17th century France fashion?
How did 17th century France fashion determine where a person stood in the society? And if you wore a certain kind of clothing, did it limit your power of speech? Please show sources and websites. Thanks in advance.
For example, if you wore a three piece suit and you had ribbons and clean boots. And you are a noble, would that mean you would have more power of speech over someone who is poor and wears tattered clothing and has no ribbons?
Well, I cannot cite a source for you because I learned this in European history two years ago. I'm sure you can find it on the Internet by searching for www.costumes.org
Anyways, the upper class in France were the only ones allowed to wear the latest fashions. They had laws called "sumptuary laws" which prevented lower classes from even purchasing the richer goods to make these clothes. This was a form of control by the upper class, in an effort to make sure the lower poor were kept under their thumbs in all aspects of life, not just politically and monetarily. Similar laws were placed in England as well, but were abolished during the French Revolution. So yes, a man who was better dressed was given more respect and time than one who was slovenly and tattered, just as a social more.
