Understanding Tudor and Elizabethan fashion
Tudor and Elizabethan fashion are best known for their intricate and ornate designs, especially during the reign of Elizabeth I, with the queen herself being an ardent follower of fashion. Naturally, her court would immediately follow suit.
The clothes worn showed how wealthy a person was, and the materials were made of fine linen, silk or wool, decorated with sparkling jewels.
The aristocratic women wore padded skirts held with loops, and the men wore white silk shirts with frills at the wrists and neck. Their shirts were also paired with doublets and tight-fit trousers.
On the other hand, commoners wore loose-fitting clothes made from woollen cloth and had limitations regarding which trimmings and colours they could wear.
Although these styles were quite similar, there were a few distinctions. Tudor fashion had wider sleeves, fewer ruffles, and a straighter waistline for women, whereas Elizabethan fashion was more striking, with more dramatic pointed waistlines and emphasised ruffles.
