Renaissance Festivals are the perfect day out, giving us the excuse to dress up, make merry and enjoy the experience to the fullest possible extent.
I mean, who doesn't like dressing up, eating great food and even enjoying a glass or two of great wine! One of the most important considerations when planning for your trip to the Medieval festival of choice is, as ever- what to wear! After all, turning up in period costume and staying in the character of a sixteenth century person only heightens your enjoyment and will make you memories of the day even more alive and vivid.
Plus, you will get some great photos! So, what are the choices when it comes to selecting a renaissance costume? Well, if you want your husband or boyfriend to look especially dashing, then a mens cloak is the answer.
An authentic medieval cloak is a nice finishing touch to a gentleman's outfit.
Other items that will need careful consideration would be a cloak pin and the mens tunic is also important.
When it comes to Renaissance clothing, women have a huge amount of choice, with a great variety of costumes available in every shape and size.
Whether you are male or female, you will want to first consider which character you are going to be at the renaissance festival.
You may, for example, fancy turning up as a chambermaid with her medieval naval husband.
Or maybe you want to be a little more up market and appear as a Lord and Lady of the manor.
Whichever you decide on, a quick search online will reveal an impressive amount of stockists, with lots of choice and reasonable prices, with colorful authentic medieval costumes which will leave you with memories to cherish for years to come.
