Source text - English Clothing played a large role in Renaissance society, as clothing in the Renaissance was all about defining and showing off one's social status.
Germanic, Italian and French fashions heavily influenced the rest of Europe in the period.
Clothing was one of the main ways that the wealthy displayed their wealth to the world, and so it was the wealthy that set the fashions and trends that were to be followed.
Because of the great difference in wealth and class in Renaissance Europe there are several different fashions, ranging from what the wealthiest would wear to what peasants might wear.
Because of the ever-changing times of the Renaissance, fashions also changed more rapidly in this era than in eras before it.
The wealthy displayed their wealth by wearing expensive fabrics such as silk, brocade, velvet, and cotton (Cotton was at this time in history kind of hard to come by in and was thus a 'wealthy' fabric).
Furs were also popular among those who could afford them, and oftentimes furs were used by the wealthy as lining on the inside of their garments.
Darker colors were the fashion as elaborate embroidery and jewels were often sewn into the fabrics, and dark colors were able to show those features off more.
For the wealthy, style was much more important than function.
Translation - Italian L'abbigliamento giocava un grande ruolo nella società rinascimentale in quanto esso, nel Rinascimento, aveva la principale funzione di definire e mostrare lo status sociale di una persona.
Le mode germaniche, italiane e francesi influenzavano pesantemente il resto dell'Europa del periodo.
Per il ricco, l'abbigliamento era una delle maniere principali di mostrare al mondo la sua ricchezza ed era quindi il ricco a stabilire le mode e le tendenze che dovevano essere seguite.
A ragione della grande disparità nella ricchezza e tra le classi sociali dell'Europa rinascimentale, esistevano tante mode differenti che andavano da ciò che indossavano i ricchi a ciò che indossavano i contadini.
Per via dei tempi in continuo cambiamento del Rinascimento, le mode si modificavano più rapidamente in quest'epoca rispetto a quelle precedenti.
Il ricco rendeva manifesta la sua ricchezza indossando tessuti costosi come la seta, il broccato, il velluto e il cotone (In questo momento storico il cotone era difficile da reperire ed era quindi un tessuto prezioso).
Anche le pellicce erano popolari tra chi poteva permettersele e spesso queste erano utilizzate dai ricchi come rivestimento interno dei loro indumenti.
I colori più scuri erano di moda in quanto nelle fabbriche venivano spesso cuciti ricami elaborati e gioielli, e i colori scuri erano in grado di conferire maggior risalto a quei dettagli.
Per il ricco, lo stile era molto più importante della funzione.
