1500-1550 in fashion
Fashion in the period 1500-1550 in Western Europe is marked by voluminous clothing worn in an abundance of layers (one reaction to the cooling termperatures of the Little Ice Age, especially in Northern Europe and the British Isles). Contrasting fabrics, slashes, embroidery, applied trims, and other forms of surface ornamentation became prominent.
