Sendaria is a continant/country born of mixed backgrounds and places so this is why I'm focusing on european clothing rather than just, for example, English.
Their income and work is largely farming. Sendaria is described as being mostly fields/farms and farm land so any clothing would have to be practical.
Most Sendarian's are described as wearing brown but Polgara and Begarath are also said to be seen wearing blue.
Natual dyes in medieval Europe consisted of the colours:
red
blue
violet
crimson
purple
yellow
green
brown
Brown: Iron and pitch
Red: Chalk, brazilwood, lime, gum (red involved a lengthy dying process so was likely to be less common)
Green: verdigris
Yellow: Orpiment, alum, lime
Blue: Ground lapis lazuli and lime
- Bright colours were deemed unsuitable for peasant class (considered not humble and engendered a feeling of pride).
(NOTE: Sendarians, known to be very practical, would avoid bright colours.)
- Greys browns and muted blues were seen as suitable for the lower class.
(NOTE: This would make sense, as I have only ever heard descriptions of Sendarians wearing blues or Browns. Garion's outfit is described as all brown.)
Below are some inspiration boards of medieval inspired fashion. Some more realistic some less so. Because there is no specific time period for Belgariad as it is fantasy, liberties can be taken. I would like to base the clothing somewhat in fact, however.
