(Czech)
In the 16th C. on, townswomen and peasants wore aprons over shifts and
skirts (catrinte, fota, and vilnic) in addition
to shawls or mantles (csucha).
Kabats
or dolmans, mid 15th C.
In 16th- 17 century
nobleman and their minions dressed colorfully in light blue , saffron,
green, red. Men wore jacket 'dolman' often decorated with embroidery
of silver or gold thread.
Peasants
typically wore a simple outerwear of (usually sheep) skin unsheared ,
however this was very durable and effective against foul weather.
Herdsman and other peasants for footwear
was typically constructed of one part leather that came to a
point (gurgui ) or round-toed slipper-like shoes (kapca ), characteristic
cloth -fustian and linen (fusta and linje ) and wool (icar ) or linen
cullots or nickers (“izmene”
).
Carpathian areas of Wallachia
and Transylvania , as well as eastern parts of Moldavia and Bessarabie,
had many variants for coats and jackets. Some were out of sheepskin fur as
vests (burnuz and keptar ) or the same with sleeves (burke, gube ) out of
stout felt (szur ), or out of thick wool (habanitsa) or shaggy frieze wool
cloth (guba ). With respect to severe winters within carpathian areas men
typically wore a heavy wool mantle (gugla ) with additional garments. One
item universally associated with the Hungarian warrior is a wool overcoat,
lined with welted leather or fur in winter. Wool coats were of several
cuts , several shapes of sleeves , and went by various names (contesul,
contos, chintes, chintus, kontesh, kontos, suba).
However wool might make practical & functional as well as rich
fabrics , the latter of which were made garments including czamara,
delia, fereaua, feiageaua (frezya) , mantaua,
suba which graced wealthier men. These
items in general were worn with other garments like for example with
typical caftans (caftanul , habanitsa ) or garments out of richly
decorated expensive fabrics ( pancar (pants), szoknya, dolman, mente ,
guibeaua).
Women's
headdress was a wrapped or shapped bonnet or coif (kapuriac, merame/neframe)
or even stiffened with layers of felt or wood and decorated in trim, beads
or embroidery (krype, parta).
Hajducs,
( soldiers of Stephan Báthory of Transylvania ), are also seen in
kaftans or within dolmans underneath caftans with short sleeves , both
reaching about knees or folded up to expose the knees (to make walking
easier). These typically had small flat caps.
Wallachian
soldiers had similar garments, differing solely in the greater width of
the collar of the dolman laying over the outer caftan and also with a
characteristic highly tapered fur cap.
In
16th C Paintings we can see typical national garments from1520s
king Lájose Hungary and Mary Habsburg , within whom there is noticeable
influence of Western European fashion.

Under this is a linen shirt of fine and distinct cut and delicate silver
embroidery of the stock and sleeves.

In 16th- 17th century nobleman as
well as their retainers wore blue , saffron, green , and red. Men wore a
coat (dolman ) with sleeves which had a slit so that the arms and hands
can be out in warm weather and covered in cold.
Fig
12 Often as well the coat (dolman ) had pleated sleeves
, through which one could see a decorated shirt with needlework of silver
and gold thread. Underneath this shirt there may be a plain undecorated
undershirt. Often ornamentation included lace. Overcoat was
often the mente. Shirts
were often decorated with needlework and various
ornamentation as well as lace. On the outside, a Mente jacket.
Fig 15. This
garment was by tradition worn by Gábor
Bethlen for his wedding. A mente out of Italian velvet embroidered
with Silver and gold needlework. Within mantle as well as
jacket was sewn rich decorations of silk twine to serve for fasteners (passamentre
buttons). Additional adornment of rich semi-precious stone or
silver studs.
Fig 14 Eastern
style hat colpak or "suveg“ with
feather of mostly eagle or heron.
Belts
were adorned with silver inlaid leather waistband or
net-like out of cord. Due to Turkish influence men wore boots with high knees.
Called 'Čižmy' these were also worn by women and youths Color was in general bright red or saffron. Spurs
were worn with boots.
Common
people wore krpce, (soft slipper-like shoes).
Wigs were not adopted as they generally were
within western Europe. Men wore mustaches.
In
the 16th century ladies' saty
(dresses) were made out of rich embroidered silk fabric or out of
embroidered velvet paisley with silver or gold thread. Ladies wore
garments fastened at the neck
and what as well as within range , when European fashion was to hide décolleté.
Hungarian married women wore indoors gathered gowns of silk or local style pinafore (apron-like outer garment) , with
which might , however did not have to subsist attachments high share ,
which was actually bodice without sleeves , held together with cords. (that is, the edges of the saty were connected by a
cord, revealing a characteristic ‘V’ of the underlying shirt, coming
to a point and meeting at the waist.) Underneath the bodice one sees an
outerwear shirt (that is, a ‘soft’ garment intended to be worn
visibly, rather than the more typical soft garments which are underwear)
with voluminous gathers, and richly decorated sleeves and collars.
Underneath the shirt was a subsequent underwear shirt.
Ladies footwear
was underneath dress and so not much seen. In 16th century wore shoes
with wooden internal structure and built-up heel.
 In the 17th
century high wooden heels and wide boots were popular. Unmarried maidens wore hair wrapped in
rich decoration in a style called "párta“ –
15
16 17 18 14 inspired by Medieval dress ; high extra decorated swath fabric
arranged in the shape of a crown (bordered with lace?). Married women
covered their hair with bonnets. Dresses or gowns could be quite costly
due to application of many rich cameos, pearls, gold or gems. A garment of
duchess Ference Rákocziho was richly decorated with 150 pearls .
The red dress with 12 pearls of Ilona Zrínyi was used to pay for
the purchase of an entire village. Of course such wear was not just a
fashion excess because it lent prestige to the family.
In
this time, the typical Hungarian man’s dress consisted of dolmán ( well
lined coat ), coat with short sleeves , ornamented sleeves of shirt ,
tight cullotes (breeches) with buttons on legs , tight cullotes similar to
hose, shoes , mente (jacket) cape
of skin out of tiger , leopard or wolf , fur
cap with rosette and feathers
 Substantive
elements of female fashion were : under
the overcoat a shirt with gathered sleeves ( embroidered or decorated with
beads ), nicely lined, usually
decorated waistcoat , long gathered skirts with lace or velvety piping and
pinafore also decorated with lace or needlework. Women also wore mantles ,
fur jackets and richly decorated bonnets. Girls uncovered their hair,
however had it bound in a ‘párta’ headdress. Lower and higher stratum
societies wore similar clothing , variance was within quality of fabrics
and workmanship. Much attention was given to presentation of harmonious
adornment. Black was for the Hungarians
mostly reserved for mourning clothing, brighter colors were the fashion
for ladies clothing.  
Generalizing
from available evidence....
Images
in Paintings in museums make it is clear that Hungarians tended toward
fitness and slim build. Hungarians invested their military man-at-arms
with great importance, respecting his protection, justice and purity.
