Hollywood has no concept of what 5th century Romans looked like. If I'm watching a movie about the final days of the Western Roman Empire, I should be seeing zero togas. It's like if you made a movie about the Trump administration, you wouldn't have people dressed like the founding fathers. That's how wrong it is.

This is what 5th century Romans looked like:

I think the problem is that pop culture has this theme park version of history that treats time periods like distinct worlds with no fluidity between them. In Roman Times, people dressed like this vs Medieval Times when people dressed like that. But that is obviously not how time works. The end of the Western Roman Empire led directly into and overlapped with the Middle Ages, and the aesthetics we associate with medieval Europe were already long established.

On a related note, the "barbarians" didn't dress like you think they did either. Less of this:

More of this:

Again, the end of the Western Roman Empire was the beginning of medieval Europe, and it already looked like it.

The notable exception was the Franks, who apparently really did dress like that:

There really is an exception to everything, and it's usually the French.

Vikings/Norse in media ...

What they really looked like...

The woman in the "what Old Norse people really looked like" -section of the last addition is dressed in an Iron Age Latvian dress. Old Norse women didn't use the chiton style dress many Baltic and Baltic Finnic people used, they used what's called apron dress. Here's couple of reenactors dressed in Old Norse style apron dresses. (I don't think these are like reconstructed by professional historians but they are pretty accurate to museum reconstructions. Except for the hair of course.)

For comparison here's another reconstruction of Iron Age Latvian dress and one of Iron Age Finnish dress.

Shapewise the dress is basically the same as antique Greek chiton, but from thick wool and a long sleeved dress under it to make it suitable for colder climate. Iron Age lasted well into Middle Ages in Baltic Sea area, and these dresses are based on finds from the time that Middle Ages was happening in most of Europe. The Finnish dress is dated to 11th century which was High Middle Ages in rest of Europe. I think this highlights the point how much the Antique period and Middle Ages flowed into each other.

I have to note that the dress in the right side of the second picture of the original post is not very accurate depiction of a Medieval dress. Generally I would always caution against trusting these very modern illustrations of historical clothing. Early medieval dress varied greatly geographically. For example the Old Norse apron dress is early Medieval dress. The unifying features were that the garments were loose and often tied with girdles, not fitted like in the illustration.

Here's a reconstruction of a 7th century Saxon dress and an illustration of Anglo-Saxon dress from 10th century.

First fitted medieval dress was 12th century bliaut in French influenced area, which wasn't smoothly fitting still as tailoring wouldn't come along till the 14th century. Here's couple of depictions of bliaut. And bliaut was used by both men and women as was the tailored kirtles of Late Medieval period. So if a woman is depicted in a fitted gown, then the men would be too.

Loose gowns were still used elsewhere, when bliaut was used by french so I guess the French are again the exception.

The point of the original post still stands and I think the way early medieval dress really looked like makes it even stronger. The pop culture's idea of the fitted medieval dress comes really fully in Late Medieval period and it's early version at the end of the High Medieval period. Before that the Medieval dress is very similar to the Late Roman dress, loose simple tunic shapes with a girdle.
