The color palette is just as occasion-appropriate, with shades of black, chocolate brown, and maroon, and touches of metallics, gold, and ecru throughout.
Of course, no holiday look is complete without accessories, and Mango has you covered this season: Find long tulle gloves, mesh socks, leather heels, curved wedges, an elongated handbag with a metal top handle, and so much more.

Here ye, here ye! Gather round, for I have a wondrous tale of magic and mysticism to weave, of chivalry, of adventure, of romance… and of fall fashion. This season, we’re not looking forward for style inspiration, nor even to the very recent past — the trend cycle is turning to the Dark Ages, literally; we’re all going medieval.
I noticed the trend first taking shape at Rabanne. The brand’s spring/summer 2024 collection — a veritable feast of fringed, chainmail hoods — was an homage to the brand’s founder, Paco Rabanne, and the space age chainmail he first introduced in 1966.
Following suit, the fall/winter ‘24 runways eagerly took up the mantle. Consider, the armour-like corsets at Di Petsa, tunic-style dresses at Aniye Records, a chainmail headpiece made with keys at Dilara Findikoglu, and an ancient tapestry-inspired dress at Loewe. But it was Dior’s Resort ‘25 show that took it to the next level. Set at Drummond Castle in Perthshire, Scotland, models stalked through the gardens in lace-up corsets, cloaks, gothic-style gowns, chainmail knit dresses, leather arm braces, studded harnesses, and very literal Joan of Arc-style breastplates. It felt almost like Dior’s Creative Director, Maria Grazia Chiuri, was assembling her models for battle.
It’s not just the fashion world that’s obsessed. Pop culture is riding hard for all things medieval lately, too. Just take a look at the 2024 VMAs, where one pop megastar (ahem, Taylor Swift) donned one of Dior’s plaid, corseted high-low gowns, complete with lace-up leather arm braces and thigh-high boots, whilst another (Chappell Roan) dedicated her entire night to an array of medieval looks. Starting with a sheer, flowy Y/Project gown, Roan accessorised with a 300-year-old velvet robe, a massive crucifix pendant, dagger-like nails, fingerless chainmail gloves, gauntlet-style cuffs, and an actual sword. And, just to complete the fantasy, she was accompanied by an actual medieval-style bodyguard and a 600-year-old rug to walk on. (Because of course, why not? Chappell Roan doesn’t do anything by halves when it comes to fashion.)
Roan then took to the stage and took things up a notch, donning a full suit of armour to shoot a flaming crossbow and perform her hit, “Good Luck Babe”, with an assortment of armoured dancers. (She followed it by accepting an award for Best New Artist in a Rabanne chainmail dress and matching veil.)
Since all this is happening in the year 2024, the aesthetic has — of course — been granted a handy-dandy, social media-friendly nickname: You’ll see this trend referenced as either medievalcore, medieval weird core, or ‘weirdeval’ over on TikTok, popularised by accounts like @nichefashiongirl and @lauralaurachova. But, like most “cores,” it’s not a new sensation. There have been several resurgences. In the late ‘90s, there was the witchy whimsigoth aesthetic, heavily inspired by medieval fashion (see Jean Paul Gaultier S/S 1994, Betsy Johnson F/W 1997, and Anna Sui F/W 1998). Before that, a cultural obsession with Arthurian myth in the late ‘60s (see the rise of medieval, psychedelic folk rock, and films like 1967’s Camelot). Turn back the clock even further, to the mid-1880s, and the Pre-Raphaelites were calling back to the Middle Ages and chivalric romances in their art, poetry, and aesthetic ideals.
But why has medieval influence made its return now? Partly because, just as in the mid-1880s, late 1960s, and late ‘90s, we’re in a period of political change and upheaval. The Middle Ages were fraught with division, war, moral panic (saints versus sinners) and marked class divides (kings versus peasants). Fairy tales, folklore, high fantasy, and historical myth have long been accessible forms of escapism. Now, we just have the internet to make it even easier.
“‘Medievalcore’ represents a fusion of historical appreciation and escapist fantasy, tapping into the growing enthusiasm for LARPing (live-action role-playing),” explains Depop’s trends specialist and TikTok creator Agus Panzoni. “Additionally, pop culture has played a key role in the rise of medieval aesthetics, from HBO’s House of the Dragon to the viral success of the ACOTAR book series on TikTok, both introducing Gen Z to a blend of medieval history and fantasy.” According to Panzoni, searches for armour on Depop are up 128%, chainmail 127%, corsets 101%, and coifs — a medieval type of headpiece — up 833% since the start of the year.
Sydney Stanbeck, head of global trends and insights at Pinterest, agrees, noting that the platform has also seen searches for “Renaissance faire outfits” more than triple. More and more, users are shopping directly through pins, particularly for niche items like veils, handmade chainmail, replica armour, and medieval-style corsets — many of which can be found on crafter-to-customer sites like Etsy.
In a sense, medievalcore is the natural progression from the coquette aesthetic — the hyper-feminine, bow-and-ruffle-adorned styles that dominated 2023 — and interest in vintage fashion and period shows like Bridgerton. The difference is that, now, the high fantasy, high femme elven princess also has a sword — and knows how to use it. Medievalcore is beautiful but battle-ready, primed for a generation of young people fighting for reproductive rights and against gender violence. It’s a means to escape reality and a way to face it head-on.
Medievalcore is beautiful but battle-ready, primed for a generation of young people fighting for reproductive rights and against gender violence. It’s a means to escape reality and a way to face it head-on.
It’s no wonder why, then, we’re also witnessing renewed romanticism surrounding figures like Joan of Arc — who, technically lived through the early Renaissance, but medievalcore isn’t too particular about its references (rather, it’s like a smorgasbord of historical and fantasy references. You can cherrypick based on which ‘character’ you would like to embody).
“[She’s been] dubbed ‘The Patron Saint of Gen Z’ on TikTok, with searches for her on Depop up +484% from July to September,” Panzoni explains. In fact, it’s just been announced that Baz Luhrmann will be directing a new film about the teenage martyr. Unsurprisingly, Zendaya is way ahead of us — she dressed up as Joan of Arc for the 2018 Met Gala, the theme of which was ‘Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination’. But she’s not alone in the fan club; it’s practically a right of passage for cool girls to dress as Joan of Arc. Lorde did it in 2017, Chloë Sevigny in 2007, Fiona Apple in 1997, and Kate Bush in the 1980s. Most recently? Abigail Morris of The Last Dinner Party dressed as Joan of Arc for Halloween and Jenna Ortega described Joan as her dream acting role. (Fingers crossed Bad Luhrmann gives her a call!)
Naturally, I too want a slice of the medieval action — I mean, who doesn’t want to dress like a knight about to go into battle or an ethereal lady of the lake? And so, I took on my own quest, determined to find the very best medieval attire out there (or at least, medieval-inspired if the styling is right). Read on for all my most treasured discoveries. Of course, there’s plenty of costume inspiration here if you are desiring a true-to-character look, like Chappell Roan or Zendaya, but also plenty of styling tips for more subtle slayage. Consider this the ultimate guide to mastering the medievalcore aesthetic this fall and winter.
Medieval-inspired fashion
Mimic armour with light chainmail pieces, metallic knits & sequins
Naturally, any medieval knight worth a heroic ballad or two needs a set of armour. Unfortunately, a full set of clanking metal is not only impractical but also sure to raise some eyebrows (like in that picture of Fiona Apple). Instead, mimic the appearance of armour and chainmail with molten metal pieces, lightweight metallic knits, draped chains, and sequins.
Fantasy & medieval tapestry motifs (hint: look for unicorns)
One of the most iconic and recognisable motifs of medieval art is the unicorn, a symbol of purity and chastity most notably seen in “The Unicorn Tapestries”. A subtle way to nod to your medieval inspirations is to dress with similar iconography. Luckily, plenty of modern-day designers are also inspired by the mythical creature, from Selkie’s The Last Unicorn collection to Samantha Pleet’s Coat of Arms corset.
You can’t go wrong with velvet in a rich jewel tone
Imagine a medieval queen. What is she wearing? I bet you’re envisioning a sweeping gown in a rich, sumptuous velvet. The color? A bold jewel tone like emerald green, ruby red, sapphire blue, or amethyst purple. Of course, in reality, most medieval women probably wore simple wool dresses in neutral tones, but this is fantasy and you don’t need to limit yourself. For a more wearable take, consider a velvet blouse or jacket — it’ll add a regal touch to even the most basic of outfits.
Don a hood or hooded dress for an air of mystery
Hoods were a vital part of medieval fashion. For knights, armoured ones shielded them from weapons, whilst thick woollen ones provided protection from the elements. Since we no longer have to contend with rogue arrows and long, treacherous journeys on foot anymore, opt instead for a 2024-appropriate sheer knit dress or silky top. Perfect for your next party, too!
It’s all about the sleeves: from puff ball & Juliet designs, to extra wide, flowing bell silhouettes
When it comes to medievalcore, sleeves are big business. From big and puffed to long and flowing, just make sure yours make a statement. My personal favorite? The Juliet style, so named for the titular Shakespeare character. These are puffed and round at the top and slim through the arm.
Cloaks, capes & ponchos for all your perilous quests
Take inspiration from Lord of the Rings characters Arwyn and Éowyn here. Of course, they’re not donning a parka or trench coat over their gowns and armour — they’re wearing flowing velvet capes and warm woolen cloaks to battle Orcs and creep through moonlit forests. Why not do the same, even if you’re just popping out for a sweet treat and coffee?
Drop-waist dresses
Over the summer, we noticed that the drop-waist dress had made a comeback, but in a chic, modern way — in light linen and bright, fresh shades apt for a European city break. For a medievalcore riff on the silhouette, you want a deep, dark color palette and sumptuous fabrics like satin, the likes of which you imagine an ancient queen to wear as she presides over her kingdom.
Necklines: square & off-the-shoulder
A major part of the glamour and magic of a medieval-style gown is the neckline. Probably the most commonly thought of is the square neck, but I urge you to look to characters like Morgana Pendragon from the BBC’s Merlin or Game of Thrones’ Cersei and Margaery Tyrell to inspire your fall silhouettes. They often wore beautiful off-the-shoulder dresses that showed off their jewels (remember, this is a historically-inspired aesthetic to cherry-pick from, not a factually accurate costume competition).
Corsetry & lace-up details
Corsets have been a fashion mainstay for a while now, fueled by period dramas like Bridgerton. A medievalcore outfit needn’t be as straightlaced as a regency-inspired one, though — a linen dress or blouse with lace-up detailing on the bust recalls the inner tunics medieval women would wear under their gowns.
Medieval-inspired jewelery, shoes & accessories
Headpieces, headbands & chainmail-inspired hoods
Accessories can play a major role in transforming your everyday wardrobe into medievalcore attire, headgear especially. Perhaps most recognisable is the cone-shaped hat women would wear called a Hennin, made to replicate the silhouette of a steeple. It seems modern designers are keen to bring these back: In his Spring/Summer ‘25 collection, Conner Ives paired his very own Hennin with jeans and pointed-toe sandals. A more wearable alternative would be an ornate headband — or, if you want to toughen up your outfit, a chainmail hood. (Knit options are also great for bearing the cold.)
Body chains & chainmail bodywear
Intricate body chains or chainmail bodywear can transform even the most basic of dresses into a warrior princess get-up. I’ve spent hours daydreaming about the beautiful creations by Falconiere, which combine traditional chainmail with modern designs like halter neck bralettes, mini skirts, and girdles. (These chainmail tights the brand has been teasing on its socials are my Roman Empire).
Chainmail-inspired bags
Another easy, subtle way to nod to armour is with a chainmail bag. Consider pairing your holiday partywear with one of these rather than your typical sequin bag — high-shine but with a rough and ready edge.
Medieval-inspired jewelery: Joan of Arc swords, ancient gemstones & rustic gold pieces
Whether you’re slaying dragons or facing modern-day demons (trying to connect to the printer, doom-scrolling, resisting another cup of coffee…), arm yourself with jewelery. Or just dress yourself in ornate jewels and gleaming gold that could be part of said dragon’s hoard.

As far as controversial shoe trends go, this year has seen plenty, from the boat shoe revival to the clog’s definitive fashionification. Now, another love-to-hate-it shoe has won over the most stylish — and influential — tastemakers: Clarks Originals’ Wallabees. In October, fashion search engine Lyst ranked the shoe as the ninth “hottest product” of the last three months in its quarterly report (which filters millions of items including social media mentions, searches, and sales) and noted it as a “key shoe style” among Gen Z shoppers.
The Wallabee is a simple yet distinct moccasin-style shoe crafted out of leather and suede. After launching in the 1960s, the style’s popularity has traversed from its UK origins to Jamaica’s streetwear scene, where the brand was a mainstay as a result of colonization and emigration between the countries. After a wave of Jamaican immigrants moved to the U.S. in the ’80s, Wallabees became popular within New York City’s hip-hop set, with endorsements from the likes of Notorious BIG and the Wu-Tang Clan. While its popularity cooled off in the last few decades, the shoe never really left the mainstream’s consciousness. Today, Wallabees come in tons of silhouettes — the classic ankle-high boot and a high-top version, a loafer, Mary-Jane, and a platform iteration — and colors.
Depop noted a 39% global increase in searches for Clarks Wallabees this year, plus 46% more queries for the brand in general. The site credits Clarks’ buzzy designer collaboration with Martine Rose for the uptick in interest. (Searches for the capsule rose by 233% since August.) Rachel Makar, senior director of merchandising at StockX, also points to last spring’s Supreme x Clarks collaboration — which features patent leather Wallabees and is currently selling at a 23% price premium on the site — as another reason for the recent resurgence in popularity. “The collaboration with Supreme demonstrates the power of partnerships to resonate with a new generation,” Makar tells Refinery29.
It has indeed been a busy few years for Clarks collaborations. In 2022, Clarks and Moncler launched limited-edition Wallabees that incorporated the latter’s signature shearling and padded nylons. In August, Tyler the Creator’s label Golf Wang released pastel Wallabees with heart prints. For its spring/summer 2025 showcase, London brand Ancuta Sarca reworked Wallabees into custom heels.
“Clarks Originals has repositioned itself to cater to its Gen Z audience,” Brittany Nichol, a 25-year-old TikTok creator who has posted outfit videos in her maple suede Wallabees, says. “They’re collaborating with cool brands and adapting its image to be more of a lifestyle and aesthetic, rather than just a product.” (While these collaborations are successfully luring in a new generation of customers and solidifying Clarks’ continued place in the fashion world for those already familiar with the brand, these efforts are likely part of a larger turnaround strategy for the brand, which reported losses of almost £40 million last year.)
“I first came across Clarks when I was younger because my dad had a pair. Then as I got older, I rediscovered them through Breaking Bad. I thought they were pretty cool,” twenty-two-year-old TikTok creator Victoria Martin tells Refinery29, referring to the Wallabees often worn by Bryan Cranston’s character, Walter White. Martin has posted several videos featuring her Clarks, including a recent unboxing of leopard print Wallabees, and a collage of her six-pair collection (which has 433,000 views and counting).
Aside from its buzzy collabs and nostalgia factor, there is also the construction of the shoe. “At the moment I haven’t found any shoes that are more comfortable than Wallabees,” Martin says. “That’s really the reason why the majority of my shoes are Clarks.” Similar to other Gorpcore styles that have come back in popularity over the last few years (see: Birkenstock, Ugg, Crocs), Clarks has also developed a so ugly-it’s-cool, cult status on social media — thriving off its practical brand, tongue-in-cheek reputation for producing school- and work-regulated shoes (thanks to its prevalent use of padded footbeds, nondescript branding and a healthy dose of Gore-Tex). “I’ve been a customer of Clarks ever since I started school because they’re one of the most popular school shoe brands here in Australia,” Nichol says.
With the style continuing to go viral on TikTok, the Lyst findings are probably just the beginning of Wallabee’s upward swing. Nichol only has one pair of maple suedes, although she’s eager to share her extensive wish list. “I’m currently deciding between the Wallabee Gore-Tex in black, the Wallabee T Bar in maple suede, or the Wallabee in blush pink suede,” she says.
At the same time, Nichol admits the style isn’t always a hit. “When I wear my Clarks there, I do get some funny looks. But it’s mostly from old men who are probably confused about why we have matching shoes.”

I received these pajamas as a gift earlier this year and love how light and soft they are. Plus: They come in a bunch of different colorways and at a great price point.
Nordstrom Moonlight Eco Short Pajamas, $, available at Nordstrom
Jewelry Box
This decadent heart-shaped jewelry box (which can double as a bag) is for the youngest luxe-loving giftee on your list — unless you want to borrow it, that is. If your recipient’s jewelry collection isn’t big enough yet to fill the box (or if you're looking for a gift under $50), look to Super Smalls' Disney collection which includes necklace and earring sets for the Frozen and Moana repeat viewers.
Super Smalls Traveling Heart Purse and Jewelry Box, $, available at Super Smalls
Leather Makeup Bag
A heart-shaped case for the grown-ups. Since launching last year, Cuyana's travel roll has become my go-to makeup bag for the way it keeps my beauty essentials organized. This case offers a more affordable — and adorable — alternative.
For the at-home cook, the first delivery from the subscription set from premium olive oil brand Graza includes a Sizzle (cooking oil) and a Drizzle (an oil for salad dressings, bread, etc.) bottle, two refill cans, and a funnel. Subsequent deliveries — which you can arrange to be delivered monthly or every two or three months — will include the refill cans. You can also opt for a one-off purchase of the gift set, as well as other items like olive oil-flavored granola.
Graza The Starter Kit Subscription, $, available at Graza
Sweater
No artist has exploded more into the mainstream’s consciousness in 2024 than Chappell Roan. Mark the Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess era with a sweater from Lingua Franca, the brand known for its high-quality sweaters with witty sayings. For the ultimate luxe pick, consider using Lingua Franca's custom service, which can transform your photos or hand-drawn pictures into embroidered designs. Think: cashmere crewnecks featuring your pet, your children's drawings, or an outline of your childhood home.
Lingua Franca Midwest Princess Sweatshirt, $, available at Lingua Franca
Luxe Body Set
Another gift I loved receiving this year was this body wash-and-lotion set, which features the same scent as my go-to perfume. It made my everyday shower routine feel like a spa treatment. I was genuinely sad when I used the shower gel to the last drop.
Byredo Le Corps Mojave Ghost Body Wash and Body Lotion Gift Se, $, available at Bergdorf Goodman
Hoop Earrings
You can never go wrong with a good-quality hoop earring. For proof, see this mixed-metal pair from Jennifer Fisher, a brand known for its hoop styles, named after stylist Nicole Chavez who counts Kristen Bell and Rachel Bilson as clients. Another favorite: Hailey Huggies, a go-to for, yes, Hailey Bieber.
Jennifer Fisher Chavez Huggies, $, available at Jennifer Fisher
Quality Socks
For those who like to receive socks in their stocking, this trendy burgundy pair is from the brand that makes some of the best. Comme Si also offers options in cashmere and wool, as well as gift box sets, if you’re looking to get even more fancy.
I’ve long been a fan of this magic potion botanical-infused serum for the way it nourishes and hydrates my skin during the harshest winter months, and will save up to buy it (or happily receive it as a gift) come cold-weather season. If your wallet allows, consider splurging on the Ultimate Set — in addition to the serum, it features a cleanser and an essence — which has visibly improved my parched skin and made it radiant after a few weeks of use alone.
Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum, $, available at Revolve
Quirky Homewares
All of the homewares from Gohar World can double as quirky decor. These fanciful mitts would make a perfect gift for a bougie host, as would the fried chicken candles, baguette bag, and a hand-adorned apron.
Gohar World Yellow Host Gloves, $, available at SSENSE
Sneakers
After being introduced to APL’s Zipline sneakers a few years ago, they are now the only shoe I work out in. Not only is the silhouette incredibly comfortable regardless of whether you’re running or doing a HIIT workout, but it also looks sleek thanks to the knit upper and comes in many different colors (which might explain why I frequently wear them out when I am not exercising, too).
While these lip balms have gone viral, and for a good reason — they are fun to personalize, they are great at hydrating the lips, and they make for a thoughtful gift — you don’t have to fly to Paris and wait in line to get your hands on one.
Don’t have the financial means to take your jet-setting bestie to Greece? Transport them to Mykonos — or Ibiza, Marrakech, or Tulum — mentally via this candle. Tip: Keep the holder that makes for fun decor and a knickknack container when you're done burning the candle.
Assouline Mykonos Muse Travel From Home Candle, $, available at Shopbop

Alternatively, you can get the brand’s Glow Stick Sunscreen, which can fit in any stocking and purse and be used for on-the-go applications.

Another great stocking stuffer idea, this Summer Fridays product (which also comes in a mini version) is a travel must-have for the way it quickly rehydrates the skin. Use it as a mask after a flight or leave it on as a moisturizer for a fresh-looking-looking complexion the next day.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer, $, available at Sephora
Boxer Shorts
Boxer shorts will continue to trend next year, and these ones from Hommegirls are the fashion-insider favorite. For those who prefer more coverage or are committed to a capsule wardrobe life, this shirt from the brand is a favorite of Jenna Lyons.

Mug
This mug was one of my favorite gifts I received last year thanks to its sturdy construction and bright colorway (I got mine in yellow). Created by East Fork, an Asheville-based pottery company, this season's holiday offerings, which also include bowls and plates, come in a "Henri Matisse red."
East Fork Mug in Henri's Red, $, available at East Fork
Organic Cotton Pajamas
Another gift I loved receiving last year, these pajamas are from sustainable fashion brand Mara Hoffman. The set, made from 100% organic cotton, provides the winter coverage I look for (pants, long sleeves), while still remaining light and breathable. Bonus: They are currently on sale!

A Luxe Ornament
An exquisitely delightful ornament for your most fashion-y friend, this bauble is made in collaboration between luxury house Loewe and Kyoto-based ceramic studio Suna Fujita and also comes in penguin, panda, seal, and otter shapes.

Leather Makeup Bag
Since launching earlier in the year, Cuyana's travel roll has become my go-to makeup bag for the way it keeps my beauty essentials organized (and my makeup brushes clean as a result of a genius leather lining flap!). The brand's heart-shaped case offers a more affordable — and adorable — alternative.
Year after year, the Arizona slide remains everyone’s favorite “ugly shoe.” Help the Birkenstock fan in your life upgrade their go-tos that have seen better days with a shearling-lined pair.

Fashion Candle
We all have that person who doesn't believe in having too many candles.
