Yes. The separatists (AKA Pilgrims) were the first colonists and they founded Plymouth Plantation (1620) with about 100 colonists. However, they didn't ultimately succeed. The anti-separatists (AKA Puritans) did. They founded Massachusetts Bay Colony (1630) with about 1000 colonists and they did ultimately succeed. Both of them dressed very similarly and it would be difficult to tell them apart without a dated picture. Yes they did wear the buckle shoes, the breeches and black doublets, and the funny hats.

∙ 6y agoOnly wealthy people dressed entirely in black clothes, because black dyed cloth was expensive - most of the English colonists would really have worn grey or brown. Modern Americans generally have an image of these Pilgrims inspired by modern Cartoons and "traditional" portrayals; the reality was rather different.

What colors do pilgrims wear?
Colonists or Pilgrims wore mostly either all white, all black, or a combination of white and black (such as white shirt, black pants and coat). Dyes were expensive, not always available - especially in frontier areas. As more skilled persons arrived in America, tailors along with of course fabric makers and dyers set up their shops. Later, you'd find strong colors (example red), or accent colors, and prints.

Did the pilgrims wear outfits that had color in them or did they wear outfits that were just plain black and white?
The stereotypical pilgrim wears black and white. We know that they actually wore color because black dye was practically impossible to get in the U.S and was very expensive, and they were poor. They didn't wear a rainbow, they just didn't wear black and white all the time. We obviously don't know exactly what they wore because we weren't there and they aren't here!

There are only two colors she shouldn't wear - white or black. White, because only the bride should wear white.
