The History of Viking Clothing and Norse Garments

Perhaps best known for living in the cold expanses of Northern Europe, the Norse needed warm and functional viking clothing. However, that doesn’t mean they neglected style. Vibrant colors were a regular staple for both men and women. Men wore trousers, tunics, and undershirts, while women traditionally wore long linen chemises with wool apron overdresses. Garments of linen and wool were typically layered to ward against frigid winter weather.

Materials and Craftsmanship – What Viking Clothes Were Made Of

Historically accurate Viking clothing was made using natural materials like wool and linen. These fabrics were ideal for the cold climate of Northern Europe, offering both warmth and breathability. Our garments reflect this tradition – many pieces are made of cotton or wool blends, designed to keep you warm and dry during outdoor events, reenactments, or festivals.

Natural dyes and handwoven fabrics defined the look of Viking clothes. Details like embroidery, braiding, and sturdy stitches added both functionality and beauty to every Viking garment.

Layering Like a Viking – How to Keep Warm in Norse Style

Among the Vikings, layering wasn’t just a fashion choice – it was essential for survival. A linen underdress or tunic paired with a woolen overdress, a cloak for added warmth, and wool winingas around the legs kept Viking women and men comfortable through the long winters.

For a historically accurate look that also provides warmth and protection, try pairing your Viking tunic with a hooded cowl and real viking trousers. You’ll find many of these authentic Viking clothing items right here in our Norse Collection.

What Did Vikings Wear? Clothing Styles Across the Viking Age

The Viking Age offered many different styles across regions and centuries. Men's Viking clothing often included long-sleeved tunics, trousers tied with leather belts, and cloaks fastened with ornate brooches. Women wore apron dresses over chemises, often adorned with embroidery and beads to reflect wealth and power.

Each Viking costume tells a different story – whether you’re dressing as a humble settler, a seasoned warrior, or a wealthy trader. Our collection includes versatile items to match every status and character type.
