A new king, who wasn’t English (James the First was Scottish), and the
style was decidedly different. The 16th century had been dominated by Spanish
influence; in the 17th century, the influence was French. The style for men was
longer hair, lace and frills around the knees, bucket boots sometimes to the
waist, sometimes pushed down; the Van Dyck beard says it all. Women dropped
their necklines, narrowed their sleeves and bared their arms to the elbow,
showed their hair. The Puritans, with their short hair and plain clothes, looked
chic without intending to.
