Rhinegraves are a form of breeches which were popular from the early 1660s until the mid-1670s in Western Europe. They are very full breeches gathered below the knee. Usually an overskirt was worn over them which was decorated with ribbon loops around the waist and around the knee. Where the knee was gathered a large frill of lace and stocking tops added further decoration.Rhinegraves replaced the petticoat breeches in the early 1660s.
