CONCEAL & REVEAL

When it comes to clothes we either conceal or reveal. It's motivation is based upon modesty or exhibitionism. People have often argued that the job of clothing is to attract attention to the body rather than to deflect or repel that attention. There is an argument that modesty is a move towards full or proper humanity, whereas immodesty arguments stress the emphasize of the animality of the wearer.

When it comes to fashion, man's clothes serve much the same purpose as sexual selection. Whereas, in the animal kingdom it is the male who appears in great finery, and uses it to attract a mate, in the human world the role is reversed and it's the female who must dress seductive to ensnare a male. In fact, clothing and fashion are essential for women to attract a mate. Once she has her mate she must perpetually keep him excited by changing her shape and colours.

It's a well known fact throughout history that men have selected partners in life based on the woman's attractiveness. Men dress to display and enhance their social status because women, for the greater part of human history, have selected their life partners on the ability to maintain and protect a family.

So women's clothes display the woman's sexual attractiveness, while a man's dress code displays the man's social status.

Of course, there is such a thing as the erogenous zone and the display of that area. An erogenous zone (from Greek ἔρως, érōs "love" and English -genous "producing" from Greek -γενής, -genḗs "born") is an area of the human body that has heightened sensitivity, the stimulation of which may generate a sexual response, such as relaxation, the production of sexual fantasies, sexual arousal and orgasm. There are 31 erogenous zones ranging from the neck to the side boob.

As much as men have always been interested in a woman's anatomy, why hasn't it been chronicled about a woman's interest in the male anatomy?

Certain parts of the body have a perceived attractiveness, but the interest lies in an evolving culture.

As much as modesty and concealment vary from culture to culture, so too does immodesty and display. In many non-European cultures they set little or no interest in such displays. Nor can it be denied that there is variation as to what counts as sexual or social attractiveness between these cultures that do.

The behaviour of men and women is assumed that it is as natural to them as behaviour is natural to animals. Thus people assume it is natural for women to be decorative and seductive. That a woman's role is for men to be seduced by female beauty, and for men to want to look after these seductive creatures.

Basically fashion or clothes cannot be a biological mating instinct.
