Macaroni Fashion, 1774

Entitled: What is this my son Tom shows farmer with son who has large, elaborate hairstyle and stylish clothes. Macaroni (or maccaroni), from the Italian word, maccherone, which literally means a boorish fool, described the height, and often the extremes, of male fashion in the mid 1700's. Brought from the continent by young men on their Grand Tour, macaroni dress took the standard male wardrobe to absurd lengths. Coats were tight. Huge buttons decorated short waistcoats. Narrow, dainty shoes sported buckles almost larger than they were. And copious amounts of lace, ribbon, ruffles and whatever other outrageous decoration took the wearer's fancy trimmed the outfits, with everything in gaudy colours and showy fabrics like silks and satins. The most obvious feature of macaroni fashion was the wig. They were excessively elaborate and tall, and often crowned with a tiny hat that could be removed only with the point of a sword. Published by R. Sayer.
