Gothic style in the clothes of the Middle Ages went from the French, during the revelry of the "Dark Age". Gothic is a "frightening majesty", and it fits well with the descriptions of the gloomy style. So, the Gothic style represents a certain severity and minimalism . Dresses are sewn on a figure, but still it is emphasized due to lacing.
Clothing of medieval Europe
In the clothes of both men and women, such elements as jagged edges in dresses, a high waist with lacing, and also head-dresses of pointed form, and with the same sharp-pointed shoes were accented. The fashion includes long raincoats for men and loops for women. It is worth noting that the longer the woman had a train, the higher position she was in society. Gothic clothing in the Middle Ages assumed the use of such a fabric as velvet, but as the coloring prevailed bright colors and floral ornaments. Black color, popular for modern Gothic, in those days was not relevant.
Medieval women's clothing was a cat and a kamizu. A cat is a narrow top, a wide skirt and lacing. As mentioned before, the elongated waist was the main sign of the Gothic style. On the skirt should be a train, and the skirt itself consisted of folds. It was very fashionable to have a draped cloth in the abdomen. The sleeves of the dresses could be either narrow or wide. They were decorated with inserts from other fabrics, fur or bell, covering the thumb of the hand. As the outer clothing used semi-circular or round raincoats with buckle in the form of a buckle on the chest. Also one of the elements of the Gothic style of clothing in the Middle Ages was a headdress. Women wore a gorge, which in appearance resembled a pipe that had a rear incision and an enlarged width downwards. The hill was made of cloth. In addition, the ladies wore "two-horned" cap.
