Clothes In Hot Weather - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This book is part of the "Costumes and clothes" series and discusses the types of clothing worn by people throughout the world in hot weather. Although the development of clothing is considered the main emphasis is on the present-day form of dress. Specific geographical regions such as Asia, Africa, Europe and South America are chosen and the author shows how the culture and traditions of these areas have influenced the style of dress. The materials and colours used are considered and how they have been chosen in relation to the climate and adapted within these limitations for work, sport and leisure. The text is accompanied by a glossary of difficult or unusual terms and a further reading list.
