Elegant Medieval Knight Costumes

Children love dressing up in costumes. Halloween is a special time for dressing up but you can also hold regular fancy dress parties or themed birthday parties. For boys one of the most interesting outfits is the knight costume.

There are plenty of movies that can spark the imagination of a child to want to wear a knight costume. The most recent are probably the Chronicles of Narnia series. These are great movies and books that have fascinated children ever since they were first published.

They have all the elements needed, like talking animals, witches, sword fighting, huge battles and armor. And the central characters are children that have a special role to play in the whole story. So if your kids have the chronicles of Narnia bug, how about getting the Prince Caspian costume or even the Sir Peter costume.

The Prince Caspian costume consists of a black tunic with the faux chain mail sleeves and hood. The faux chain mail is a polyester material that is light and comfortable to wear.

The Sir Peter costume is the officially licensed outfit from the movie. It also consists of a tunic/shirt of red with the Golden Lion coat of arms. Again faux polyester chain mail sleeves are comfortable but give a realistic look to the costume. Shoulder guards and helmet complete the look.

There are many other Knight, warrior and king costumes to please the kids. Maybe they have read about King Arthur and the Round table. They want to be Sir Lancelot and play at sword fighting with their pals. Check out some of these costumes as they are sure to fit the bill.

The valiant knight costume is a gray polyester fabric that forms the hood and sleeves to look like coarse or heavy chain mail. There are shin and shoulder guards and a blue tunic like top with gold piping.

The dragon slayer costume is inspired by the knights code of chivalry. Every Knight had to find their own personal Dragon to slay. This was more of a metaphor, I would guess, for a purpose  in life rather than an actual Dragon. As far as I know Dragons never really existed or maybe they were made extinct before my time by ardent knights like St. George. Anyhow the costume is a blast and sure to be a favorite with most kids.
