Legend: Costume of 15-16th th Century France, Headgear, Accessories, Mantle, Belts etc.: WHILE THE TRADITIONS OF THE MIDDLE AGES persisted through the 15th and 16th centuries so far as women's costume was concerned, men's  costume changed radically. This was mainly the result of Italian influences following Charles Vlll's expedition to Italy. Some experts think that this   was the most gracious and elegant of all the different ages of costume in France. Order of figures: 1  2  3  4  5  6   8   9 10  11  12  13  14 Fig. 1.
