Clothing regulations

Japanese: 服飾規制 - ふくしょくきせい

In the general sense, clothing regulations, such as uniforms for guilds and schools, and formal attire for ceremonies and at the Imperial Court, exist in both the East and the West and throughout history. However, when we look at Europe, the relationship between clothing and the class system became more strongly recognized, and clothing in everyday life became subject to detailed regulations mainly during the 14th to 18th centuries, when the medieval class system began to loosen. These regulations are usually at the heart of the various laws collectively known as sumptuary laws.

Japanese:

ギルドや学校における制服，式典や宮中における礼服など，一般的な意味での服飾規定は洋の東西や時代を問わず存在する。しかしこれをヨーロッパにおいて見てみると，服飾と身分制秩序とのかかわり合いが強く意識され，日常生活の服飾が細かく規制されたのは，中世的な身分制秩序が弛緩しはじめた主として14～18世紀である。ふつう，こうした規制は〈奢侈（しやし）禁止法(ぜいたく禁止法)sumptuary law〉として一括される諸法の中心をなしている。
