#30: Pilgrims’ Colorful Attire
Contrary to popular belief, Pilgrims’ attire wasn’t solely confined to black and white hues, as often depicted in popular culture. In reality, their clothing reflected the late Elizabethan fashion trends, showcasing a diverse palette of colors.
The misconception of their attire being all-black might stem from confusion with the Puritan settlers, who arrived around the same period and were known for their somber clothing choices. However, the Pilgrims’ garments were more varied and stylish, reflecting the broader fashion sensibilities of the time rather than adhering strictly to monochromatic tones.
