Men's costume and "masculine shaping" in design

Abstract

The authors propose to consider the problem of gender identity, which in male fashion can be identified by means of "masculinity". The aim of the study is to determine the constants of a man's suit that are associated with exclusively masculine qualities in clothing and constitute the meaning of the category "masculinity", its gender subtext. It has been established that in its historical and socio-cultural development, the design of a man's suit and trends in men's fashion are closely related to socio-psychological types, their style of life, and the ideology of subcultures.
