Henry VIII wore the royal wardrobe that monarchs of the time wore. The court followed suit with everyone wearing clothing designed to impress. What may look like a dress to us was a statement of the power and majesty (and the wealth) of the King of England. In the court, wardrobe spoke volumes to those present. The "dress" that Henry VIII wore, and, in particular, the doublet and jacket, announced his rank. It was that simple. "We look like we do because we are the King of England!"
