In the ancient times, both men and women used the loincloth to serve as undergarments. It resembles a shirt and long shorts that are worn mainly to absorb perspiration (for those who lived in warm climates) and to base an outerwear on (for those who lived in cold climates).
During the middle ages, loincloths were replaced by chemise and petticoats. The chemise was also worn by men. Women wore the chemise usually under a robe or their gowns. Petticoats, on the other hand, were strictly for women and were used to shape and stiffen their long skirts.

Corsets do not anymore include steels and whale bone; instead the more waist-friendly bodice was introduced. Under shirts were also modernized and transformed into the lacy camisoles. Drawers were used by women, as well as men, becoming the predecessor of the modern day panties.
