[anne-the-quene]

In England the women go to market for household provisions; if gentlewomen, they are preceded by two men servants. Their usual vesture is a cloth petticoat over the shift, lined with grey squirrel's or some other fur; over the petticoat they wear a long gown lined with some choice fur. The gentlewomen carry the train of their gown under the arm; the commonalty pin it behind or before, or at one side. The sleeves of the gowns sit as close as possible; are long, and unslashed throughout, the cuffs being lined with some choice fur. Their head gear is of various sorts of velvet, cap fashion, with lappets (coste) hanging down behind over their shoulders like two hoods; and in front they have two others, lined with some other silk. Their hair is not seen, so is unable to say whether it be light or dark. Others wear on their heads muslins, which are distended, and hang at their backs, but not far down. Some draw their hair from under a kerchief, and wear over the hair a cap, for the most part white, round, and seemly; others again wear a kerchief in folds on the head: but be the fashion as it may, the hair is never seen. Their stockings are black and their shoes doubly soled, of various colours, but no one wears “choppines,” as they are not in use in England. When they meet friends in the street, they shake hands, and kiss on the mouth, and go to some tavern to regale, their relatives not taking this amiss, as such is the custom. The women are very beautiful and good tempered.

The Art of Elegance: Fashion Edition

Cultivating elegance allows us to exude grace and sophistication in various aspects of life.

Elegance starts with the way we present ourselves to the world. Here is how I want to start cultivating elegance in my fashion choices:

Embrace timeless pieces: Opt for classic, well-tailored garments that stand the test of time rather than chasing fleeting trends. I honestly do not like a lot of the trends we see nowadays. I have been watching YouTubers like Anna Bey, Lisa Glamour, and Freddy My Love to create my own personal style.

Quality over quantity: Invest in high-quality fabrics and well-crafted pieces that showcase attention to detail and craftsmanship. So that would include cotton, linen, silk (or great quality satin), and etc.

Opt for understated sophistication: Choose refined colors, clean lines, and subtle embellishments that exude sophistication and elegance. I want to invest in some nice jewelry like pearls and gold pieces. Neon colors is a no no. I honestly do not like animal print even though it could be elegant depending on the item.
