2. Upper Class: Women Clothes were often layered with tunics, overtunics, and cloaks Women would wear kirtles, or tunics that went to the ankles, and over their shirts The elaborate gowns worn by queens were made by attaching tubes of fabric at the shoulders. Wimples, which are cloth headdresses, covered the head and neck False Hair was used in order to make braids longer

4. Upper Class: Men Because of the short tunics, men wore hose in order to be modest A gipon, which is shaped closely to the body, has no collar, a round neckline, buttons or lacing down the front, and ends above the knees, replaced the tunic in the later years. A pourpoint was worn as an outer garment that tight fitted in the chest and waist. Later, a collar that reached to the ears was added to the pourpoint called a carcaille Wide balloon-shaped or sack-shaped sleeves were also very popular

6. Lower Class The style of clothing worn was greatly influenced on the person’s status The lower class wore fabric of broadcloth and wool instead of the velvet and satin worn by the upper class Most of the clothing worn by both men and women were simple tunics and dresses that were loose fitting in order to allow room to grow in Fashion of the lower class rarely changed since most clothes were handed down through the family

Children: Girls Children of wealthier families were often dressed like adults Like women, girls wore a kirtle as underwear A cote-hardie, which is tight fitting, has a low neckline, and long sleeves with attachments called tippets or streamers.
