The English Sumptuary Law of 1363
The sumptuary legislation passed in 1363 included the following:

• Women were, in general, to be dressed according to the position of their fathers or husbands
• Wives and daughters of servants were not to wear veils above twelve pence in value
• Handicraftsmen's and yeomen's wives were not to wear silk veils
• The use of fur was confined to the ladies of knights with a rental above 200 marks a year
• The wife or daughter of a knight was not to wear cloth of gold or sable fur
• The wife or daughter of a knight-bachelor not to wear velvet
• The wife or daughter of an esquire or gentleman not to wear velvet, satin or ermine
• The wife or daughter of a labourer were not to wear clothes beyond a certain price or a girdle garnished with silver
• Cloth of gold and purple silk were confined to women of the royal family
• The importation of silk and lace by Lombards and other foreigners were forbidden

These Sumptuary Laws distinguished seven social categories and made members of each class easily distinguished by their clothing.
