The Middle Ages were a period of about 1000 years. Which century are you interested into?
Clothing, armors, societies changed a lot in this age, while still keeping a feudal system.
If you are interested into the later centuries of the Middle Ages you are going to find much more material, including direct depictions from contemporaries.
I suggest you Taleworld's forum, the historical section. While the site is about a video game there are many knowledgeable people in there. Lots of descriptions have been posted.
The Sage's Guid
Check out especially Druzhina's posts for contemporary depictions.
Consider also that in Medieval artwork characters appearance were executed in contemporary clothing. So you can see crucifixion scenes with soldiers in full plate armors and pious ladies in XIII century fashion.
Since they are very popular I will mention also the Osprey's Books. They are often well done but sometimes inaccurate. Beware.
