    I think suit/tie and dresses are the only type of clothing every human will recognize for as long as civilization as we know it doesn’t crumble. You could show someone from 100300 years ago, a suit or a dress from today, and they would know what it was

      The suit is a 20th century invention.

      Someone might “know what it was”, i.e. it’s a jacket that doesn’t close properly and matching pants. But, they didn’t exist until the 20th century.

      It’s a matter of time before they finally go out of fashion, and people look at them like we look at men wearing tights and shirts with puffy sleeves.

        Nah. It was invented in the 17th century.

        Edit: and the suits from the 18th century look almost exactly the same as ours
