EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: English Costume in the Year 1400: A Glimpse into Medieval Fashion 2. Description: This evocative image transports us back to the medieval era, showcasing the distinctive English costumes of the year 1400. The meticulously crafted attire worn by both men and women reflects the opulence and intricacy of the Gothic period. 3. Men's Attire: The man in this photograph is depicted wearing a doublet, a fitted jacket with sleeves that have apertures, or slits, allowing for greater freedom of movement. He also dons buskins, high-heeled shoes with a protective covering that reached up to the knee, often used for riding or hunting. A pouch and dagger are attached to his belt, signifying his readiness for combat or protection. Completing his ensemble is a brimless hat, which was a popular headgear choice during this time. 4. Women's Attire: The woman in the photograph is dressed in a cote-hardie, a close-fitting undergarment that was worn beneath other outer layers. Her sideless surcoat, trimmed with ermine, is an elegant and luxurious outer garment, often reserved for the nobility. The houppelande, a long, flowing gown, is worn over the surcoat, and is cinched at the waist with a cushion, a fashionable accessory that added volume to the wearer's figure. Her headdress is adorned with a horned, padded design, which was a common choice for medieval women. 5. Accessories: Both the man and woman in this image are accessorized with items that were popular during the medieval period. The man wears spurs, which were attached to the heels of his buskins to aid in riding, while the woman wears a veil, which was worn for both practical and fashionable reasons. 6. Conclusion: This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the English costumes of the year 1400, providing a window into the opulent and intricate fashion of the Gothic period. The attention to detail and historical accuracy make this image an essential addition to any collection of medieval art or fashion.
