Answer 2

all of the puritans wore dark clothing, mostly black and dark brown and dark gray. It was called "homespun" material, rough and heavy. The men wore trousers with black boots and silver buckles on the boots and belts. They wore white linen shirts underneath, with the large white collars showing. The men also wore large black hats with the same type of silver buckle on it as well. The women wore black, long-sleeved dresses, with the same white linen collars and white aprons were often worn too. White or black hats were worn with their hair pinned and tucked inside those hats. The children also wore the dark homespun clothes, the girls wore shorter versions of their mom's dresses, with heavy dark stockings and black shoes. The same with the caps or hats too. The boys wore the same thing as their dads.

Of course, this was their Sunday-meeting finery................
