In regards the props/weapons tip: ALWAYS check your individual faire policy FIRST (usually posted on their website or social media - when in doubt: ask). Every faire, depending on state/county, may have different policies. Some faires allow weapons as long as they’re peace tied at the entrance, however some don’t even allow realistic toys, even if they’re plastic or foam. So check first!
The true challenge is building an outfit that you won't die of heat exhaustion in 😭
The answer is linen.
@@sh36Don't forget to wear long sleeves. (I still don't understand how wearing long sleeves doesn't make you burn up.)
Fabric that’s breathable helps wick away sweat from your skin, hence cooling you down.
That part
Ya, lets keep it real, when it's stupid hot, you gotta take that into account.
The puffy shirt is also very attractive in black.... I got a thing for Captain Hook in Once Upon A Time.
Oh yess! Not to mention Westley from Princess Bride 🙌
@@DressMeUpScotty yeeeees
Don’t we all?
@@kimahee I haven't met a person who doesn't have a thing for him.
I got my husband a black shirt and pants for Halloween(my kids wanted to be pirates) and he became a new person lol! He liked wearing it and I enjoyed the view. 😂
"Chances are, if you clicked on this video, you're..." looking for everyday inspiration. This is the delay vibe
There's a very large amount of middle eastern people living in the area I live. A lot of whom donate and shop local thrift stores. The amount of gorgeous dresses, tunics, pants, and scarves I have seen over the years is insane. Most are 100% cotton making them good for hot weather during faire season. They vary from simple solid colors, nice patterns, up to gorgeous beaded and trimmed pieces. All of these pieces are found in the women's dresses and women's pants, worth checking pjs and workout gear as some people place these items there as well. I have a super shiny gold tunic I bought last year (for only $12) that I plan to debut in a fancy elf outfit this year. As someone who dresses in 90% men's/unisex clothes I still check the women's sections when I need something for faire or cosplay. :) Great video thanks for thinking about us masc presenting individuals. :) Quick tip for faire weapons. Buy wooden weapons then paint them to look realistic/semi realistic. You'll still need to get them checked at the weapons stand and hand stamped before you go in but here in MI they don't peace tie wood, foam, or plastic pieces.
if you can't do a white puffy shirt do the black puffy shirt!!!
some other movie inspo- king Arthur, robin hood, sword and the stone, Elizabeth, Dungeons and Dragons, black sails, once upon a time
I was wondering if there would be a new video, and here we are! Your Ren Faire 101 videos are always very interesting to me. I hope to go to one in the future
Yeah I was taking a bit of a break before all the traveling and prep for that but I’m back!
This was interesting and looks easier than what women have to go through. My costume could follow the story line of a Medieval woman dressing to pass as a man so she can escape from the Barbarians and find her lover. Or some such, 😁
Butch fantasy enjoyer saying thank you thank you thank you!!! So many options/tutorials for "men"s ren faire looks are catered to looking as boring as is humanly possible so as to avoid offending men's sensibilities but this was really helpful. Really appreciate all the advice!
As a masculine person, THANK YOU
I wasn’t expected to be thirst trapped for 5 seconds during the white flowy shirt section, but here we are (and I’m happy to be here👀
Been waiting for the masculine edition!!!! 😊
I like a mix of fem and masc.
Playing around with different silhouettes and energies can be so fun. I sometimes don’t feel like dressing girly either. Need to make myself a knight outfit one of these days.
@@DressMeUpScotty that would me AMAZING Scotty!!!!
That white billowy short edit….damn
I love that idea of the lace-up men’s vest. I’m a girl but I would wear that - it just gives a different silhouette and I think that’d be cool
Also I would love to watch the video about dressing fantasy core for everyday
I have seen several Witchers at Ren faire.
This year, I sewed a hand embroidered tablecloth and runner my grandma passed down to me last year into a cloak with a hood.
I simply matched up the short edge of the tablecloth to itself and sewed about 6" from the corners inward with a ladder stitch.
I folded the runner in half (hamburger-style) and ladder stitched one side to itself to make a hood. I lined up the bottom of the hood along the top edge of the cloak and ladder stitched those together.
No cutting, no measuring, just a hidden stitch I can easily undo. It matches my mustard yellow dress so well you'd think it was planned!
Please please read “ Well Met” by Jen Deluca. The backdrop is literally a Ren Faire. The main girl is a Wench working the tavern. It’s such a cute book!
Just a heads up about prop weapons - check your ren fest's rules first, because ours doesn't even allow prop weapons!! Even though they sell both prop and real weapons at the faire 🤷♀️
Thank you for all the great advice! :) Random off topic question: what type of camera/settings do you use to record your videos on UA-cam? Jw because you do a great job with your editing & setup. Take care!!
3rd person here! Love your channel so much!
🥰😁
i’m dying to go to renfaire this summer!! but i’m in socal
Have you been to the Irwindale one in the spring? I’ve been meaning to get to that one. Haven’t had a chance yet.
@@DressMeUpScotty i haven’t been yet but the marketplace looks incredible
I would like to have a Malecifant vibe....
As a dude, get over going into the women's section of the goodwill. Great pants, belts and pouches. No one at a red faire has ever come up to me and said, "Dude, nice girl pants." What I do get is the, "Okay he's trying" nod of approval.
As a major note for guys, with a lot of the thrifting things, it doesn't work if you're already in the larger sizes there.
And there are several RenFaires that allow weapons, just tied in place there. Larp/Toy weapons can normally be left alone
@DressMeUpScotty where did you get that hoodie the second you said my hoodie I was like I need that!!!
Mens' fantasycore vid sounds great. Thanks for this!
I’m actually so confused. I never knew Pinterest was associated with gender by anyone. I use it heavily. Lol. I make all of my own clothes and garb and Pinterest gives so many great ideas.
Personally I've had good luck with Armstreet's linen items and mixed luck with their shoes (it was fine when I ordered a standard size, but not fitting when I ordered a custom sized shoe). As they ship from Ukraine, it does require some pre-planning (as in shipping can take months).
I wish there were more shops I could recommend, but I ended up getting really into sewing instead. So maybe consider learning to sew.
I am always big fan of fairy dress :) thanks for sharing amazing style! Love your videos
Your husband will look amazing in that waistcoat ❤
Hi, im new here, and i have something to add - LOOK FOR VESTS AT THE THRIFT STORE
mine always seem to have some really cool ones and i have to remind myself i don't actually wear literally any of the vests i own and therefore am not allowed to get them
the belts idea was solid I will be taking you up on that on my next thrift run
i havnt seen ur face in like 2-3 years it feels like and u have changed so much from what i remember its crazy.
so sorry if this has been asked but i couldn't ind it in the links in the bio. Where is the hoodie you're wearing from? 😇
Currently on a binge watch of your videos i've missed, your channel is such a comfort channel for me.
some people say its hard to shop at thrift stores for ren fair, but i say it just takes;
1.Being persisnt
2.Knowing when to go
3.Knowing where to look
So the two groups say the samething thing. It is hard to shop for ren fair at a thrift store.
Sending this to my man 🖤
Can you do a video when you do renfaire toy/play weapons diy
I just spent the day thrifting for specifically men’s garb. What are the odds?
Way overdue! Thank you!
When is the best time to go to a ren faire?
I'm not sure if you mentioned leggings, but they work great with a long tunic or puffy shirt and boots as well.
Yes to this!! I've searched so hard for something like this because I'm AFAB but just not into the frilly stuff, and lemme tell you there is such a vacuum out there for resources like this.
I'm also an avid thrifter and I convinced one of my friends to thrift with me for his garb for our first ren faire earlier this summer and we found exactly what you described - a flowy effeminate looking white satin shirt - in the women's nightwear of all places! He found pants too, and a blanket for a shawl, and that's just from two shops in one day.
For anyone else reading this, do know that as far as bringing weapons in, it does depend on where you are. I'm in the south and the two faires I've looked into/attended so far, weapons are allowed in from outside so long as they're peace-tied. Not sure how that is elsewhere in the US though, but I thought I'd mention it. Look into the specific rules for your faire before going, that will tell you for sure!
Adding to the weapons caveat, some places require guns to be painted bright orange around the muzzle so they are very obviously toys. I was very surprised when she said she could bring her very realistic looking gun in casually for pirate looks 😂 Always always always triple check between venue and local/state laws!
I’ll make a pinned comment about checking weapons/people policy on the Faire websites.
Glad to help! I had enough people ask that I felt like it would be good to have up here. I did a video ages ago on tiktok and it’s in my compilation, but I made it so long ago that I wanted there to be more of a comprehensive guide.
Also be sure to check my Pinterest if you’re looking for inspo. I linked to it in the description so if anyone is trying to build their own inspo board they can snag the images from the board I set up - I also added a subsection with female/femanine presenting individuals wearing more masculine garb since the majority of the main board is men and male presenting individuals.
Also I replied to the other comment but I made a pinned comment about the weapons policy because I forgot that it differs so greatly state to state and faire to faire.
Much appreciated as there's so few videos for us that dress masculine.
Funny thing is I watched this while getting dressed in my garb to go to a ren faire! 😂
Do you have a LTK page?
Can’t go wrong with a white flowing shirt 👌👌👌
what is the difference on a Canvas Tunic, Linen Tunic, and Cotton Tunic. I don't mind being hot actually. I'm wanting something that lasts price doesn't really matter unless it's over $100.
I make and wear linen tunics for larp, and have fallen in love with how good linen feels and how well it breathes. Cotton is also a good choice. You’ll roast alive in polyester, and for the life of me I don’t know why they make canvas tunics, they’re so thick and stiff. But those are just my preferences.
4:05 _took me out_ but you're so right!
first here wooooo
Early squad! ✨
❤
Oh yes. White shirt.
Headgear?❤
Heyo, my scrub recommendation! Wore some dyed scrub pants just earlier this month to a faire actually! Technically it was one I got for my brother to have a second pant option when picking his outfits, so it was an XXL (and I am a S/M in scrubs) and it was big on me. BUT! It was a drawstring waist so it easily cinched down to fit, and I just tucked the legs into some riding boots and let it poof out over top. Tied a sash around my waist to help disguise the extra bunching and BAM! Pirate look! (Wore a generic faire type shirt)
Honestly I almost feel a masculine look is easier to start off with when building an outfit, because feminine looks always seem to need more layers and textures in order to look "finished". For a masculine look you just need the pants, a shirt, a belt, and you're good. Anything else is just adding flair and visual interest, but as a base you're done and ready. If I do that for a feminine look (skirt, shirt, belt), I feel it looks unfinished and that I'm missing something (like a corset, a second skirt with skirt hike, bobs and bits to dangle on one's belt, other accoutrements). When I'm feeling lazy about putting together a faire look, I def go for a masculine outfit because I can throw it together with minimal thought effort.
100% agree with Scotty, the poet blouse does something to us gals!!!
Also, another great idea for dressing masculine is the power of a good hat or styling your hair a certain way. So if your hair is long enough to put back in a slick pony with a strand of leather. Or you can use a bandanna to go a little more pirate. That’s always super fun. Also, if you’re not comfortable with make up, maybe find a friend to help but the power of eyeliner or a fake scar or of a well-placed fake tattoo can also really dress up your look!✨
At the fair we usually go to, you can bring weapons but they have to be peace tied. They can peace tie them at the gate.
