The highest officials would have huge powdered wigs, and servants would follow behind them to carry it above the ground. It would be normal for common people to wear shorter wigs, and even children would wear them.

And they’d be decorated like Xmas trees, with all sorts of ornamentation, sometimes lit candles, maybe a shiny star on top.

Doorways in posh neighborhoods would all be made taller or have arches added to them.
