RENAISSANCE CLOTHING
By: Sarah Hawk
CHARACTERISTICS
Around the 1490’s costumes became the new kind of style and that is when the Renaissance began.
Dark color, black velvet, white linen, gold, and burgundy were the common colors worn.
Rich, heavy materials, large sleeves, close to the body garments, large hip clothing, and heelless shoes were also the commonly worn.
Feathers on hats, and men especially wore tights.
