Reasons Behind the Laws
Restricted the sumptuousness of dress in order to curb extravagance, protect fortunes, and make clear the necessary and appropriate distinctions between levels of society
The main concern was that was that money spent on frivolous display would be better spent on the state of more important things
The other concern was that letting anyone wear just anything must lead inexorably to moral decline
These would be the upper class people.
