Our first impression is that overall the appearance is nore slender and natural. In the 1770'ss, for the first time a collar is added to the coat. The coat fits the body neatly. Pockets move up on the coat throughout the period.
Flaps are moderate in size.
From 1760, breeches are invariably fastened over white stockings. They fit tightly and are just long enoughto cover the kneecap. Sometimes the calf is padded to make the leg shapely. Embroidered ribbon braces are introduced in order to hold the breeches neatly in place. Stocks are added to shirts, which are decorated with ruffles of lace.
