I guess you are talking about men's costume, since women wore dresses. Medieval men's costume evolved only very slowly and it was essentially a continuation of late Roman fashions. Tunics had been worn by Celts, Romans, Greeks, Persians, Dacians, Spanish and other men of the Ancient world for thousands of years, sometimes alone and sometimes with additional leg-coverings.
The Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, Wends, Franks and other Germanic people who migrated to England during the 5th and 6th centuries AD wore tunics and trousers (bracae) because that was part of their ancient culture. The Romanised Celts already in England wore almost exactly the same.
Men continued to wear tunics throughout the medieval period, up to about 1500. So men have historically worn tunics for very much longer than they have not been wearing them. It's simply a matter of current fashions.
The medieval era's fashion was known for its tunics specially worn by men. Fashion in the Middle Ages was determined by the social class people were belonging to. During the Middle Ages, the people wore clothes that were influenced by the styles of clothing that was worn by the kings and queens of the kingdom. As with everything else in the Middle Ages, clothing that was worn was depicted by your social stance in the kingdom.
The basic garment worn by medieval men and women was "tunic" as that was the most simple cloth to wear. Women wore their tunics long, usually to mid-calf, which made them, essentially, dresses and men wore tunics up to their knees.
