Fashion and clothing was
a very important part of medieval society and was greatly appreciated by the people of those times. The clothing styles for the royal families would be very elegant while serf's and merchant's clothes weren't as focused on. People would weave these clothes in guilds and depending on where you live, depended on what you wore. The guilds would follow different traditions and beliefs, therefore, clothing would differ wherever you lived. You could usually tell someone's social status by what they wore. The knights wore chain mail for protection. Chain mail is strong metal suits and they also wore armor to fight their wars. In the summer, people would wear light clothing such as cotton. In the winter, they wore surcoats which were like coats but they were very long. The people liked long and dragging clothes like dresses and coats. Freedmen sometimes wore uniforms if they worked in the castle for the king.
