1649 - 1660
PURITAN INFLUENCE
After King Charles I was executed in 1649, England became a republic called the Commonwealth, with Oliver Cromwell at its head.
Cromwell, a Protestant and a Puritan, believed that people should lead pious lives and dress in a plain and practical way.
His opponents, the Royalists, supported a return to the monarchy and wore elaborate clothing inspired by French fashion.
Cromwell's Puritans based their dress on Dutch traditions, since the Dutch United Provinces (now the Netherlands) was a strongly Protestant country as well as a wealthy, influential one.
Many style features associated with his period -- such as linen collars covering the shoulders and the widespread popularity of black -- are Dutch in origin.
Dark clothes with little or no decoration were favored.
English Puritans, a branch of Protestants, established a colony in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in what is now the US, in 1620 that would influence all aspects of American culture, including fashion.
MILITARY DRESS
The English Civil War, from 1642 to 1651, came with a new style military dress.
Parliamentarian Colonel Hutchinson appeared in the English House of Commons in "a habit which was pretty rich but grave" (a dark doublet decorated with gold and silver points), but ordinary soldiers wore plainer clothies.
Buff-colored leather coats were worn by Cromwell's New Model Army and by those involved in conflicts in Europe.

教徒影响
1649年查尔斯一世被处决之后，英国成为联邦共和国，奥利弗克伦威尔是它的元首。
克伦威尔，一位新教徒也是清教徒，相信人们应当以平凡实际的方式去遵循虔诚的生活与穿着。
他的对手们，保皇党，支持君主制回归并且穿着以法国时尚为灵感的精致服饰。
克伦威尔的清教徒风格，基于他身着的荷兰传统服饰，因为荷兰联合州（现在荷兰）是一个强大的新教国家，同时也极具影响力。
许多风格特征与他在位的时代相关，例如覆盖肩膀的亚麻领与黑色的广泛流行，都起源自荷兰。
少量或没有装饰的深色服饰受到青睐。
英国清教徒是新教徒的一个分支，1620年在普利茅斯建立了一个殖民地，就是现在美国的马赛诸塞州，它影响了美国文化的方方面面，包括时尚。
军用服饰
英国内战，1642年到1651年，出现了一种新式的军用服装。
议会上校哈奇森出现在英国下议院，被评价是“穿着喜好相当丰富但严肃“（一款金银装饰的神色上衣夹克），而普通士兵穿着更平淡。
色彩浓烈的皮外套是克伦威尔的新模范军，同时穿着他们参与了欧洲军事冲突。
