The laws were passed during the reigns of Henry VII and Mary, however they were routinely ignored and were hard to enforce.
Besides the royal family, and in many cases the high noble men, none wear allowed to wear; any silk of color purple, cloth of tissued gold, nor fur, velvet in gowns, coats, fur of leopards, hat, bonnet, swords and daggers.
these laws were issued in 1574, though again, were really useless,
hope this helped

What did a womens dress in the middle age say about her?
A woman's dress said a lot about her, as it told what her social position was. Rich people dressed better than poor, of course, but there were laws, called sumptuary laws, that restricted people of certain classes from wearing certain specific kinds of clothes, so a person who was merely rich could easily be distinguished from a person who was of a noble family. Sometimes the sumptuary laws also required prostitutes to wear distinguishing clothes, such as a red dress or a striped hood. And, of course, nuns wore distinctive clothing. There are links below.
