Manners Maketh the Man, Accessories Maketh the Medieval Man

Imagine a knight without his shining armour and sword. It is like today’s business executive without his smartphone and laptop Inseparable. So when you think of having a fun time where renaissance costumes or medieval costumes are indicated, do not scrimp on accessories and that goes for everything from hats to boots with everything in between.

Manners maketh the man all right, the renaissance age was a fine example of elegance and refinement. Renaissance dress may be more elegant and refined, gorgeous and impressive but medieval clothing and style have impact, especially when you consider a knight’s outfit from head to toe, in figurative as well as literal terms!. Chain mail is not light. A renaissance rapier is fine and dandy, matching elegant manners but a chunky medieval sword generates respect and open mouthed awe. It is one accessory that maketh the medieval man. No marks for guessing why Arnold Schwarzenegger was cast as Conan the Barbarian.

If you are the type that prefers medieval costumes like tunics, capes, chain mail gauntlets, shields, helms, baldrics, vambraces, chain mail armour, medieval sword, visor, medieval helmet and other articles of a knight’s outfit complete with medieval weapons to make an impressive entrance at any party, then go the whole hog and choose all these, perfectly matched from specialist medieval costumes stores online. They are the perfect source for a variety of medieval clothing. Similarly, if you wish to appear as a medieval pirate, forget about sunglasses to give you style. Leave them at home. Dress up like a medieval pirate in pirate clothes and a dashing pirate shirt with matching sash, belt, boots, eye patch and a hat with a feather, gloves and you project a devil may care look. Don’t mess with me. Well, a skull and crossbones or a parrot may be overdoing things a little bit in the accessories department. Besides, not all pirates had wooden legs.

If a pirate or a knight (dark, light or café-au-lait) and his armoury of medieval weapons does not appeal to you then you can always fall back to being Robin Hood and dress up in the typical medieval costume of medieval England, spiced up by the freestyle life of the men in Sherwood forest. Here again you can choose the right accessories to lend an air of authenticity. Robin Hood pants, shirts and hoods are great, but consider the tunic, capes and typical outlaw hats and boots to match and possibly a medieval sword, bow and a quiver of arrows on your back. Who knows mayhap you might just come across a Maid Marion for you at the party.

These and various medieval costumes as well as matching accessories are available in matched sets with options on the accessories to help you refine your look according to your plan for the party or event. One can of course design and compile an ensemble of pirate clothes or a knight’s outfit complete with medieval helmet, medieval sword and other medieval weapons like an axe for unique looks and greater impact. Medieval costumes give you great freedom to experiment and develop your character.
