Research Questions

In order to write a good anything, you need to have questions to guide you. These questions should be broad enough that you can find answers to them, but specific enough that your research paper doesn't read like a boring encyclopedia entry.

Here are my three guiding questions for my research blog on ancient Greek fashion:
- How did ancient Greek fashion change during the 400-year period when Greek culture was at its height?
- Why did males and females dress differently? How did their dress relate to their daily tasks?
- In ancient Greece, was there such thing as being "out of fashion"? Why did trends rise and fall?

My Blog Topic: Ancient Greek Fashion

I have always been very interested in the history of fashion. In college, one of my favorite courses was called "Costume History" and I learned all about the development of fashion in the 19th and 20th centuries. For a while, I thought I would even become a fashion history writer or a textile conservator but then I discovered I love teaching. Because of my previous interest in the topic, I want to explore Ancient Greek fashion!  I plan on looking at Greek art, such as sculpture, reliefs, and painting, to see firsthand what the Greeks wore. I explore the differences between male and female dress, but focus on females because they usually wear more interesting stuff. I'm excited to start researching!
