Renaissance fashion reflected cultural progress and increased trade, which allowed more access to new materials. The rich wore elaborate, brightly colored robes and dresses decorated with gold and silver embroidery, often depicting legends and biblical scenes. Natural motifs were also used. People indulged in jewelry, furs, and wigs. Hairstyles were elaborately decorated with gems, brooches, wires, and ribbons to appear as large and high as possible, sometimes using wigs or hair additions. Dress consisted of layered skirts and dresses under petticoats for women, and for men, fashionable outfits evolved from English riding outfits to include tight pants and boots by 1800.
