Items for a medieval knight costume

Thankfully when you dress up as a Medieval Knight, you don't have to actually wear a full metal suit of armor. You do need the basic parts though, unless you want to look silly. (If the whole shebang seems like too much of a commitment, consider going as a roman soldier - much less armor and you get to show some leg!) A medieval knight costume should be made up of several pieces of knight armor. The breastplate and the helmet are the largest pieces and the biggest attention grabbers but you must pair them with gauntlets, leg armor and a cod piece (for good measure) if you really want to pull off your Knight Halloween costume.
