The main factor that has determined the variety of clothes in different times and locations is climate. The appearance of clothing also has been affected by changing styles or fashion. Other factors include available materials and technology, sexual attitudes and social status, human migration, and tradition. Clothing probably developed primarily as a protection against or adaptation to climate. In hot climates, the traditional dress for males and females is loose-fitting draped garments resembling the loincloth or kilt. In African and Arab countries this garment appears in the form of a robe. More than two layers of clothing are unusual in hotter climates. Traditional in cold climates are fitted and sewn multilayered garments, which help preserve body heat.
A clear distinction between these two traditions is blurred by the use in both of an outer cape or cloak for protection against the elements. In Western culture, interaction between these two styles has led to a more varied history of clothing than elsewhere in the world. In the non-Western world, ancient tradition prevailed until the recent expansion of Western industrialized civilization and, with it, Western dress. In ancient times, the early and long dominance of ancient Egyptian and Middle Eastern traditions of dress was effectively eliminated by the more casual style of the Greeks and Romans, who subsequently ruled the Mediterranean world for centuries. Only the Middle Eastern styles, however, have had any substantial influence on the tradition of Western dress. C Migrations During the first thousand years after the birth of Christ, invaders from northern and eastern Europe forced the Romans to withdraw from the western Mediterranean region. As Roman influence waned, Roman traditions including habits of dress were abandoned in the West. During the Middle Ages (c. ad 500-1500), the traditional Graeco-Roman styles were radically affected in the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire by the richer and more sumptuous but stiffer-looking garment styles of Muslims from the Middle East. In the West, the fitted-and-sewn garment styles of the northern and eastern Europeans, who migrated in successive waves across what remained of the Western Roman Empire, affected the Graeco-Roman styles worn there.
