Daniel BellingradtBring back bloomers, boomers and zoomers! Like this #earlymodern well-dressed man in 1581. What's holding you back?
The image is from a pamphlet critizing such well-dressed man in the 1580s. The title was "Wider den Kleyder Pluder Pausz vnd Krausz Teuffel" (VD16 ZV 23397). #skystorians
#FashionHistory for the win.
Strong MC Hammer vibes with the trousers!

Just read that MC Hammer called his trousers style “Hammer pants”, but I would call them bloomers, or baggy, or else? Who is a fashion expert for the 1580s? #skystorians
