It seems medieval women did not wear shawls, though I would welcome someone else to find more on this.

Shawls were worn in ancient Persia, but seem to have been introduced into Western Europe during the 16th or 17th century. According to my dictionary, the word came into English from Persian, with the earliest recorded use in 1609.

Everyone wore a woolen tunic in the Roman style with linen undergarments, but depending on wealth the fabric maybe nicer for the weathy and they had more colors. Cloaks were worn, leather turn style shoes, and hats.
