Medieval Warrior Costumes for Men
Mens Medieval Warrior Costume
Okay fellows, lean in, have I got something to tell you: women like a little bit of an edge on their men. They just love a bad boy. Not all of the time, mind you, but every now and then, they want to cast aside their sweet and sensitive, modern guy and find a rough and ready beastie. Want to show her how you stack up on the beastie scale? Opt for medieval warrior costumes for men at your next costumed event or maybe just next Thursday for a little bit of a twist.
Medieval warrior costumes are perfect because they work for every man of every size- from the meek and mild accounting who longs to beat his chest and say “Kiss me, wench” to the big old biker who is really just a teddy bear in disguise and every guy in between. No one is going to question that you are a bad, bad beastie and you may actually get to use that line before the end of the night. (Tomorrow you can wash the dishes and buy roses, tonight you are a warrior, dammit.)
Starting with the basics of the medieval warrior costume for men: most feature a leather and chain mail looking tunic, however if you shop the higher end shops and online boutiques, you might find that the tunics do actually have some real metal involved in them for authenticity. The trousers are typically brown and are meant to look like leather as well, however there are versions that have black pants instead and still others that are actually tights (how tough do you have to be to wear tights, I ask you?) Whatever you do, do not slip on your favorite jeans or not only have you ruined a perfectly good costume but you will look like a dink as well. (The Queen of Halloween will laugh you right out of the party, I can promise you this.) Boots or plain black shoes are your best footwear choice here, not sneakers. If you grab your white kicks, you might as well be wearing bunny slippers.
Accessories are very important with this medieval costume and can include a helmet- look for options online, however make sure that you will be comfortable wearing your weaponry. Look for realistic, (but not too realistic, please) weapons that fit the time period. You know there is always some history buff that wants to point out your anachronisms to the rest of the party. If this does happen, do not feel compelled to go medieval on him and beat him over the head with your mace or whatever you are packing- just let it go. Medieval costumes for men are supposed to be the right choice for releasing your inner beastie, not getting you sent to jail!
