Gothic dress complete with a big hat and a long coat, knee-length breeches, shoes with a clasp on the knees or boots with a bucket. The peasants wore ordinary fabrics in the form of coarse dresses and tunic dresses, and they were barefoot because they had to work in the field or in dirty water. The women also dressed just like the men and they were also barefoot. Of course, they wore belts so that their long skirts would not be pulled to the ground.

They came in the form of dark velvet, dark openwork nets, dark lace, dark gloves and scarlet dark leather. In the early 1980s, this fashion reappeared in England.
