This outfit is inspired by the medieval plague doctor. We've put our own spin on this.

Face mask

The plague doctors wore special clothing designed to protect them from the disease. The beaked nose of their mask was filled with strongly scented substances such as herbs, flowers or vinegar. It was believed at the time that the plague was spread by bad air, so these scents were used to purify the air and protect the doctor.

Clothing

Their long robe covered the whole body. The colors red and white were in some cases associated with medieval physicians and surgeons. Red was often associated with the blood and human body, while white was associated with cleanliness and purity. However, there were no strict uniforms or standard dress for these professions.

Belt

A belt is an essential part of the outfit, as it allowed the doctor to hang pouches of medicines and other medical supplies.

Bottle

Plague doctors usually prescribed herbal preparations as medicines, but the success of these treatments was limited. They also used other methods such as bloodletting, administering laxatives, and using prayers and religious rituals. Leeches were also sometimes used to draw "bad blood" from the body, as this was believed to cure disease.

Plague staff

The plague doctor used a stick or a staff to examine patients without making direct contact. The disease was believed to be spread through physical contact. It also allowed the doctor to keep people at a distance.

Fur collar

The fur collar provides an extra dramatic effect.

Boots

Because as much of the body as possible had to be covered, we opted for a pair of matching high boots.

Gloves

The plague doctors usually wore leather gloves. These leather gloves were intended to protect their hands from direct contact with bodily fluids or other potentially infectious materials and to cover any nicks or cuts.
