Reading Planet: Astro – Why Are You Wearing THAT? A history of the clothes we wear - Saturn/Venus band

Why are you wearing THAT?! Only joking, you look great! That's the title of this book, which is all about the clothes that people have worn throughout history.

Once upon a time, humans didn't wear very much at all, except for the odd animal fur.

Nowadays, we have all sorts of cool, weird and wonderful fashions.

But how did these fashions develop? And where did they come from? How do people even make clothes? Read this book to find out the answers to these questions and much, much more!

You'll learn about three-metre-wide skirts, shoes so pointy they need to be chained to your knees, sports team kits and the future of fashion.
