Legend: Europe of the Middle Ages - 15 and 16th Century : WHILE THE TRADITIONS OF THE MIDDLE AGES persisted through the 15th and 16th centuries so far as women's costume was concerned, men's costume changed radically. This was mainly the result of Italian influences following Charles Vlll's expedition to Italy. Some experts think that this was the most gracious and elegant of all the different ages of costume in France. ORDER OF FIGURES: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 One striking change was that the doublet no longer had a collar, so that the top of the shirt could be seen. To compensate, the turned-down collars of coats and gowns became longer and longer, until they extended almost to the middle of the back. When a ceremonial coat was not worn, it was replaced by a collarless cape, put on over the doublet and left open at the front. Men's headgear consisted of toques and bicoquets, worn separately or one on top of one another, and various types of bonnet. Many of the hats are worn over a decorative bicoquet and attached with long ribbons. Metal clasps and heavy necklaces were favoured by the French nobility at the end of the 15th century, in one of the last vestiges of the Flemish influence that had originated with the Count of Burgundy. They were soon to be seen less often, however, as Italian styles gained in popularity. Some Flemish styles were to be seen in French women's headdress, as well, and two are shown opposite. That in 5 consists of a hat adorned with a jewel, while in 7 the headdress consists of a metal frame to which a muslin veil has been attached. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
