English Clothing in the 1620s: Not What You Think

Content: For example, men always wore breeches; women always wore petticoats. Only women wore stays. Other clothes, however, were worn by both men and women. Everyone wore stockings to cover their legs. The stockings came up over their knees and were tied with garters to keep them up. Everyone wore leather shoes or sturdy boots on their feet. Everyone wore aprons to help keep their clothes clean. Women’s aprons were long like their petticoats. Their aprons were made of linen or wool.
