Renaissance Dresses and Fashion

Modern fashion clothes was inspired from the old fashion. Thus, if you're not exactly excited about renaissance dresses, you might not appreciate how it has influenced today's fashion sense.

Fact is, people knew how to dress well even from the 16th century. The existence of the old paintings and portraits of both men and women, young and old, rich and poor from the past that depicts their life clearly paints the truth that they where dressed in clothes that looked becoming on to them. Not all people enjoyed the status of being rich thus not all of them had the ability to acquire costly outfits. Maintaining a distinct fashion sense is the reason why people before regardless of what status were still capable of wearing becoming outfits. Social status is another factor that affects in dressing up.

Men and women of the renaissance period were famous in dressing up based to their wealth, significance in the society and social rank. Therefore, rich people acquires fine material of clothing because it is made widely available for them.

Exactly how does this fall into the tableau?

Note, isn't it obvious that, intentionally or unintentionally, the clothes we wear is a replica of our own social rank, much more of our prosperity? Today's businessmen wear tux and socialites wear cocktail dress while ordinary men and women are at ease with shirts and pants as their garments, exactly how will you explicate this?

Gold plated necklaces and diamond studded earrings are consciously worn by the rich for everybody to see, can you try to be vigilant and observe that? Not exactly a coincidence if you ask me.

I conclude that our fashion now is a likeness of what we had before- the significance was given to people who are or were rich than the others. Is their a possibility that these good looking garments came because of mere tradition?
