In this class we will be looking at Muggle Clothing Trends. As wizards we are used to wearing robes and such however, I am sure many of you are familar with muggle clothing as it is necessary for us to mix in with muggles frequently. Since most of us are familar with current muggle clothing or as muggles call it "fashion", we will be looking at muggle clothing throughout the eras and what is proper wear for men and women through those years.
