High Medieval Clothing
The High Middle Ages usually designate the time from the 11th to the 13th centuries. Most notably, compared to the Early Middle Ages, during the High Middle Ages the garments of the nobility had become far more conspicuous, colorful, and form-fitting.
According to contemporary research, the most common article of clothing was the “cote,” a rather simple garment worn by rich and poor, men and women alike. However, the cote’s shape and color varied, depending upon the wearer’s gender and status.
The garments of the poor during the High Middle Ages
The simple shape of the cote was quite popular with the lower classes, and it was frequently worn by the poor. So, for instance, the Landsässische Tracht (garb worn by Landsassen; Middle High German for ’farm workers’), usually consisted of an undershirt and breeches (a kind of medieval underwear) as undergarments under a belted cote and chausses, usually with a coif (‘Bundhaube’) as headwear, topped off with a hat or a hood. Farmers and simple peasants usually wore clothes made from wool or linen, as these materials were easy to produce and inexpensive to obtain.
Clothing of the nobility in the High Middle Ages
Because clothing in the High Middle Ages was also considered a symbol of status, and the nobility fancied showing off their prosperity, obtaining the most exquisite fabrics quickly became quite a sumptuous affair. Although the pattern of the cote worn by the nobility resembled that of the peasants, the garment was hardly suitable for practical labor. Noble men usually wore cotes with varying lengths (from the middle of the thighs to the middle of the calves), while women’s dresses were often long enough to draggle on the floor. Additionally, the rich attempted to use (and thus show off) as much fabric as possible, and therefore pleated it vertically. As a result, the motif of the pleated garment was quite popular in the visual arts of that time.
Dyed fabrics were, due to the rarity of dyes, quite expensive, which is why the colorful garb of the nobility stood out from the untreated fabrics worn by the lower classes.
