Tennis Attire
- The game of tennis was originally a game of the rich, played by male players in hats and ties, and women in corsets and bustles.
- It adopted a strict dress code in the 1890s, and white clothing became the official tennis attire. This dress code wasn't a great option for middle-class or working-class people, as pristine white had to be laundered, something that was expensive.
- Later the swinging sixties made tennis attire rules relaxed, and new appliances like the washing machine made washing clothes easier and affordable to the working class, making it a viable option for many more people.
