Clothing during The Late Middles Ages ?
Hi guys… well anybody have any ideas regrading what kind of clothes men, women, children, upper or lower or middle classes wore during the late middle ages? Why did they wear those kind of clothes and what kind of values did they have with clothes? like in summary? or even bigger.. maybe with visuals?
thank you soooooooooo much! best answer will get 10 points! 
In many European societies, the kinds of clothes that people could wear was governed by laws called sumptuary laws.
Clothes in England were typically made of natural fibers like wool and linen (made from flax) or from leather. Men and women wore stockings, typically woolen, held up with garters at or above the knee, and shoes or boots made of leather or wooden pattens or clog-type overshoes in bad weather. Men wore knee-length or longer tunics and cloaks as outerwear. Women wore long tunics or gowns over shifts that were worn during the day as underwear and at night as nightgowns.
Sumptuary laws based on social class, income, or profession, religion, medical condition, or other characteristics governed the fabrics that could be used, the trimmings that could be applied, and, in some cases, the colors that could be worn. Adult males and females typically covered their heads – men with hats or hoods, women with veils or wimples.
Hope that helps.
