The shoes worn by the Angl0-Saxon people were usually made of leather and tied up with toggles or laces. The shoes were usually quite big and therefore required to be fastened. They resembled modern-day boots.
Anglo-Saxon cloak pattern
Cloaks were often worn over the attire especially by men. The cloaks completed the dress and provided warmth in the winter. They were rectangular in shape and often came with a headcover.

The only jewellery which could be extracted from studies for men were either belt buckles or brooches either made of silver or base metal.
Children’s Jewellery
The jewellery which was worn by children was common amongst boys and girls except for the design. Bangles for wrist and ankle, beads and neck rings were the most popularly used jewellery by children.
The most common jewellery of women was a part of their clothing, that is, brooches. Apart from that, they used to wear very simple ornaments for the neck which were either made of glass beads or were made of bead strands which were hung on the metal rings.
Thus, we now get a complete picture of the Anglo Saxons clothes and jewellery.
There are also a number of evidence by the archaeologists themselves which quite contradicts such assumptions or insufficiently suffices it thereby making the Anglo Saxons re-enactment clothing difficult but more or less gives us a rough idea about the dressing of the Anglo Saxons.
