 Clothing Around the 1490's is when costume historians can agree that the new dress for Renaissance began. This was the period of clothing that could be said that excessiveness in all areas of costume began. Different countries took the news styles differently. For instance, the northern European countries were changing the natural figure by adding pads to sleeves, doublets, and stockings. Italy did not go as far as the North, the fashion for the Italian culture, for men, was to wear of the noble classes for men was to wear a doublet, a fitting jacket that usually has lining of golden thread. Also with this doublet is a broken sleeve and in addition is a codpiece which is located around the groin area. To add onto their fashion they mostly wear a hose (tights) with long legged boots. The fashion for the ladies is to wear a velvet dress.  England and France followed Italy's lead while they stuck to more medieval inclined styles. Germans went to the greatest extremes making “improvements” on the natural profile. They put large puffs at the head, shoulders, and thighs. They very small puffs, like boils, over the chest, back, arms, legs and feet. They put feathers on everything from wide-brimmed hats to the knees. Clothing at this time followed suit with all other types of creative expression at this time—it went over the top into new discoveries.    //Materials //. Web. 18 Jan. 2010. .
