+The Clothing of the European [[Medieval]] period is a fascinating development from simple garments which were universal to all classes into complex, and often restrictive fashions, which varied for each class.
 [[Shoe]]s for men and women were fairly simple.  They were really no more than [[slipper]]s, with soft soles that offered minimal protection or support.  Many of the poor simply went barefoot.  Shoes were little more than ornaments for the rich.  [[Boot]]s were also available, but again they were flimsy by modern standards.
 The [[Norman Conquest]] brought many changes in the clothing of the English people.  Embroidered and appliqued borders became popular for men and women as did the wearing of [[belt]]s.  Square necklines gained popularity and became as common as the old round style.  The [[Normans]] also transmitted their attention to cleanliness and personal appearance to the English.  Soon most English [[comb]]ed their hair and bathed quite frequently and owned several sets of clothing.  The Normans also started a trend of fine fabrics and clothes decorated to an absurd degree.
 Women's clothes went through two notable changes during this period.  First, the sleeves of the super-tunic were no longer flared, but fit tight to the wrist.  Second, the super tunic was no longer hitched up but hung long.  Women continued to keep their heads covered.

+=== Clothing in Middle Age Europe ===
 The Clothing of the European [[Medieval]] period is a fascinating development from simple garments which were universal to all classes into complex, and often restrictive fashions, which varied for each class.  We will begin around 900 AD and continue to 1600, focusing on the clothing of the [[British Isles]].
 The clothing of Pre-Norman [[England]] was very simple, existing primarily for protection and warmth with little or no interest in [[fashion]].  All [[class]]es wore garments of similar type.  Distinctions of rank were shown in the quality of the fabric and in the person's [[jewelry]].  [[Wool]] and [[linen]] were the most common [[fabric]]s.  Both were dyed in basic, natural colors.  Upper class women might occupy their spare time by working [[embroidery]], but such adornment was rare.

 Shoes were still flimsy by modern standards, and like the rest of English costume became increasingly ornamented.
