According to one source I found, pull on underwear began to replace loincloths for men in the 13th century.
In the 1600's, women wore chemises and smocks worn under their gowns. They also sometimes wore linen drawers. Garters, corsets, petticoats and whatnot became popular as fashions changed and skirts more voluminous. The brassiere did not appear until the early 20th century, however.
In the middle ages, men started wearing loose, mid-calf length undergarmets called braies. These usually had a flap in the front for when nature called. When men started wearing hose in the 1600-1700's, their underwear became tighter-fitting, and presumably shorter.
The term smallclothes for mens' undies came into use in the mid to late 1700's.
