History:

In prehistoric times, there was no word for fashion, and it was fashionable to simply be an attractive person in a pleasant environment your thoughts and words were creating.

Later, still in ancient times, it became fashionable to have colorful clay- or dye-based paints applied in interesting ways; this was body-painting, the first form of body-art (though bioluminescence can also be considered the first form of body-art).

After the invasion of Earth by humans in the 1600s, the fashion trend shifted to complex garments available only to the ruling class, such as expensive dresses and bizarre hats.  Decade by decade, the overall appearance or arrangement of those exclusive textile components/sections changed in various negligible ways, but it was all still based on pointless and silly-looking clothing.  They just wanted to cover up their bodies (which were deformed due to their choice to do harm to others and entire worlds) while distracting people from their bodies via showing off their wealth in a wearable way (because the best and most-constant way to brag about exclusive means/resources is to don and sport them, day to day).

As the Shift (2012) approached, clothes started phasing back out of style; it was fashionable to wear string bikinis, thongs, fishnet, raver attire, and other skimpy and showy things.  The diaphanous fabrics (called “slave silks” on Gor) gained popularity.  The trouble was that chaos now reigned on the Earth; humans with sickening deformities and mental disorders were disrespecting these holy articles and outfits by wearing them long before they were ready (appropriately in shape).

Post-Shift, humans started being regulated again; stricter laws kept them out of sacred areas, such as beaches and forests (which they had, for centuries, disrespected with their appearances and trash), sometimes even limiting them to within a few blocks of their own homes, sometimes banning them from having public businesses, and even demanding that they cover their deformed faces with masks.  Fashion, at this period in history, was not based so much on looks or creativity, but removing failed systems, such as democracy and religion.  It was fashionable to restore order, clean peaceful nature, and the absence of the invaders.

Years later, the old and timeless fashions were back; fitness, shared visions, re-greened regions of the Earth, nudity and couture only on acceptably-fit bodies, and humanity being reduced in all ways so that it would be easy to boot them back off the planet/s they had invaded.

–

Fails:

Any outfit on a fat or otherwise ugly person looks bad.  It is called “a fail” or “a fashion fail”.  Since 99% of humans had lifetimes of daily fashion-fails, laws and forces had to be drafted to end that madness.

An example:  You should never mix camouflage with non-camouflage.

Another example:  Cosmetics/makeup, piercings, and high-heeled shoes are always failures; they are gross, and not just because of what they are made of, but because of how they cover up and destabilize the body.
