One man’s humiliation is another man’s hot new spring look.Standing collars began appearing on both shirts and undershirts in the mid-1400s. Lorraine notes, “This continues into the extreme in the 16th-century with the evolution of the neck ruff,” a collar that’s unattached to the shirt and that you might recognize as the thing you think of when you think of an overwrought historical collar.“Sup?”The ruff in the 1500s just like wearing a $10,000 watch today: unnecessary fashion that displayed your status (although the ruff was probably harder to steal). The ruff revolution happened thanks to new advances in starch, which is used to give clothing crisp lines. In 1564, a starch-savvy Flemish woman named Mistress Dinghen van der Plasse fled Flanders for London, and brought with her a starch recipe that was far superior to anything being used in England at the time. (Just like a good glass of water or urine, van der Plasse’s starch was clear and granule-free.) That’s when the ruff really took off.s Ian Mortimer wrote in The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England, “At the height of the craze, in the 1580s and 1590s, ruffs are made up of up to six yards of starched material, with up to 600 pleats in them, extending eight inches or more from the neck.”

But not everybody appreciated the new look; an 1890 issue of Magazine of American History has this quote from John Stowe, writing around 1585: “The fashion in London was called the French fashion; but when Englishmen came to Paris the French knew not the fashion, and in derision called it the English monster.” (Side note: Somewhere, right now, a man is calling his dick “the English monster.”)Ruff madness didn’t last terribly long; ruffs were difficult and expensive to maintain, even if they did give 1600s dudes that hot cone-dog look. The cravat — the precursor to the necktie, basically — came into fashion, and collars calmed the eff down. Lorraine points out that the change…
