increasingly fast-paced lifestyle of American women.
The term started out as a fashion industry term describing
informal and interchangeable separates (i.e., blouses, shirts, skirts
and shorts),and in the 1920s became a popular descriptive term for
relaxed, casual wear typically worn for spectator sports.
The term can also refer to active wear which is clothing
