Pirate Fashion


Hester

Recommended Posts

Well, ever since punk designer Vivienne Westwood outfitted Adam & the Ants, pirate imagery has been part of high-end and mainstream fashion:

So, what's the best piece (or pieces) of pirate fashion in your everyday wardrobe (Ren. Faire garb excluded)?

For me, it would be my new bermuda-length white denim shorts trimmed with 2" wide metallic gold ribbon on the cuffs and pockets.

... paired with my cream & black striped Ralph Lauren cami.

Cheers, Hester

Boy Hester, how did I miss this thread?!?!?! It's right up my alley!

Mine is probably this red satin set of stays based on an original from the 1740s. Kinda cunning, don't you think?

Your question was asking about "everyday" wardrobe, right? In that case, I have no pirate themed item.

However, as an accessory, I attached a PotC "cursed Aztec gold coin" as a fob on my pocket watch. I have that on me everyday.

As far as my pirate gear goes, it has to be my coat... shown in the picture below...

My best outfit's a wee bit minimal, bein' as i've not had much in the way of funds, but i have managed to come across a few items that work pretty well together.

the outfit consists of a black McKay Tricorn over a plain green bandanna,

black button shirt with the sleeves rolled, jeans (alas, i've not yet found a good pair o' pirate strides) and black boots.

the 'Street Pirate' look, if you will. ;)
