EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the early 17th century, showcasing the elegant and ornate attire of French Cavaliers. Dressed in the height of fashion from this era, these men exude an air of sophistication and grandeur. Their costumes consist of intricately designed doublets, which were fitted jackets with padded shoulders and narrow waists. The doublets are accentuated by ruffs, which were large collars that framed the neck and were often adorned with lace or lace-like fabric. The trunk hose, which were tight-fitting breeches, were worn underneath the doublets and were held up by garters. Capes, made of rich velvet or brocade, were an essential part of the cavalier's attire, draped over one shoulder and secured with a brooch or clasp. Cocked hats, topped with plumes of feathers, completed their headgear. These hats were often tipped forward, giving the cavaliers a distinctive and dashing look. The cavaliers' boots were another striking feature of their outfit. Reaching above the knees, they had tabbed tops that laced up to the thigh. Spurs were attached to the heels, indicating their readiness for horseback riding. This image offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French Cavaliers during the early 17th century, a time of grandeur, luxury, and refinement. The intricate details of their costumes serve as a testament to the importance of fashion and the role it played in expressing one's social status and identity during this period.
