Johnson CollectionToward the end of the Middle Ages, when clothing became rather closely fitted, the shirt gradually increased in importance. During the 14th century, shirts worn by the Normans developed a neckband and cuffs. By the end of the 15th century, shirts were made in a variety of fabrics, such as wool, linen, and sometimes silk, for royalty.Shirts began to be embellished with embroidery, lace, and frills in the 16th century, and men’s outer garments—the doublet, or jacket—had a low neckline so that the shirt showed across the chest. By the end of that century, the shirt frill had developed into the ruff, which was a mark of the aristocracy. A law, in fact, was passed in England that forbade persons without social rank from wearing elaborately decorated shirts. At the beginning of the 17th century, the doublet had become so short that the ruffled shirt was visible between it and the breeches. The new style of men’s dress initiated in 1666, when Charles II of England adopted the long waistcoat, however, covered up most of the shirt.
