Best Answer

The class system in Shakespeare's England was very rigid. People were only allowed to wear the clothes permitted to their social class. For example, only the highest classes could wear purple clothes. Shakespeare worked like crazy to get the College of Arms to grant a coat of arms to his father. This pushed Shakespeare up a class, so he could call himself "Mr. Shakespeare" and refer to himself as a "gentleman". Although it doesn't seem important to us, such signs of class were of extraordinary importance to Shakespeare and his contemporaries.

On the off-chance that you might have been thinking of classes in school, the classes in Shakespeare's time were very different from what they are now: each school had only one class of all boys aged 7-13.
