A list of commonly referred to and controversial clothing styles in the SCA
Some of these are misnomers, unrepresentative of the breadth of clothing of the medieval period, or are often poorly reproduced. However, they are the style names current in Lochac, and a beginner costumer will often encounter them. A good glossary of such terms (in their many uses) can be found at hte following external link: [Carlson's "Some Clothing of the Middle ages; Glossary"]

- Burgundian
- Norman bliaut
- Italian Renaissance - actually refers to a variety of substyles, all of which have in common
