In the mid 1500’s the style of clothing was very different then what it is today. The girls of the story, both the Montague’s and the Capulet’s wore long dresses that reached their toes, nice and straight forward no puffiness. They had shiny stones on them to shine and show the dresses beauty. The girls usually had something on their hair, not to keep it completely up, a lot of it was down, but it kept a couple of strands of hair in it. The usual hair utensils are shiny and small but big enough to be recognized. They whore small flats to walk around more swiftly. The guys of the both houses wore tights that covered their whole legs. Then they wore some flat shoes that would cover some of the tights. Then they had a shirt with a nice jacket on top of it. The jacket was tight, and very shiny, it seemed so royal when looking at it. The men also sometimes wore a small hat to compliment what they where wearing.

You see, in that time, what people wore where very important; all they cared about was how they looked. They made sure everything matched; they made sure everything complemented each other. The hair materials matched the shoes and the top clothing matched the bottom. Then the diamonds or shiny utensils were used to make them look more flawless. The two households always wanted to look better then each other, so they used more jewelry to show their royalty. They where very competitive and always wanted to look better then each other. And you thought our generation was obsessed with fashion?
