As for the history of fashion in the 17th century, as well as earlier periods, it is very difficult to accurately date the changes in fashion according to the age-old epoch. All of them are obtained due to the influence of the traditional outfits of various European nations on the costumes of neighboring countries. So, Spain became famous for strict suits and tightly closed collars, Venice - lush dresses and shoes with incredibly high heels , England - dresses that emphasize the beauty of the female body, long plumes and corsets, which were a real piece of sewing art. Women's fashion of the 17th century is artful and suspicious. Changes in costumes during this period are rapid and bright.
Russian fashion in the 17th century
History says that Russia's relations with Europe only began to develop in the 17th century, but the fashion trends of the European dress are already gradually affecting the outfits of the Russian nobility. So, the first bright influence on the Russian outfit can be seen in the business suit of the boyars. Kaftan became shorter, in the manner of Polish. Such changes were due to the fact that the short coat is more convenient to work with. Foreign merchants and diplomats are constantly visiting Russia, while dressing in costumes for the fashion of their country. Under Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich foreign costumes among the Russian nobility were worn "for entertainment" and participation in various evenings and amusements. But, however that may be, shortly before his death, Alexei Mikhailovich issued a decree that forbade the adoption of hair styles and style from Europe. The final Europeanization of the Russian costume was carried out by Peter I. Until then, traditional Russian clothes were served by traditional Russian caftans, fagots, shirts, shirts, sarafans, fur coats. There were several varieties of caftan. Only the length remained unchanged-to the knee.
Fashion 17 century in Russia is not much different from the same 16 century. And already since the 18th century, changes under the influence of European culture have become irreversible.
