]]> According to the study, in the first half of the 18th century, the young people of Madrid preferred to wear French-style dress, i.e. a jacket, jacket and breeches. On the other hand, Spanish dress was relegated to a much smaller number; 26 as opposed to 9 references to clothing. The French influence in Spain on a cultural level took off with the change of power on the Spanish throne after the War of the Spanish Succession. The French style also included the characteristic accessories of Versailles, such as fine hats with silver ribbons, hairpieces and their own dresses. However, the quality and composition of Spanish clothing was still of a higher quality. From the Notarial Protocols studied, all the imported French dresses were of poorer quality than the Spanish or English ones. Thus, the fine cloth dress from Segobia, lined in black serge, was valued at 240 reales; and the military dress with jacket, jacket and two pairs of fine cloth breeches from England was valued at 480.
