Etymology

The term 'tippet' originates from the Middle English word 'tipet,' which is derived from the Old French word 'tippet,' meaning 'a piece of clothing.' The usage of tippets can be traced back to the 14th century, particularly in Europe, where they were worn as a symbol of status and refinement. Initially, tippets were made from luxurious materials, including silk and fur, which indicated the wearer's wealth. Over time, the design and purpose of tippets evolved, and they became more common among various social classes. By the 19th century, tippets were often associated with women's fashion, serving as both a stylish accessory and a practical piece of clothing for warmth. The tippet's design has influenced many modern fashion elements, evidenced by its presence in both high fashion and everyday attire.
