 Costume should say something about the character, reflecting their status, wealth, and aspirations in what they wear. Clothing is a popular topic of conversation and can be used to influence perceptions of characters. In general, leaguish citizens try to make things look more expensive than they are.

 '''Mask''': Masks are a common element of fashionable attire for individuals from all walks of life. Masks allow an individual to cultivate anonymity and the air of mystery. Some groups – military units and criminals especially – may go so far as to all wear matching masks even in dangerous situations. Masks can be made of any material, from papier mache through to lace and even mirrored glass. The most common style is a half-mask covering the upper face.

	While a guild's tent may be plain white canvas outside, inside it may look very different. Elaborate lighting designs and hanging drapes can be used to create a luxurious space, and folding tables and furniture are often covered with cloths and cushions. Some guilds, Camorras, and free companies will decorate their space with paintings and drawings of members, particularly deceased or notorious ones, and many also bring mirrors into the space- an important part of league hearth magic.

However, everyone knows that children grow quickly, and children's clothes are often simpler than adults. While few will admit to it, children's clothes are often made from leftover or offcuts of fabric.

	'''Full Shirt''': A light undershirt or chemise is the ideal baselayer. These can have a low neckline, and are often designed to complement the neckline of a doublet or gown. Off the shelf shirts in large sizes can be effective, and ideal chemises can be also be found to buy off the shelf. A modern peasant shirt might also work. Turned down collars are to be avoided if possible, as they tend to look too modern when worn with a doublet.		'''Full Shirt''': A light undershirt or chemise is the ideal baselayer.

	'''Tight Trousers''' Joined hose are the historical option, and modern thick leggings or tight trousers will also work. For the modern options, covering visible belt loops or an elasticated waist will improve the look. The trousers should fit in with the rest of the outfit, but tend not to be a focal point.

	~~{{CaptionedImage\|file=Emilio di Sarvos.jpg \|width=250\|align=left}}~~'''Doublet''': Making one from scratch makes a nice challenge for a beginner costumer, and can scale in difficulty to something incredibly complex. They can also be bought off-the-shelf from a variety of retailers. Look for doublets that stop at the natural waist, or have gathered skirts, rather than ones with tassets (flaps of cloth) or that go below the waist. The ideal waistline is straight, not pointed at the front. While there is a fashion of low necklines, high ones are also seen. Sleeves for doublets tend to be heavily slashed or segmented to show the undershirt or lining, and are often tied or laced in at the shoulders. Multiple layers of doublets are sometimes worn for warmth, and can be a striking look.

	'''Dress''': Gowns are tight bodiced, and tend to be high waisted, with waistlines fashionably worn under the bust, and almost never below the natural waist. A range of necklines are fashionable, from plain round ones, to square ones, to a deep V. Skirts are gathered or pleated into waistlines. Waistlines are usually straight, rather than pointed at the front. As with doublets, sleeves on Gowns are often slashed or segmented to show the layer underneath.

	'''Coat or Cloak''': Coats and gowns tend to be loose and flowing, with turned down collars. They are often worn open or unbelted where possible to show off the clothes below. They tend to fall from the shoulders, with tied in sleeves and false sleeves being popular. Cloaks of all kinds are popular for keeping off the weather, and often have decorative linings. Single shoulder or duellists cloaks are popular, more for fashion than warmth, as they are an effective way of showing off beautiful fabrics.		{{CaptionedImage\|file=Nessetta Constanta.jpeg\|width=400\|align=right}}'''Coat or Cloak''': Coats and gowns tend to be loose and flowing, with turned down collars.

	'''Rings''': Rings are very important in the League, representing loyalty and allegiances. Even if a character is not wearing any other jewellery, not wearing rings would be notable. They can be worn round the neck on a chain or ribbon as well as on the fingers.		'''Rings''': Rings are very important in the League, representing loyalty and allegiances.
