So, everybody knows that the people who lived in th Medival times didn't wear clothes like we do today, But what did they wear? Monks wore long robes called habits, and other men wore them at knee-length. Braies were wore under their tunics and were two seperate, loose fitting, woolen leggings, that's why we call them a "pair of pants". all you The way woman in the middle classes were fashionable was by having detachable sleves.

ReplyDeleteALSO FROM ANONYMOUS: Thanks for clearing the air about the "pair of pants" thing, I always wondered about that. And I never knew that the robes the monks wore actually had a name! It surprised me. I like the post!!
