One thing that has exercised a constant influence on popular culture is fashion. Regardless of the time, if you visit the lanes of history, you will find that each period is distinguished from the other by its clothing. To date, we pride ourselves on being more modern and forward-thinking than our ancestors when it comes to fashion.
