Louis XIV and the rise of shaving fashion
Allusions: In the 17th century, King Louis XIV of France advocated the trend of shaving his beard and wearing wigs because he couldn't grow thick beards when he was young. Nobles eagerly followed suit, shaving and matching wigs became a symbol of European high society, consolidating France's position as a fashion center. This trend continued until the 18th century, influencing the overall aesthetic of Western men.
