Walking the convention floor surrounded by dozens of other impressively crafted costumes can be intimidating. With so many cosplayers vying for attention, how do you make sure your medieval body armor ensemble stands out from the pack?

While accuracy is important, that alone won't necessarily catch the eyes of the judges. Most cosplayers focus on recreating every tiny historical detail with flawless precision. But to truly shine above the rest, your armor needs that extra special something to make it memorable.

This blog post will be revealing the three secrets that can take your medieval armor cosplay from average to award-winning. These undercover tactics will have convention-goers and judges doing double takes as you walk by. Keep reading to discover the tricks that will have everyone remembering your name!

Secret #1: Elaborate Metalwork Details

While historical accuracy in armor design is important, don't forget that first and foremost this is a costume meant to be seen from a distance. That's why extra embellishments on the metalwork can give your armor that added “wow” factor needed to truly stand out.

That’s why you need to buy our Metallic Cursed Black Knight Medieval Gauntlets.

Their small details like engraved patterns, filigree accents and decorative inlays will draw the eye from several feet away, leaving onlookers wondering how you achieved such an intricate design.

The metalworking details just take it to the next level. Intricate designs like these will leave judges and fellow con-goers impressed by the level of craftsmanship.

Secret #2: Vibrant Colors or a Unique Paint Scheme

While historical accuracy in armor design favors more muted and realistic tones, an armor with bold colors will truly make your costume pop. Vibrant hues and eye-catching patterns are more likely to stand out in a crowd compared to plain steel or leather armor.

That’s why, for our Cursed Black Knight Medieval Cuirass, we opted for shades like dark black with pure brass embellishments. You can also get creative with it by incorporating ombre effects, abstract patterns, or even incorporating your heraldry or personal colors for this cuirass. It will give a new life to your armor.

What our customers love most about this Cuirass is how adjustable it is. You can attach The gorget’s authentic leather strap located on the chest and upper back area of the cuirass and adjust it according to your height. Also, we have it available in 3 different sizes!

So remember: Unusual color choices for your armor will draw attention your way as you walk the convention floor. Remember - it's not a reenactment, it's cosplay, so express your personal style and don't be afraid to color outside the lines!

Secret #3: An Impressive Accessory or Prop

Now that you've stood out with intricate metalwork and eye-catching colors, it's time to take your armor cosplay to the next level with an over-the-top accessory or prop.

Judges and onlookers will do a double take at the warrior wielding an outsized Templar Replica Saber Sword or carrying a massive Templar Knights Shield emblazoned with their cross.

You can also impress with our Cursed Black Knight Functional Armor Helmet, Pauldrons and Leg Armor to complete your look!

Take props like banners, musical instruments or fantastical accessories that will make convention-goers stop and stare.

With such a statement piece, your armor cosplay is guaranteed to live long in the memory of all those you pass on the convention floor. So don't be afraid to go all out - bigger is better when it comes to standing out from the crowd!
