2025 Red Velvet Seasons Greetings

Warnings: English is my third language, also I'm not a historian, so there may be some missing or incomplete facts. All I can promise is that I tried my best.

As a big Anne Boleyn simp (yes, I'm a basic  bitch judge me however you want) I read a lot of books and articles about her and one thing that always comes up is the fact that Anne brought french fashion to the English court.

This led me to ask myself "what the fuck was French fashion?"

"Oh Danni, you silly little hoe. They mean French hood!" Some of you might answer and you wouldn't be wrong or at least not completely wrong 'cause yes I'm a silly little hoe and French hoods were obviously part of the fashion but they weren't the only trend at the time. So I started searching for answers. Google search brought bigger nothing than my existence to humanity so I had to go a little deeper and make my own conclusions.

English fashion:

•darker colors- Black and red combination was especially popular

• heavy embroidery

• Furs (it was a cold period thanks to the Little Ice Age)

• Popular fabrics: Cotton, wool, linen, velvet, silk

• Gable hood

French fashion:

• Lighter almost pastel colors, black was   mostly combined with white

• neckline or should I say shoulder line is a bit lower

• Not so heavy embroidery or no at all

• Popular fabrics: Silk, Satin, velvet

• Influenced by Italian and German Fashion

• French hood

There's a misconception that it was Anne Boleyn who brought French hoods to England. That's not true (that's why I called misconception, duh) it was Henry's sister Mary who brought it to England, Anne just popularised it. From the begging, French fashion was a controversial subject in an English court, many saw it as indecent. The French hood caused the most heated discussions because of the "Immoral" amount of hair it was showing.

One of my favorite movies Anne of the Thousand Days utilized these facts perfectly in its costuming. Catalina de Aragon is shown wearing the old style, she's an established figure in her court there's no need for her to experiment or find a new style (even though she wears a French hood in the movie, in real life Catalina wore it only a few times). Anne o the other hand is young, she is like a breath of fresh air, and she wears what she wants not carrying about what others may think of her.

This changes during her trial when she switches to the English style to appear more seriously.

So that's it for now I guess
