Because they were poor, they often wore second-hand clothes obtained from friends, relatives or their land lord's household. They also obtained cloth when they were able and sewed their own clothing in forms imitating the styles worn by the more well-to-do. It was also common to have many children in a family (to combat the high mortality rate) and older children's clothing would be passed down from child to child as one grew out of them and the next grew into them in size.
Some families (depending on where they lived) were able to gather plant material such as hemp or the wool of sheep, and spin them into thread on a spinning wheel and weave it into fabric of their own on a loom. If they were too poor to own their own spinning wheel or loom, they might negotiate the use of them from someone who did.
People who belonged to the lower strata of society wore clothing made from materials like wool, sheepskin and even linen. People who belonged to this category were not allowed to wear materials in silk or even have velvet trimmings.
they usually could not afford bright dyes such as purples and would ussually dye clothes in browns.
Men's clothing in the Elizabethan Era also witnessed quite a few changes. Men wore 'jerkins' which were embroidered shirts with buttons down in the front. The women also wore simple dresses.
Poor people in the 16th century wore clothing made out of course wool. Women wore long skirts with smocks over it. Men wore clothing that consisted of multiple layers. Men wore breeches with hose on the bottom. They wore shirts with vests over them.
