How did the French Revolution end all distinctions imposed by the sumptuary laws?
1. The French revolution ended to all the distinctions. Members of Jacobin Club even called themselves the ‘sans culottes’ to distinguish themselves from the aristocracy who wore the fashionable knee breeches.
2. From now on both men and women began wearing clothing that was loose and comfortable.
3. The colours of France-blue, white and red-became popular as they were a sign of the patriotic citizen.
4. Other political symbols too become a part of dress: the red cap of liberty, long trousers and the revolutionary cockade pinned on a hat. 6
