Anthu ambiri amasangalala ndi momwe amavala komanso kuphunzitsidwa nthawi zakale. Ndikupempha kuti ndiwerenge za nsapato za mtundu wa Europe kuyambira ku Middle Ages.
Mafumu apakatikati anali ndi mphamvu zopanda malire, choncho nthawi zina malemba oyambirira ankafalitsidwa omwe amakhudza mbali zonse za moyo wa anthu. Chitsanzo ichi chingakhale lamulo la Mfumu Phillip IV ya ku France kuti onse abwenzi abwino ayenera kuvala nsapato zokhala ndi masokosi. Ndipo kutalika kwa nsapato kumasonyeza kukula kwa mtundu wa mwiniwake. Olemekezeka achilendo ankavala nsapato masentimita imodzi ndi theka kuposa kukula kwake kwa phazi. Mabanoni ankavala nsapato masentimita awiri yaitali, ndi akalonga ndi masentimita atatu. Kuti asapunthwe komanso osamamatira kumbuyo kwa nsapato zazitali, olemekezeka adalumikiza nsapato ya nsapato ku mwendo mothandizidwa ndi twine.
Zotsatirazi, zaka za XV, moyo wa olemekezeka unachepa. Zovala zinakhala zazifupi komanso zochepa. Kuti apatse chisomo ku nsapato, opanga nsapato anayamba kumumanga misomali kwa nkhuni. Nsapato za akazi sizinali zooneka ngati zodabwitsa. Makhalidwe a nthawi imeneyo sanalole akazi abwino kuti asonyeze ngakhale nsapato. Koma anthu amatha kunyalanyaza zonse. Panthawiyi padzakhala chidendene chofiira, chomwe chinkawonekera anthu otchuka kuchokera kwa anthu a makalasi ena.
Nyengo yotsatira ikutha kutchedwa nyengo ya Baroque. Panthawiyi, mkulu wa mafashoni wa ku France, wodabwitsa monga momwe angaoneke, anali msilikali wa ku France. Anayambitsa nsapato zazikulu zamatenda ndi zitsulo zamitundu. Cholinga cha zidendenezi ndi kuthandiza ndi kukwera. Ndi chithandizo chawo, wokwerayo anagwiritsabe ntchito bwino. Pa nthawi yomweyi mu mafashoni sizinali zankhondo chabe, komanso mabotolo. Fashoni imeneyi inatha mpaka kumapeto kwa zaka za XVII.
Panthawiyi, panali nsapato zatsopano - nsapato, zomwe ziri ngati nsapato zamunthu zamakono. Iwo anali atavekedwa ndi nsalu zowonongeka zomwe zinamangiriza miyendo yawo. Pa nthawi yomweyo, miyamboyi inachepetsedwa. Tsopano masiketi a akazi ndi aang'ono ndi achikazi pang'ono. Izi zinapangitsa kuti apange nsapato zazimayi. Tsopano miyendo ya akazi imadzimasula okha ku nsapato zovuta kumagulu akuluakulu a matabwa ndi zidendene zomwezo. Nsapato zodzikongoletsera za silika, nsalu zamatabwa, velvet, zokongoletsedwa ndi zokongoletsera, miyala yamtengo wapatali inasonyezedwa. Mu 1680, mafashoni anatulutsa zidendene zapamwamba komanso zoonda zomwe akazi amatha kuyenda pokha pa ndodo. Amuna sankakonda kugwa kumbuyo kwa hafu yokongola, komanso amavala nsapato ndi zidendene. Ndipo pomwepo adayamba kuperekedwa maulamuliro a mfumu, omwe adatsimikizira kutalika kwa chitsendetsedwe ku nyumba iliyonse. Mwachibadwa, malo apamwamba, apamwamba chidendene.
Patapita nthawi, mafashoni anayamba kukhala ndi nsapato zokhala ndi masokosi owoneka bwino. Pang'onopang'ono, gawo lakumwamba linakula ndikufutukuka, ndipo gawo lomaliza linachepa. Zaka makumi khumi ndi ziwiri za m'ma 1600 zinali zocheperapo kuti zinali zovuta kupitirirabe. Chifukwa chake, nsapatozi zinamangidwa ndi zida zapadera. Nsapatozo zinali zopangidwa ndi velvet, silika, zikopa. Mtundu wa nsapato unali wosiyana: wofiira, wachikasu, woyera, wabuluu ndi ena. Musatayike ndi nsapato ndi nsalu zomangiriza za chikopa, koma iwo amavala kwambiri chifukwa chokwera.
Kusintha kwakukulu mu nsapato kunangochitika m'zaka za zana la XVII. Ndipo oyambitsa zatsopano anali kachiwiri French. Panthawiyi, woyendetsa zinthu anali Louis XIV. Munthu uyu anali wokonda kukwera pamahatchi, ndipo anapanga mabotolo apadera ndi bootlegs . Zingwe za nsapatozo zinali zodzaza ndi lace lokongola. Mitundu imene amaikonda ndi yofiirira komanso yachikasu. Patapita kanthawi, chokoleti choyera, chakuda ndi nsapato zakuda chinafika mu mafashoni. Nsapato ndi nsapato zimangovala pokhapokha, nthawi zovuta. Patapita kanthawi, nsapato zinayamba kusonkhanitsidwa kuchokera ku satini yoyera ndi zidendene zofiira kwambiri. Pofuna kuteteza nsapato pa nyengo yamvula, zikopa zapadera za chikopa zinkavala kapena zowonjezereka za matabwa zinamangidwa. M'zaka za m'ma 1800, m'nthawi ya rococo, mafashoni anabwezeredwa ku zinyumba zowopsa. Panthaŵi imodzimodziyo, chidwi chachikulu chimaperekedwa kukongoletsa ndi zokongoletsera. Pali ziphuphu zovuta, kuthamanga ndi kugwadira pa kuwuka kwakukulu.
Sikuti aliyense amadziwa kuvala ndi kuvala nthawi zakale, koma mchitidwe wapamwamba wa nsapato amafotokozedwa ndi akatswiri ambiri a mbiri yakale, amaimiridwa m'mamyuziyamu, omwe akuwonetsedwa mu zithunzi.
