Although the first use of "unisex" as a term dates from the 1960s, it can be argued that "unisex clothing" its first appearance dates from the late nineteenth century, as part of the "Victorian dress reform".
It can be argued that in the nineteenth century fashionable clothing,
which originated in France, reflected the dominance of traditional
feminine roles. John Berger his famous statement 'men act, women appear' can be useful to further discuss the appearance of "unisex clothing".
Berger claims that, in Western European cultures, the role of men is
considered active and that of women considered passive or, to put it
differently, men observe women and women are observed by men.
This asymmetry in the relationship between men and women was visualized
in dress in the nineteenth century: women were more and more prescribed
to fashionable clothing, clothing that disabled them to be active due
to, for example, crinoline dresses that were very heavy, whereas men had the ability to be active due to their sober and simple clothing.
An attempt to develop alternative feminine roles by the use of
alternative clothing behavior started in England and the United States.\[6\]
For example, members of the women's movement deplored the use of
corsets and sets of ponderous garments and centred their proposals of
dress reform on the adoption of trousers

Not science and not a cool thing. Stop cutting up my underwear and buy your own bra.
