In the Renaissance what would a Lord and a Lady typically wear? If you can, could you also please tell me what social class a Lord and a Lady are in? Thank you so much!

Not the easiest of answers - you could be looking a regional nuances in dress and about 100 years of changes in fashion. The classic 'couple' is this one : http://en.wikipedia.o...ki/Arnolfini_Portrait
Anyone who could get a portrait done would be seriously rich, and the period you are looking at is one where people were either rich or poor with a tiny but extremely powerful ruling class.
Titles such as 'Lord' usually had duties attached to them that implied you could afford to do them eg provide a number of fully equipped soldiers to the king; pay taxation at a certain level for a certain area of land.
Simplest answer - at this time the only social classes were the well-off and the workers.

...so in Romeo and Juliet characters such as the nurse are workers, and Lord and Lady Capulet might dress like the Arnolfini couple

Dress codes throughout history have been governed by Sumptuary Laws which lay down who can wear what and who can buy what. Used as a means to control and protect the economy.

If you google sumptuary laws there's lots of info out there (even in W*k* !!)
