Historians, including James Laver and Fernand Braudel, date the start of Western fashion in clothing to the middle of the 14th century,though it should be noted that they tend to rely heavily on contemporary imagery and illuminated manuscripts were not common before the fourteenth century.

Fashion is a popular style or practice, especially in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, hairstyle and body.
