Medieval is a historical aesthetic drawn from the Middle Ages, its long gowns, knights, castles, and Gothic elements, romanticizing the European feudal period from the 5th to the 15th centuries. Brocade or velvet tunics are the core garment. Surcoat-style dresses cover the same ground. Flowing cloaks go over the top. Leather belts with pouches cinch the waist. Lace-up boots go below, with chainmail-inspired jewelry throughout.
