| has gloss | eng: Sumptuary laws (from Latin sumptuariae leges) are laws that attempt to regulate habits of consumption. Black's Law Dictionary defines them as "Laws made for the purpose of restraining luxury or extravagance, particularly against inordinate expenditures in the matter of apparel, food, furniture, etc." . Traditionally, they were laws that regulated and reinforced social hierarchies and morals through restrictions on clothing, food, and luxury expenditures. In most times and places they were ineffectual. |

| has gloss | hbs: Sumptuarni zakoni (od latinskog izraza sumptuariae leges) jesu zakoni kojima se nastoje regulirati potrošnja stanovništva, odnosno raspolaganje njihovom osobnom imovinom. Tradicionalno su to bili zakoni kojima se nastoji regulirati društvena hijerarhija i moral, u pravilu tako da se uvode ograničenja u ishrani, odijevanju ili luksuznim dobrima. U većini slučajeva, takvi zakoni nisu davali rezultate. |
