plumed
Wearing decorative plumage
Plumed means having or adorned with plumes—large, showy feathers or feathery ornaments.
Knights wore plumed helmets; birds display plumed crests.
The word appears most often in literary or historical contexts: a plumed hat, plumed serpent.
Extended uses describe anything feathery or rising like a plume: plumed grass, plumed smoke.
