The clothing of peasants and those of the lower class weren't very complex, and quite simple. Most outfits consisted of a cloth or skin top with a leather belt around the abdominal area. A purse and sheath with knife would hang from the belt. Hefty boots or shoes would be worn on the feet, they would wear hats made of wool and gloves for cold and work. Also, woolen pants and a jacket made of thick sheep skin would be worn. Women would wear wimples, a cloth worn around the head which framed the face, and a long gown. This is a basic overview of what peasants of the medieval times would wear.
