Description
An informative and interesting book that reveals the complex messages that Stuart fashion conveyed about the personalities of individual rulers and about Stuart royalty in general This is the first detailed analysis of elite menswear in 17th century Scotland and its influence on English men's fashion.
It focuses on the years 1566 to 1701, looking at the clothing choices of five Stuart kings: James VI and I, Prince Henry, Charles I, Charles II and James VII and II. The captivating text is full of details about the wardrobe and habits of the Scottish royal family, such as how the men chose fabrics and kept clothes clean. The book is organised around three themes: the importance of the Stuarts' Scottish heritage in the style they developed; the role of the Scots in exporting their style to London and beyond; and the reception of the Stuart style among the male elite in Scotland. Maria Hayward examines how the Stuart style was displayed in sport, at political and social events, and in church. The book also highlights the importance of key ancillary players - namely the courtiers who helped kings and princes develop their style, and the tailors who passed it on to men outside the royal court.
