what are the clothes from gothic age?

Question

i would like to know what kind of clothes the people used in that age....

Answer 1

There really isn't a period of history called 'the Gothic age'. There is a style of architecture called Gothic, which was prevalent around the 12/13th centuries in Europe. There was a neo Gothic revival in Victorian England. The Goths - or Visigoths - were one of the 'barbarian' tribes which contributed to the downfall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century. There has been a 'Goth' style of dress amongst teenagers for the last 10-15 years.

Answer 2

There was never a Gothic Age. Gothic refers to a tribe of "barbarians" from what's now Eastern Germany. They patently did NOT wear a lot of black with black fingernails and eyeshadow.

They wore whatever fashionable barbarians wore in the fifth century of the common era.

Gothic architecture was called that because the Renaissance Italians thought it was a barbaric style, compared to the style Michaelangelo was producing at that time. The 12th century cathedral at Cologne is "Gothic."

Gothic fiction is where the so-called goth style comes from. The term in that context comes from the Gothic revival architecture that was a reaction to the classical architecture re-popularized during the late Renaissance and 17th century "Age of Reason." Britain's Houses of Parliament are examples of Gothic revival architecture.

Answer 3

"Gothic" is a term more often applied to architecture and art in northern Europe between, roughly, 1150 - 1500 (post-Romanesque and pre-Renaissance). The websites below will give you some information and an illustration of medieval clothing:
