brooch or, later on, a ring. The Phrygian cap was the main style of headcovering worn by
men, although hoods would also be worn.
Women´s fashion
The main garment for a woman was a woollen gown of ankle length. Occasionally two gowns
were worn, with the inner gown having longer, tighter sleeves, and the outer one having
shorter, looser sleeves. Under this might be worn a linen underdress. A mantle might be worn
over the outer dress, along with a cloak. After the introduction of Christianity, all women
(except for very young girls and occasionally slaves) would wear some kind of headcovering,
usually a draped couvrechf, the ancestor of the later wimple. Like men, free women would
also carry a seax as a sign of their freedom.
Weddings
