medieval clothing
Feudal era attire
Clothing worn in Europe during the Middle Ages, roughly the 5th through 15th centuries.
The term covers everything from peasant tunics to elaborate court dress—doublets, hose, surcoats, and headdresses.
Medieval clothing appears in historical fiction, Renaissance faires, and fantasy settings: She spent months sewing her medieval clothing for the faire.
The phrase often signals romantic or fantastical associations rather than strict historical accuracy.
