Fashion During The Renaissance


Men's dress during The Renaissance, was just as fancy, except without the jewelry. Undergarments were worn on the men, and it was not unusual form them to wear tights. Tights ran up the legs, and were often of bright colors. Above the waist men were very elegant by wearing tight sleeves, velvit tunics, and silk frills. Lace was used on much of the clothing that men wore.

Italy was, and still is a very beautiful country. Many of the resources and geographical features of Italy were not yet discovered at the time of The Renaissance. The country of Italy is located in Southern Europe, which extenRAB into the central Mediterranean Sea, northeast of Tunisia. It is shaped like a lady's spiked high heeled boot. The capital of Italy is the beautiful city of Rome. Languages spoken in Italy were and still are Italian. The main religion is Roman Catholic. Italy was well equipped with mountains. Rivers such as the Arno, Cecing, and Orabrone all flowed throughout this country into The Tyrrhenian Sea. However, these rivers were not yet named. The climate was rather mild in most areas, except in the south where it was hot and dry. Rainfall was very moderate, and kept crops well grown. The natural resources during this time were fish and marble. Agricultural products were wheat, wine grapes, olives, tobacco, and corn. Italy has become a very unique and beautiful country and The Renaissance has taken a great responisibility in this beauty.

High knee boots were the main shoe that was worn by men. Other accessories such as jewelry and cologne were not yet worn by the men, except for the wealthy Kings and princes.

Horse carriages and coaches were available during The Renaissance, which became one of the prime sources of travel. The body of the carriage was constructed of a light wood frame, and the wheels were very light. The horse was very well trained before they were used as transportation. Coaches were designed later on during The Renaissance and had a great effect. The horse played a very important role during this era, not only with transportation, but with The Arts and game as well.
