Social barriers were crumbling, and this showed in fashion. Elegance was the
goal. His fancy huge cuffs were proof that the wearer was a gentleman; he
couldn’t work in such garb. When George III came to the throne (he who lost
the American colonies), he was the youngest monarch since Elizabeth, and the
general style became younger. As he grew older, coiffures became larger, and
some of the decorations—fruits, feathers, sculptural ornaments like
ships—made such cozy nests for rodents and vermin that they were eventually
banned.
