Comparable changes in design happened in the eleventh century in the Middle East after the entry of the Turks who presented dress styles from Central Asia and the Far East. The starting in Europe of constant and progressively fast change in attire styles can be reasonably dependably dated. History specialists including James Laver and Fernand Braudel date the begin of Western design in apparel to the center of the fourteenth century. The most emotional early change in style was a sudden exceptional shortening and fixing of the male over article of clothing from calf length to scarcely covering the posterior, here and there went with stuffing in the mid-section to make it look greater.
