That was part of military doctrine back then

You'd run onto the battlefield and when you saw some guy with a big feather hat, puffy shoulders, a dress, bright colours, fancy dress shoes, garters on their legs covered in tights ... you'd break out in laughter and roll around on the ground as Mr Fancypants stabbed you.

I heard that during viking times pink and glitter would be considered very luxurious. Dunno if it's true, but I think it's funny.
