Answer 2

The clothing of peasants was basic, practical and not decorated. Men wore a short woollen tunic belted at the waist over short woollen trousers. they sometimes wore a small hat over a woollen cowl and boots on their feet.

Women wore woollen dresses over a woollen underskirt. they sometimes had a woollen cowl to protect their head and shoulders and boots on their feet. Most of the clothing was made out of wool, because it was cheap. So most of the time it was very itchy.
Peasants would generally wear a rough tunic made of wool or such material. They could wear it with leggings (like modern day) with either wooden or leather shoes if they could afford it. Women would wear ankle length skirts with a shawl or something to keep themselves warm
