   • In the Twenty-first Century, we take sportswear for 

      granted.
   • We all wear it.
   • But why “SPORTS wear”?
   • What is its relationship to sport?
   • Where did it come from?
   • What struggles did women face in order to play sports, to

      wear clothing that allowed them freedom of movement in a

      fashion-driven world?

   • What relationship do sports have to the clothing that

      defines American Style?
