Opulence and lavish fashion were on an upward trend in Europe in the 1500s, especially for the upper class and royalty. Lace, feathers, ruffles, highly ornate embroidery and even jeweled embellishments were all characteristic of this era's clothing - for both men AND women.

Women would have worn a either half- or full-sleeved gown over an undergarment called a kirtle (a baggy type of jumper) or a bodice and petticoat. Men's fashions featured linen ruffs (ruffled collars) with matching wrist pieces. They would have worn linen shirts under a jacket (doublet) or vest (jerkin) over hose of one style or another.

Capes, long and hooded cloaks and, for men, military-style jackets were popular outerwear in this era.

Fabrics such as linen and finely printed silks would have been imported from Asia and other foreign land. These more exotic materials would have been afforded by only the richest folk, ready and willing to literally wear their wealth on their sleeves!
