On the cutting edge of making history...
Fashion in Denmark during the late Viking Age was a transformative time for all those involved. During this time, men were still wearing the old-style trousers of their ancestors, but they were also adopting the separate-leg Hosen which would be come the norm for the rest of the Medieval Period. Tunics were still rather short and fitted, however, finds have shown that the long, flowing ones were also beginning to take hold. These transitions in fashion (and culture) created a truly unique visual that likely wasn't seen again in such stark detail until the fashions arose from post-Plague Europe in the later half of the 14th Century.
