Florentine particolored hose, c. 1470
)
Sir Walter Raleigh in paned trunk hose and cannions, and his son in loose slops, 1602.
Early hose were fitted to the leg, and fifteenth century hose were often particolored, having each leg a different color, or even one leg made of two colors. These early hose were footed, in the manner of modern tights, and were open from the crotch to the leg. When very short doublets were in fashion, codpieces were added to cover the front opening.
By the sixteenth century, hose had separated into two garments: upper hose or breeches and nether hose or stockings.
From the mid-sixteeth to early seventeenth centuries, a variety of styles of hose were in fashion. Popular styles included:
- Trunk hose or round hose, short padded hose. Very short trunk hose were worn over cannions, fitted hose that ended above the knee.
- Slops or galligaskins, loose hose reaching just below the knee.
- :Trunk hose and slops could be paned or pansied, with strips of fabric (panes) over a full inner layer or lining.
- Pluderhosen, a Northern European form of pansied slops with a very full inner layer pulled out between the panes and hanging below the knee.
- Venetians, semi-fitted hose reaching just below the knee.
