Clothing Most people in the Middle Ages wore woolen clothing, with undergarments made of linen.
Color of the Clothes • Brighter colors, better materials, and a longer jacket length were usually signs of greater wealth.
Hats • Women wore flowing gowns and elaborate headwear, ranging from headdresses shaped like hearts or butterflies to tall steeple caps and Italian turbans.
Male vs. Female peasant clothes • Peasant men wore stockings or tunics, while women wore long gowns with sleeveless tunics and wimples to cover their hair.
Jewelry • Jewelry was lavish, much of it imported and often used as security against loans. Gem cutting was not invented until the fifteenth century, so most stones were not very lustrous. Ring brooches were the most popular item from the twelfth century on.
Importance of Clothes • Wool was for lower class people, such as slaves. Linen and silk was for the richer people, such as kings and queens. • Wool linen silk
