Lower Class Fashion
No no! Not all servants during the Elizabethan Era wore rags and ate the scraps off the table! Though servants had to have certain contracts signed with their masters, they still had some freedom, especially with fashion. If you took the nobleman's livery, you became his follower (Leed).
It benefitted the masters to have their servants dressed well. They were never dressed in rags. In addition, the nobleman provided livery for his servants in both summer and winter weights, occasionally in the various different shades of colors (Leed).
