I'd recomend you look at the meuseum replicas catalog. They sell many reproductions of these outfits so you'll get pictures as well as discriptions. Tunics were worn by both men and women. Tights are purely for modern show . Tights like modern people wear weren't around during those times. They wore pants that usually tied at the bottom to prevent insects from climbing up. A noblemans jerkin often covered the tunic.
I'm a mideval reinactor and blacksmith so I'm more than familar with the styles but there's too much to explain. Look for a book on costume designs in the period your looking for.

Middle ages men wore Chain Mail. Its a type of armor.

Hope this helps.
Brighter colors, better materials, and longer jacket length were signs of greater wealth in the Middle Ages. Wealthy people wore clothing made of silk, velvet, and a heavy cloth called damask. Fur was used for linings and trimmings. Style changed dramatically over the course of the Middle Ages for the wealthy. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, it was fashionable for men to wear hose and a jacket with pleating or skirting or a tunic with a surcoat. At one point, it was fashionable for men to wear long pointy shoes. Sometimes the points were so long that they had to be tied around the ankle in order for the men to walk. Wealthy women wore linen or silk undergarments topped by a gown or surcoat. In the winter, they wore petticoats of fur (otter, cat, or miniver). Clothing was generally very versatile with reversible fabrics and detachable sleeves.

The wardrobes of the wealthy were augmented by fur trimmings and jewelry. Jewelry was lavish and often imported. Stones were uncut as stone cutting had not yet been invented. Diamonds became popular in the fourteenth century. By the mid fourteenth century, laws had been developed to control who wore what jewelry.

Clothes became a status symbol towards the end of the Middle Ages. The noble and wealthy did not want commoners to dress like them, so they made laws that forbade peasants to wear anything but "cheap cloth or a blanket". Peasants would generally not have been able to break this law, because they couldn't afford anything extravagant.
