Why did opposition to fashion become politics in the identity of sans-culottes?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because aristocratic knee-breeches were a visible symbol of social privilege

Sans-culottes wore long trousers instead of the knee-breeches, or culottes, associated with aristocrats. This was not merely a difference in dress: aristocratic clothing represented old social privilege and the royalist elite. Rejecting it therefore became a public assertion of equality and revolutionary politics. Option B is incorrect because long trousers were a popular identity, not a requirement imposed by the king. Exam tip: in the French Revolution, connect symbols such as clothing, caps, and colours with class and political ideas.
