In medieval times, colors were strictly regulated, with only royalty and nobility allowed to wear vibrant hues like purple and red. Women's hair was also heavily restricted, with married women required to cover their heads and unmarried girls allowed to show off their locks. The waistline was also a matter of social status, with tight-fitting gowns and cinched belts signifying wealth and virtue. These fashion rules were not just about aesthetics, but also about maintaining social hierarchy and moral standards. The strict dress codes were enforced through sumptuary laws, which dictated what colors, fabrics, and styles were acceptable for different classes and professions.
