Medieval attire varied based on social class, with nobility wearing more luxurious clothing than peasants. Men's tunics became tighter over time, often topped with cloaks or surcoats. Wealthy men wore detailed, well-made clothing while peasants made do with scratchy, tattered rags or potato sacks. Women's gowns ranged from flowing dresses to ankle-length tunics, and married women often wore tight-fitting caps or nets to cover their hair.
