Indoor cloths

Shirt - For a man, the shirt was made up of simple rectangles, not very full in size. It was fitted closely to the body and arms, with gussets under the arms to allow movement, perhaps gussets at the neck for shaping, maybe a band collar, and side slits to allow movement below the natural waist.  

Doublet with sleeves – Again made of wool, your doublet should have sleeves attached and very simple closures. It may or may not have wings (epaulets) on the shoulders, but they should be minimal and continue the slope of the shoulder. Going without a doublet in public is to be considered undressed, and hence uncivilized. 

Belt – Narrow leather, no wider than one inch. Buckles should be somewhat small. Belts are worn over the doublet, up at the waistline, not down on the hips. The belt should follow the waist seam of the doublet. Use belt hooks to keep it in position.

Outwear

Jerkin – A sleeveless doublet or jacket worn over your regular doublet; can be made of wool or occasionally, leather. It may or may not have closures or a collar. It may be plain or decoratively slashed.

Accessories

Coif– A simple white linen head covering. Optional for men.

Hat – A flat cap, a shaped wool tall hat with a rounded top, or a straw hat if your trade reflects that you work in the fields. If decorating it with feathers, avoid expensive, showy or long ones such as ostrich and pheasant. Think native British birds.

Shoes/footwear

Shoes are made of Leather, simple shape in only natural colored leather with round toes and not square or pointed. Latched shoes were common.

Hairstyles and Beards

The hair was usually combed forward at the front to form a short fringe over the forehead. A trimmed beard and mustache came into style in the mid 16th century.
