Viking Clothing

Viking clothing was practical and suited to their environment, often made from wool, linen, and animal hides. Men typically wore tunics, trousers, and cloaks for warmth and mobility, while women wore long dresses with aprons and head coverings. Layering was essential for protection against cold and rain. Clothing was often decorated with embroidery or jewelry to indicate status. Accessories like belts, brooches, and capes complemented their gear. Viking attire balanced function and style, reflecting their seafaring, warrior, and craftsmanship lifestyles, while also adapting to the Nordic climate and social distinctions.
