The Middle Ages may be a dark era, but it was also the time when many fascinating and ultimately innovative events in human history took place. The plague and many wars also took place in the Middle Ages. Costumes from the dark ages are not only popular at Mardi Gras and carnival . If you think of medieval markets or the Wave Gothic meeting and the corresponding concerts, there are numerous opportunities to wear or discover medieval costumes in all their facets. Another ideal opportunity to immerse yourself in this era is role-playing in the form of pen and paper games or an elaborate LARP. Thanks to the many social classes and European and Asian spheres of influence in the Middle Ages, medieval costumes are very diverse. Numerous costumes from the Lord of the Rings theme also fit into the Middle Ages.
A hero of the Middle Ages was the famous hero Robin Hood . His appearance in the natural colors green and brown is available as a men's and women's costume . The crusader and English king Richard the Lionheart comes from the same period and is also very popular with carnival fans.
Henry Tudor, fortune teller Nostradamus and the magnificent Borgia Pope are other roles that medieval fans will feel very comfortable in. Depending on the character, some accessories such as wigs or beards are necessary. In the case of the Pope or a Queen, there is also jewelry or various rings and crowns.
The simple farmer is a symbol of the Middle Ages, as are the learned monks with their huge crosses and the typical monk's hairstyle and cowl. The most popular men's costume in this theme is the medieval knight . The costume must include a sword and either armor or at least a leather jerkin. A slightly different form of warrior are medieval costumes , which appear in the style of the Germanic tribes or Vikings and have a wild and natural look. Evil characters can be found in the form of bandits and black robber knights or even witches .
The classic medieval costume for a woman consists of a dress, a neat hairstyle and possibly jewelry. This depends on whether the woman is a farmer and maid or a queen or princess or noblewoman. If you prefer something a little more modern, you can get inspiration from a later, but partly fictional, era and take a look at our Steampunk Victorian section.
