Your wardrobe showed everyone else if you had power. Peasants would only have one or two outfits, clothes would be dirty and very rugged. The upper class had many outfits, and they were always clean. The wealthy men would wear a combination of tights or stockings in many different colors, with a shirt and a doublet, which is kind of like a coat/cardigan with a hat. Women wore long, high waisted dressed that had big, long and poofy sleeves with a bunch of gold (expensive) jewelry.
(Notes) -
The man, (father/husband) was in charge of everything. The wife had no share or control over their money.

The 95 Theses nailed on the wall of Wittenberg. Martin Luther wrote his 95 theses in protest against the selling of indulgences. A little piece of paper that people would buy for themselves or a love one that would help them skip purgatory after they died, and they would go to Heaven quicker. Luther believed that you didn’t need an indulgence to promise your way into heaven. The only way to do so would be to repent for your sins every day, rather than just having a piece of paper do it for you.
