Clothing, in the broadest sense, refers to materials that cover the body which provide [[warmth]], [[shelter]], [[hygiene]], and/or [[modesty]]. Clothing can be made of any number of materials, including plant fibers (such as [[cotton]]), animal hides or fibers (such as [[wool]] or [[fur]]), and artificial textiles (such as [[polyester]] or [[spandex]]). The vast variety of clothing speaks to the diversity of human [[culture]]s and [[behavior]], with different modes of clothing being reserved for [[work]], certain socioeconomic [[class]]es, and [[children]].

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.
