How did fashion/clothing really change through the medieval ages and early modern period?

Discussion/Question

Through history fashion changed every decade, but I wonder. Did people instantly start wearing the clothes that came into fashion (changing their wardrobes in the first 5 years)?

For instance. In 70s America, everybody had cars from the 60s, as the 70s models weren't that common right away. They were expensive. In movies, everybody drives the cars that are made in that decade (which wasn't the case for real life). Which brings me back to medieval fashion.

How fast did people change their fashion in medieval times (and early modern period)? Yes, the rich probably changed their closets right away, but what about the common folk? It could take decades for them to catch on. Get money for new clothes and then also be aware of the new clothes existance? Isolated villages (like in the mountains) especially.

Sorry for bad grammar in advance.

So this is a story I came across while researching a University paper a while back. People in the Early Modern Period used to think Jews had magical abilities, and some Jews tried to used that to their advantage. I believe this happened in Germany if anyone is wondering.

Looking for a good book on The Hundred Years War and the wider late medieval and early modern period of European history.

Discussion/Question

I’m aware of a previous post on this subreddit in which someone recommended Johnathon Sumption’s series. His books seem to have what I want in terms of being easy to read but I’m particularly cautious about reading books that are potentially “out of date” (the first book in the series being released thirty years ago). History is a field in a constant flux of new information and I’d like have the up to date story. I’d also like recommendations for books on late medieval and early modern Europe with an emphasis on monarchies, particularly Britain, France and ‘Germany’ (Holy Roman Empire).

Is it true that it was better for a average person to live in the middle ages then the early modern period?

Discussion/Question

I mean because of the witch trials, inquisition, peasant wars, wars of religion, 30 years war and other. And yes I am comparing periods who lasted hundreds of years. But it just seemed seemed to be that people were more enlightened in the medieval age 6-th century until 15-th century then the 16-th century until late 19-th century. I am speaking of Europe I could argue about Asia also but not now.
