What did European men wear?

A mans first piece of clothing was a braies. Braies are like a loose pair of boxers. There was no elastic in braies, so they were held up with a leather belt or a long shoe lace. The braies were knee length or longer, the next layer is a hose, and yes they are like pantie hose. The hose were made of woolen cloth. Over the braies and hose a man wore a linen shirt and wore a long tunic. Both men and women wore pointed shoes.
