Flamboyant (Renaissance/Tudor era?) costume for G8M?

I would need a flamboyant costume for a G8M character. I was thinking Renaissance-style (maybe earlier, but not later. So, not a 18th century costume, for instance), very colorful. maybe with complex sleeves, feathered hat, things like that. I noticed the "renaissance attire for Dforce", but it doesn't really have this flamboyant character I'm seeking, and I'm not sure that making it more colorful would help much.
Any idea where I could find such a costume, or pieces of costume I could use to assemble one?

Might take some converting to get it up to date...

I find "renaissance male clothing" more ridiculous than flamboyant. On the oher hand, "jack-of-hearts" is more in line with what I had in mind, but I would need a cloth adapter genesis to G8, and it annoys me a bit to use such an old asset because it's intended for a recurring character, and I'd rather have it look really good.
I also noticed "southern noble outfit" that has some fancy textures : https://www.daz3d.com/southern-noble-outfit-textures even though I had something more "flamboyant" in mind.
Other suggestions are welcome.
Why not the evident one? https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-renaissance-attire-for-genesis-8-male ; - combined with some kitbashing, using flamboyant shaders and eventually some stuff of this here: https://www.daz3d.com/adventurer-for-genesis-2-male-s ; or https://www.daz3d.com/pirate-for-genesis-and-genesis-2-males ? This one also has some renaissances - approaches, if you are looking for a conquistador style: https://www.daz3d.com/caput-caseum
Renaissance fashion is no more ridiculous than today's boring men's fashion! Either you want renaissance - or you don't ..... :-)
I don't want Renaissance specifically. It's for a fantasy setting, not an historical one. I thought of Renaissance because...well, costumes were often flamboyant at this time. Fashion is arbitrary, but I perceive this particular style as ridiculous, and I think the character wouldn't be perceived seriously if he were dressed like this (unless it was in an actual historical setting were other people would be dressed similarly). Also it would be too peculiar to fit in a non-descript fantasy setting even though the character is supoposed to come from some remote place where style migt be different.
I thought about the adventurers/pirates (especially since I'd like this character to have some sort of noticeable hat, I was thinking of something like that : https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/93027548524354184/ but later hats could do the trick) but my concern with these older items is that I fear they won't look as good as more recent ones, hence that his costume will look cheap by comparison with others, rather than flambloyant.
In fact, the pinterest page I linked to : https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/93027548524354184/ shows costumes of the style I seek. This one in particular : https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/557672366357401852 is exactly what I have in mind. It's qualified as "Tudor costume". So, that's what I'm searching for. A Tudor costume. I'm amending the thread title to reflect this.
