Example of the Cavalier style of clothing. The name Cavalier originally related to political and social attitudes and behaviour, of which clothing was a very small part, but it has subsequently become strongly identified with the fashionable clothing of the court at the time for supporters of King Charles I and his son Charles II during the English Civil War, the Interregnum, and the Restoration (1642 – c. 1679).
