Own style, favorite color – these are elements of self-expression. Clothing initially did not mean so much, it was just a way to cover and to warm, but clothing and footwear evolved with people, it changed, it assigned different types of clothes and footwear for different groups of people or for different activities according to some criterions. Clothing in some way also acquired a range of social and cultural functions, such as individual, occupational and sexual differentiation, or social status.
