Nobels and Peasants: Most people in the middle ages wore clothes made of wool or linen. While many peasants made their clothes at home, kings, queens and other members of nobility had their clothes made by tailors. The higher the quality of the material, the more prominent the people who wore the clothes. Kings, queens and other nobles adorned their clothing with jewels and intricately woven silk. Nobles were often distinguished by the longer length of their jackets. Wealthy men often wore hose and jackets with pleats or skirting during the latter part of the middle ages.
About religious orders: The holy order during the middle ages wore woolen habits that resembled the Roman style of clothing. Religious affiliation was distinguished by color. The Benedictines wore black and the Cistercians wore either undyed wool or white. The Poor Clare Sisters, which was an order of Franciscan nuns, petitioned the pope for permission to wear woolen socks.
