Clothing styles varied, depending on the part of Europe a person lived in, the historic period, and, of course, by sex.

In the North, in the Early Middle Ages, men tended to wear trousers, a tunic, and a cloak, and women wore one or more gowns. They wore belts and leather shoes, though servants might go bare footed, and women wore hats.

In the South of the Early Middle Ages, clothing was very much as it had been under the Roman Empire. Men wore tunics, possibly with wound leggings. Women also wore tunics, though of different cut.

In the Byzantine Empire, dress was also conservative. Women's dress was modest and rather shapeless gowns. Men wore cloaks and tunics.

Later on, variations in style became more common, and the regional differences became greater. Each country had its distinctive dress, and there was variation with each generation. Though servants' clothing did not vary as much as their masters', it is rather difficult to describe it all in any concise manner.

There is a link below to an article on the History of Western dress, and there are many links to other articles, by place and time, from there.
