An old engraving of clothing worn in Tudor/Elizabethan times in England. The style of dress dates from latter part of the 16th and early 17th centuries during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603). More variety crept into taste and fashions of the era. Women’s clothes featured long dresses and robes often embroidered with jewels. Neck ruffs were popular. For men doublet and hose were worn, with breeches of various lengths below a tapered/narrow waist or cod-piece. Short cloaks worn over this. These would have been worn by those in society with money, landed gentry and the nobility at court.
An old engraving of clothing worn in Tudor/Elizabethan times in England. The style of dress dates from latter part of the 16th and early 17th centuries during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603). More variety crept into taste and fashions of the era. Women’s clothes featured long dresses and trailing robes were often embroidered with jewels. Pinched narrow waists and neck ruffs were popular. Sleeves became tighter. Women’s hair was often styled, sometimes combed upwards. Hats were now sometimes dispensed with. For men the doublet and hose were in vogue, with breeches of various lengths below a tapered and narrow waist or cod-piece. Short cloaks worn over the top. Ruffs again featured, as did chains. As with females, hats were not always worn by men. Hair length varied and beards and moustaches were fashionable. This attire would have been worn by those in society with money, landed gentry, the nobility and others connected to the royal court. This image is from an old Victorian history book.
