Renaissance fashion can seem pretty confusing at first. When I first started to look around for costumes to wear to the Renaissance Faire, I didn’t know what to pick because there were so many different looks and styles that I’ve seen and I was never exactly sure if what I was looking at was considered Renaissance or not. It turns out that there was a reason for that. People of different societal classes were only allowed to wear certain types of clothing. So I did a little more digging to make it just a tiny bit easier for the rest of you to choose an outfit for your next Renaissance Faire.

Spring is here and chances are a Renaissance fair will pop up in a town near you. One of our favorite local events is the SoCal Renaissance Faire which will return to the city of Irwindale, CA on April 2, 2016. If you’re wondering what all the hoopla is about, we’ve got a list of fun activities to do at a Renaissance fair. It’s a lot of fun for the whole family and they have activities for every age.

It’s time for another round of costume events for the month of September and all I have to say is, “Wow!” I don’t think I’ve ever seen the calendar packed with this many events. And best of all, there’s something for practically everyone! There are Renaissance fairs, anime conventions, steampunk gatherings, and even comic conventions.

There are a lot of cosplay events this month across the nation including two big events, San Diego Comic-Con and the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Kenosha, WI. As you know, we like to share with you costume ideas based on events that are happening around the country and today is no different...

If you’re looking for a great activity for the family, the Renaissance Pleasure Faire is a must! As Southern California’s largest and most popular Renaissance fair, it’s one of the most exciting events of the year. Their goal is to recreate what it was like to live in the “Old World” from the costuming, the speech, sceneries, and more which makes it not only whimsical and fun, but also educational!

It’s that time again! We’re back with more local costume events for the month of August. Here in California, there’s always a reason to celebrate in costume and this month is no different. Every weekend has a fun and exciting costume event going on. From Renaissance festivals to fan conventions, check out our calendar to see what’s happening in your neighborhood.

San Diego Comic-Con may have come and gone, but there are plenty of other Southern California cosplay events. As a Halloween retailer in the Los Angeles area, we’re no stranger to last-minute shoppers on their way to a cosplay event or costume party, so naturally, we know about almost all the local costume events...
