Medieval fashion theme for your next event
Are you planning a themed event and unsure what genre to select? Then why not woo your guests by throwing a dashing medieval themed costume event. In that period, fashion tended to be more functional than decorative, with men and women wearing similar clothing.
Men and women wore long tunics, usually worn over another sleeved garment. They used brooches to tighten the materials, and some women wore head coverings. It wasn’t until the early 14th century that women’s gowns became more fitted, with lower necklines and other accessories.
Social status played a very important role during the medieval period and was demonstrated in the style the people wore. Wealthier people had the luxury of wearing materials such as linen and silk, which were imported from Asia. Other fabrics such as velvet, satin, and damasks were brought back to England after the crusades.
The lower class typically wore outfits made with hard wool and rough linen. The middle class could afford to dye their garments and add a few accessories. Colours also played a crucial role, with red and purple reserved for royalty.
