Trunk hoses are men's clothing worn during the 16th and early 17th centuries in Europe. They were essentially padded and puffed shorts often worn with a doublet, a short jacket worn over the shirt. Trunk hoses were commonly made of silk, velvet, or satin, and were often decorated with elaborate embroidery and jewels. They were worn high on the waist and were supported by a series of laces, buckles, or even an attached codpiece. The style of trunk hose varied over time, with some being narrower and others being more voluminous, even resembling a skirt.
