In the Elizabethan Era, men were required to wear several layers of clothing similar to how women wore their dresses. “Unlike today, the amount of clothing a man was required to wear included several layers. The following pieces were all underclothes a man would wear daily", resembling their dignity and power for their society, stated the Fashion and Beauty article. Stockings or Hoses, codpieces, and shirts are underclothes used in the Elizabethan era. Stockings or hoses were always worn by common men in the Elizabethan era, and worn them footed and pulled around their waist. Doublets, Trousers/Breeches, Ruffs, and Hats are all worn over their clothes. The most common clothing worn over their underclothes was breeches. Common men would wear their breeches "at the knee, just below the knee, or mid-calf", stated Fashion and Beauty article.

Not only did men wear their clothes as a resemblance of pride, but also to show their status in the society. The Fashion and Beauty article states "The upper class was the only one with access to velvets, satin, furs, cottons, taffeta, lace, and other 'rare' fabrics", while the poor was not, wearing dull colors. Clothing quality easily determined a man's class for it shows who could afford the expensive cloths and bright colors. For example, the eldest son of a knight was allowed to wear velvet colors for underclothes, while the young could not. No one below the rank of a knight was allowed to wear silk clothing as well as gold, for it was only worn by barons and other high rankings.

In the Elizabethan Era, upper class women's clothing were determined by the law, role in society, and budget. The attire of women became progressively more complex over the years because in the "1597 Proclamation went into minute detail", which is stated in the Elizabethan Royalty Era article. For example, the wealthy purchased jewelry with valuable gemstones. Queens, expected to wear fine garments, wore corsets to appear petite for the public and paintings. Furthermore, the amount of layers worn by women can vary from eight or more layers, depending on the season. Shoes made of leather or velvet, were often hidden under the lengthy gowns.

The role and budget of the women determined their attire, which included the thickness of the fabric and color. The wealthy, like the queen, wore "...a rich deep red colored robe, heavily embroidered kirtle with sleeves in gold”, according to the Elizabethan Royalty Era article. Which symbolized the abundant amount of money that could be spent on her attire. Also, being in the royal family allowed the ownership of robes, which were unavailable to the common folk. Using bright colors for clothing often sold for a high price.
