All particolored garments depicted in medieval illustrations and artwork seem to be set up so that all parts of the right side of the body are one color, and all parts on the left are the other. Sleeves are the same color as the section of the body to which they are attached. Men's hose may be the same, counterchanged, or completely different from the color worn on that side of the body.
Often, particolored garments seem to be worn by musicians or liveried servants, but particolored garments appear in other contexts as well. (Another term used for particolor on some of these webpages is "mi-parti.") Marie Chantal Cadieux has additional illustrations of particolored clothing on men and women.

And mooreover, the wrecched swollen membres that they shewe thurgh disgisynge, in departynge of hire hoses in whit and reed, semeth that half hir shameful privee membres weren flayne. And if so be that they departen hire hoses in othere colours, as is whit and blak, or whit and blew, or blak and reed, and so forth, thanne semeth it, as by variaunce of colour, that half the partie of hire privee membres were corrupt by the fir of Seint Antony, or by cancre, or by oother swich meschaunce.
