How to Dress Like a Real Medieval Warrior

How to Dress Like a Real Medieval Warrior

Are you passionate about medieval aesthetics? Do you dream of donning chain mail, wielding a sword, and feeling like a true 13th-century knight? At Tienda Medieval, we help you transform into a true medieval warrior, whether for a fair, a cosplay event, a photoshoot... or simply for the pleasure of wearing history.

Here's how to put together your outfit step by step:

1. Choose your role: What kind of warrior do you want to be?

Before choosing pieces, define your style. Some popular options:

• Knight Templar

• Viking berserker

• Soldier of the Kingdom

• Mercenary or crusader

• Feudal Samurai (if you're interested in oriental things)

We have items from different periods of civilization!

2. The basic outfit: what goes under the armor

Every warrior starts with a comfortable base that allows for movement and protection from the friction of metal pieces.

• Medieval shirt: linen or cotton, loose and breathable

• Medieval leggings or trousers: with laces or belt

• Tunic or surtout: depending on the region and time period you choose

• High boots or leather shoes: rustic and resistant style

Don't miss out on these amazing items!

3. Protection: armor and key pieces

This is where the epic begins.

• Chainmail or padded vest (gambeson): protects the torso and absorbs impacts

• Pauldrons and bracers: leather or metal, for arms and shoulders

• Greaves or shin guards: to protect the legs

• Wide belt: where you can carry weapons or medieval bags

• Helmet: rounded, cross-shaped, nasal, helm-type... depending on your character

These armors are incredible!

4. Weapons: The Final Touch

You're not a warrior without a worthy weapon. Here are some options depending on your style:

• Longsword or two-handed sword

• Battle axe

• Mace or hammer

• Heraldic shield

• Secondary Dagger

5. Extra accessories that make a difference

• Cloak with brooch: noble or traveler style

• Leather gloves

• Medieval bag or satchel

• Templar amulet or cross

• Shoulder strap or baldric to carry your weapon

Don't miss our accessories!

6. Detail matters: posture, expression and attitude

Once you're dressed, get into character. Learn to pose like a warrior, walk with confidence, and if you're going to a fair or event, do a little research on your character's history so you can respond stylishly if someone asks you a question.
