Look at the costumes of aristocrats of the 16th century, and youcertainly appreciate their luxury. Men and women decorated their outfits with pearls, gold threads, complex embroidery. Things were sewed from velvet, silk, brocade and other expensive fabrics. The richness of the attire was generally in vogue at the time, and to further emphasize their high position, people sewed several dozen suits at once to appear more often in new clothes.

Pay attention to the fashionable men's clothes of the 16th century. For some time, the trend was wide pants, strapped in cords at the bottom, embroidered snow-white shirts, long stockings, short raincoats with a turndown or standing collar. Later it became fashionable to wear raincoats, lined with fur, wide corrugated collars, half-masks.

Track the history of changing the women's fashioncostume of the XVI century: first ladies wore cone-shaped dresses, tight bodices, tight skirts with rings. Then the trend became luxurious pantaloons of expensive fabric and women's corrugated collars - "cutters". The latter, however, did not last long in the fashion, and they were soon replaced by very tall standing collars. Two curious tendencies are also clearly traced: the bodices became narrower and the neckline became more and more rounded and deep.

Take a few minutes to review the samplesmen's suits of the XVII century, and understand what it means "a child's male image." If at the beginning of the century the representatives of the stronger sex preferred the fashionable style of military - albeit in their own way, choosing luxurious military suits - then later in the trend were things in the style of the Sun King. Laces, bows, embroidered stockings - all these are fashionable elements of a man's suit of that time. Another bright trend of the era - a combination of a camisole and a wristwatch, contrasting in shade.

Rate and feminine savvy. By the 17th century, ladies had abandoned metal rings in skirts and found a much more elegant solution to the problem: from now on, the gorgeous dress was created by several layers of starched fabric. Initially, the emphasis was on the high waist line and wide short sleeves, but closer to the middle of the century, the double line of the skirt entered into fashion, and the bodice was given less attention.
