During the Elizabethan era, fashion varied greatly between the rich and poor. The upper class wore extravagant, colorful clothing made from fine materials, while the poor wore simple, dull outfits made from basic fabrics. Women typically wore long gowns with corsets, ruffs, shoes, and hats. Men wore doublets, breeches, ruffs, hats, and collars, along with shirts, stockings, and codpieces underneath. Sumptuary laws strictly governed clothing styles and what could be worn by social class during this time.
