  1. Renaissance Clothing Renaissance clothing fashions began to develop in the 1490's. http://www.ehow.com/about_5373192_renaissance-clothing-information.html

  2. Social Status • Clothing during the Renaissance period was more about displaying one’s social status. • The rich would wear clothes in expensive fabrics. Materials such as silk and brocade were used for clothing. • To the rich, fashion was very important as a symbol of their wealth and influence. • To the poor, however, their concerns were that a garment be practical, and above all durable. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/renaissance-clothing.html ttp://www.howardsrenaissancedress.com/

  5. Men’s Style of Clothing • The style of men's clothing was that of a square or barrel shape with short upper garments. • Some of the most standard clothing pieces for men were the jerkin, a short sleeveless vest, the simar, a robe worn open typically without a collar, and the cod piece, which covered the opening of men's breeches. • Men kept their hair in their natural style • Men's hats style were low brimmed caps that could be turned up on one side or all around. http://www.ehow.com/about_5373192_renaissance-clothing-information.html

  7. Women Style of Clothing • Women were trend setters when it came to fashion and their clothes were adorned with great symbols of wealth if it could be afforded. • Women's outfits could contain more than five pieces and typically included a hoop, underskirt, skirt, vest, bodice and collar. • Women's clothing evolved with men’s fashion. As men's clothing became more barrel shaped, women added larger hoops and pleated skirts, as well as sleeves that would balloon on the arm and then tighten on the cuff. • Women began to show their hair for the first time instead of having it completely covered. Hair was typically worn in a braid with a light veil that might be trimmed in lace or flowers. Hair pieces for women evolved and eventually hair coverings were dictated based on weather and age. Older women kept their hair covered while younger women let theirs flow freely. http://www.ehow.com/about_5373192_renaissance-clothing-information.html
