropologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, has conducted a genetic analysis of human body lice that shows they first evolved only 72,000 ± 42,000 years ago. Since humans have very sparse body hair body lice require clothing to survive, so this suggests a surprisingly recent date for the invention of clothing. Its invention may have coincided with the spread of modern Homo sapiens from Africa, thought to have begun between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago.
Clothing and social status
The use of clothing can be a powerful social statement. Luxurious, perfectly tailored clothing in expensive fabrics marks the wearer as wealthy and powerful. Royalty has long assumed the exclusive privilege of wearing unique materials, such as purple-dyed cloth, ermine fur, or feathers of rare birds. Garments with a unique or trendy appearance show that the wearer is knowledgeable about fashion and wants to make a favorable impression. Mahatma Gandhi wore a simple loincloth to show his humility. Excessively worn, soiled clothing may indicate either poverty, illness, or disdain for appearances.
The "plain clothes" dress of Amish and Mennonite women not only sets them apart from the rest of industrialized America, but their headpiece specifically indicates acceptance of the hierarchy (God above men, men above women). Corsets worn by women from the Victorian era through the 1800's were intended to help support their frail bodies, but may instead have caused their fainting spells.
Dress codes
There are dress codes on certain social occasions and for certain jobs. Schools may require school uniforms; if plain clothes are allowed there may be restrictions (see for example [1] ). A doorkeeper of a disco or nightclub may judge visitor's clothing and refuse entrance to those who are not exotically or expensively clad.
Clothing may be intentionally oversized for reasons of fashion or personal preference. The rap duo Kriss Kross of two teenage boys wore all of their clothes backwards and extremely baggy.
Functional clothing
Some clothing is specialised equipment for a special purpose, such as a diving suit (these are included in the list below).
Part of the surface of clothes may be made retroreflective (small parts of coats, large parts of special high-visibility clothing for rescue workers etc.). This way they become much more visible in the dark for observers near a light source, such as the driver of a car with its headlights on. The pattern of the retroreflecting parts also helps to distinguish between objects and people.
For greater visibility at daytime, as well as for decoration, very bright colors are obtained with fluorescence. To reduce their visibility to other, soldiers and wildlife hunters or observers wear clothes with a camouflage pattern.
Fashionable clothing
Fashion in clothes has allowed wearers to express emotion or solidarity with other people for millennia. Modern Westerners have a wide choice available in the possible selection of their clothes. What a person chooses to wear can reflect their personality or likes. When people who have cultural status start to wear new or different clothes a fashion trend may start; people who like or respect them may start to wear clothes of a similar style.
Fashions may vary significantly within a society according to age, social class, generation, occupation and geography as well as over time.
Fashion houses and their associated fashion designers, as well as high-status consumers (including celebrities), appear to have some role in determining the rates and directions of fashion change in clothing.
Materials
Common clothing materials include:
Less common clothing materials include:
- Cloth
- Down for down-filled parkas

- Leather
Reinforcing materials such as wood, plastic and metal may be used to stiffen garments such as corsets, bodices, or swimsuits.

Fetish clothing
See main article: Fetish clothingSome types of clothing, and clothing materials, are fetishized by some people. Commonly fetishized materials include leather, rubber, lycra and PVC. Commonly fetishized types of clothing include shoes and skin-tight clothing.

This page will detail the various styles used by royalty and nobility in Europe, in the final form arrived at in the nineteenth century. In earlier years, many different styles were used, with little standardization. Styles represent the fashion by which monarchs and noblemen are or were properly addressed.
Imperial, Royal, and Princely Styles
Emperors and Empresses had the style of Imperial Majesty (HIM=His or Her Imperial Majesty)
Members of imperial families, generally had the style of Imperial Highness (HIH).
Kings and Queens have the style of Majesty (HM)
- In Austria, the members of the Imperial family, due to their status as also members of the royal family of Hungary, held the style of Imperial and Royal Highness (HIRH).
- In Russia, while the more senior Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses held the style of imperial highness, more junior Princes and Princesses of Russia held the style of His or Her Highness (HH)
Members of royal families (Princes and Princesses) generally have the style of Royal Highness (HRH), although in some royal families (for instance, Denmark), more junior princes and princesses only bear the style of His or Her Highness (HH)
Reigning Grand Dukes and Grand Duchesses hold the style of Royal Highness (HRH).
The styles of members of Grand Ducal families has been inconsistent. In Luxemburg, more senior members of the family have also been Royal Highnesses. In Baden and Hesse and the Rhine, junior members held the style of Grand Ducal Highness (HGDH). Members of other grand ducal families generally held the style of Highness (HH).
Reigning Dukes and Duchesses bore the style of Highness (HH), as did other members of ducal families.
The Elector of Hesse-Kassel also bore the style of Highness, as did other members of the Hesse-Kassel family.
Mediatized Dukes and reigning and mediatized Fürsten and Fürstinnen bear the style of Serene Higness (HSH, German Durlaucht), as do other members of princely families.
Mediatized Counts and Countesses bear the style of Illustrious Highness (German Erlaucht).
Noble Styles in Britain
Dukes and Duchesses in the peerages of England, Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland, and the United Kingdom bear the style of Grace, eg. "His Grace", "Your Grace". They are also known as "Most Noble," although this style is largely archaic, except in the most formal situations.
Marquesses, Marchionesses, Earls, Countesses, Viscounts, Viscountesses, Barons and Baronesses in these peerages bear the style of Lordship, eg. "His Lordship", "Her Ladyship", "Your Lordship", and "Your Ladyship."
Marquesses and Marchionesses are also referred to as "The Most Honourable"
Earls, Countesses, Viscounts, Viscountesses, Barons and Baronesses are also referred to as "The Right Honourable."
For more details, see Forms of Address in the United Kingdom
Noble Styles in Germany
Non-mediatized noble Dukes in Germany bear the style of Serene Highness (HSH) or High Born (Hochgeboren)
Non-mediatized noble Fürsten in Germany bear the styles of Serene Highness, Princely Grace (fürstliche Gnaden), or High Born
Other non-mediatized German nobles of the rank of Count or higher bear the style of High Born
German nobles of below the rank of count bear the style of High Well Born (Hochwohlgeboren)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A Style is a form of address which by tradition or law precedes a reference to a person who holds a title or post, or to the office itself. A style can also be awarded to an individual in a personal capacity. Styles are particularly associated with monarchies, where they may be used by a female marital partner of an office holder or of a prince of the blood, for the duration of their marriage. They are also universally used for presidents in republics and in many countries for members of Parliament, judges and senior constitutional office holders. Leading religious figures also have styles.
Examples of Styles
In Religion
- His Holiness The Pope (written: HH Pope John Paul II / spoken: 'Your Holiness')
- His Holiness The Dalai Lama (spoken: 'Your Holiness')
- His Eminence Cardinal Law (spoken: 'Your Eminence')
- The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Dr. Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
In Monarchies
- Her Majesty The Queen (written: HM Queen Elizabeth II/Margarethe II of Denmark/Sophia of Spain / spoken: 'Your Majesty')
- His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales (written: HRH The Prince of Wales/ spoken: 'Your Royal Highness')
- His Serene Highness The Prince of Monaco (HSH Prince Ranier III / spoken: 'Your Serene Highness')
- His Excellency The Governor-General of Australia (written: HE Sir William Deane / spoken: 'Your Excellency')
In Republics
Similar styles are used universally in republics worldwide.
- Her Excellency The President of Ireland (HE President McAleese / spoken: 'Your Excellency' or as 'President') [a gaelic equivalent also exists].
- Mr President (spoken style for the United States President and all living former holders of the office.)
Other Styles
- The Right Honourable Paul Murphy, MP (written: Rt. Hon. Paul Murphy, MP/when spoken in Parliamentary debates, the 'Right Honourable Member'. )'' [This style denotes membership of the Privy Council.1]
- The Honourable member for . . . [used in parliamentary debate for MPs who are not members of the Privy Council]
- The Distinguished Gentleman/Gentlewoman [used in the US Congress]
- His Grace the Duke of Marlborough (spoken: 'Your Grace').
- Her Worship Mayor Hazel McCallion (Ceremonial title used by a mayor or other chief executive of municipal government in Canada)
Political Titles Used as Styles
British Prime Ministers are addressed as Prime Minister. Irish Taoisigh (prime ministers) are addressed singularly as Taoiseach. Other Irish and British politicians are similarly addressed by their title alone.In most other countries politicians are addressed by their title preceded by Mister or Madam depending on the gender of the holder. For example Mr. Minister, Madam Secretary, Mr. Mayor, etc. This manner of address is also frequently used by members of the international media who may not be familiar with a politician's specific honorific title, but still want to show respect.
Styles Existing Through Marriage
Whereas Britain's Princess Royal (Princess Anne) is styled HRH, her husband, Timothy Lawrence, has no style. In contrast, when Sophie Rhys Jones married Prince Edward, as 'Princess Edward' or the 'Countess of Wessex' she has a HRH, by virtue of her marriage to a royal prince. Similarly, while the sons of the Prince of Wales and the daughters of the Duke of York (Prince Andrew) have HRH styles, the children of the Princess Royal have no styles. (She requested that they be given no courtesy titles or peerages).
Former Styles
All former monarchies had styles, some, as in the Bourbon monarchy of France, extremely complicated depending on the status of the office or office-holder. Dr. Otto von Habsburg, who was Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary (1916-1918), had the style 'His Imperial Highness'. He was last addressed as such by church figures during the funeral of his late mother, Empress-Queen Zita of Austria-Hungary in 1986.
Styles & Titles of Deposed Monarchs
General tradition indicates that where a monarch as been deposed but has not abdicated, they retain the use of their style and title for the duration of their lifetime, but both die with them. Hence Greece's deposed king is still technically 'His Majesty King Constantine II of the Hellenes', as a personal title, not a constitutional office, since the declaration of the Hellenic Republic in 1973-4. Similarly, until his death the last king of Italy, Umberto II was technically entitled to be called 'His Majesty the King of Italy' or 'Your Majesty'. In contrast, the ex-King Michael I of Romania, who abdicated his throne in 1947, technically lost the use of his title, though out of politeness, he may still be called 'His Majesty the King' or 'Your Majesty'. (While this rule is generally observed, and indeed some exiled monarchs are allowed diplomatic passports by their former state, other states take offence at the use of such titles. The current Hellenic Republic has long challenged King Constantine's right to use his title; in 1981, the then Greek President Constantine Karamanlis declined to attend the wedding of the Prince of Wales when it was revealed that Greece's deposed monarch, a friend of the Prince, had been referred to as 'king' in his invitation. ) Former United States presidents are by tradition referred to as if still in office (eg., President Carter, President Ford, etc.)
The late Diana, Princess of Wales held the style 'Her Royal Highness' or HRH during her marriage to HRH the Prince of Wales. Her marital status was indicated by the title 'Princess of Wales.' When the couple divorced, she lost her title which only existed by virtue of her marriage to a royal prince, becoming instead 'Diana, Princess of Wales.' While there was the option of awarding a 'HRH' style to Diana, Princess of Wales in her personal capacity (which could be justified, given that she was the mother of a future king), it was decided not to award her the style. As a result, from the moment of her divorce until her death, she ceased to hold any formal style, though out of courtesy, many people still applied the style 'HRH' to her. Similarly when Sarah, Duchess of York was divorced from her husband, HRH the Duke of York, she too lost her HRH style. Controversially, Wallis Simpson was not given the HRH style by King George VI when she married his brother, the former King Edward VIII, by then known as HRH the Duke of Windsor. The fear was that, even though if the couple divorced (she had already divorced two husbands) she would lose the style, she could conceivably still try to use it, undermining its status and respect.
Other Parallel Symbols
Styles were often one of a range of symbols that surrounded figures of high office. Everything from the manner of address to the behaviour of a person on meeting that personage was surrounded by traditional symbols. Monarchs were to be bowed to by men and curtsied to by women. Senior clergy, particularly in the Roman Catholic Church, were to have their rings (the symbol of their authority) kissed on bended knee, while cardinals in an act of homage at the papal coronation were meant to kiss the feet of the Supreme Pontiff, the Pope.
Many of these traditions have lapsed or been partially abandoned. At his inauguration as pope in 1978 (itself the abandonment of the traditional millennium old papal coronation), John Paul II himself kissed cardinals on the cheeks, rather than follow the traditional method of homage, having his feet kissed. Curtsies have for many years been no longer obligatory when meeting members of the British Royal Family; indeed some royals positively hate the being curtsied to. One described the experience of a row of curtseying women, bobbing up and down, as leaving them 'sea-sick'. (Curiously, Americans seem more attached to the curtseying to British royalty than most British people.)
As a result, styles, though still used, are used less often. The current President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, is usually referred to as 'President Mary McAleese', not 'President McAleese', as had been the form used for the first six presidents, from President Hyde to President Hillery. Tony Blair asked initially to be called 'Tony.' In a break with tradition, though as the second in line to the throne and a son of a royal prince, Prince William of Wales formally has a HRH style, he has chosen while in university not to use it.
However, styles are still widely used in formal documents and correspondence between heads of state, such as in a Letter of Credence accrediting an ambassador from one head of state to another.

(Reproduction Number: HABS, GA,108-COLM,4-1) Begun in 1859 for the wealthy Scottish immigrant James A.

The ironwork shown here on the veranda is based on the Gothic architecture of medieval England and France.

The Isaac Bell House is an important early example of the Shingle Style, a style of Victorian architecture popular in the late nineteenth century and named after the decorative shingles used on the exterior. The designers of the Bell House, the architects McKim, Mead, & White, designed several important buildings in Newport and elsewhere, including Madison Square Garden and the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City.
