Fashion

Fashion is one of the most important things especially on woman, we are not saying that men do not like fashion, it is just that is more common to see a woman worrying about her outfit.

Now, we are going to explain the different types of clothing woman, men and children wear.

In the Womans wear:

This women worn long gowns, with sleeves, they put a kirtle or undergown, with a linen chemise or smock worn next to the skin, a high-waisted down of the late medieval period involved in several directions in different parts of Europe. In some parts of Germany gowns reamined short-waisted. The open-fronted gown laced over the kirtle. Sleeves were puffed and slashed cuffed. Queen Elizabeth proposed a headwear that was like a hood, this was usually worn by younger women.

In menswear:

Mens silhouette was long and narrow, but gradually it grew wider until by later reign of Henry the VIII the silhouette was almost square, with shoulders emphasis achieved through wide rebers and collars and large sleeves. The spanish influenced narrower silhouette. Shoulders list their padding and developed a slight slope, Jerkins closed to the neck. Their skirts were shorter and slightly flared rather than full, and they displayed more of the hose. They were restrained to wear overalls so, that was not part of their fashion.

In Childrens wear:

This was the most simple clothing they did not have to wear that many things, their outfits were like the adult clothing but in smaller version, they had complete low necklines and cumbersome underthings. Children of the nobility must have had limited freedom of movement to play and romp because of the restrictive clothing they wore. Toddler boy wore gowns until they were breached.
