(Main article: Plain White Movement) In the late New Elizabethan Era, most of the fasteners were in common use, including buttons, press studs, zips, laces and velcro, though silent velcro had yet to be invented. By contrast, the Plain White trend was partly characterised by a complete absence of any kind of fastening. Clothes were almost totally unadorned and part of this, rather like the Amish trend, was that at first they were the likes of simple tunics or white T-shirts with elasticated trousers and slip-on shoes, which was intended to be a fashion statement about the simplicity of John Lennon's nutopian messge. While this trend is now long gone, two of its legacies were the erosion of gendered clothing and the disappearance of buttons.
