“Fashion Changes Each Era” Queen Elizabeth would wear different type of clothing in her Era. There was a law about the colors people would wear on their clothes and the type of clothing and everyone was allowed to wear there own clothing. The law was called “Statutes of Apparel”. The idea was to restrain on the people’s clothing. “Elizabethan” was a part of a big social order. Since that era no one has weared that kind of clothing just for plays or parties. Girls now wear so much make up and buy fancy shoes and guys don't wear socks on there shoes.. People would think they look ridiculous back in that era. Not only was it the style but it was mostly the material of the clothes
Boots were made of smooth or wrinkled leather.They are hundreds of different kind of shoes now in this era . Hats like strap backs and beanies are really trendy now a days. People wear shorts under their jeans, like me it just makes it easier if you are in a sport so you can just take them off and be prepared. People stereotype on what they were wearing. It also helped identify if they were rich or poor. Only Royalty was allowed to have trimmed with ermine. Most people nowadays don’t care if they're rich or not we usually care how they rock their
Now people wear different logos in their shirts or short sleeves or long sleeves or no collars or with collars. They wore color patterns in there shirts and soft tights . Ruffs are on the cuffs. Girls wore makeup to take their wrinkles or other signs of acne or any type of skin infections. In our era, girls and boys wear inappropriate clothing that people think that it's weird now they would obviously would think it would be weird back in Queen Elizabeth era. Kids now have the freedom to go to places and go party as if they were 20 years old and they wear clothes that show there bodys and in the era of Queen Elizabeth u weren't allowed to show ur body or any parts of her body .Queen Elizabeth had her own fashion and wore her makeup differently . Girls back in the era would wear hats or use a little fan to keep them cool . One thing girls would wear are dresses and skirts but now they wear jeans or shorts . They had little pouches to carry their money and wore tights. Celebrities wear expensive clothes, well yeah you can say they have money like the royalty in the era of Queen Elizabeth . People carry a lot of stuff with them like wallets or purses where you could keep ur money or important items you carry
