Greetings!  I'm in the process of re-reading _All the King's Cooks_ by
Peter Brears.  There are nice photos of the Hampton Court cooks wearing
what would have been worn by Henry VIII's cooks.  Other than being somewhat
uniform in style and color, the clothing looks pretty much like what
lower/middle class men would have worn.  I'm thinking you'll find
differences of dress in different countries and definitely at different
times.
