Poorer people wore the same kinds of clothes as anyone else: pants and shirts, dresses and skirts, jackets (called doublets) or cloaks, boots and shoes. The poor were forbidden by law to wear colours obtained with expensive dyes or expensive foreign fabrics or clothing adorned with expensive furs or jewellery. Only the very rich were allowed to dress like that. Plain-woven woolens or linens, dyed with vegetable dyes (and thus usually browns, greens and yellows) would be the fabrics worn by the poorest people.
