Elizabethan fashion refers to the clothing styles popular during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I from 1558 to 1603. This era is characterized by elaborate garments made from luxurious fabrics like silk and velvet, often adorned with intricate embroidery and lace. Both men and women wore layered outfits, with men typically donning doublets, breeches, and cloaks, while women wore long gowns with fitted bodices and wide skirts supported by petticoats. Accessories played a significant role in Elizabethan fashion, with items such as ruffs, gloves, and hats being essential for both genders. Jewelry was also prominent, with pearls and gemstones symbolizing wealth and status. The use of bright colors and bold patterns was common, reflecting the wearer’s social standing and personal taste.
