Costumes and Decorum at Bicolline

The dreaded question: are my clothes Bicolline appropriate? (Spoiler: they probably are!)

General Decorum at Bicolline

So, first things first:
There is no official costume check, decorum pass, or "Fashion Inquisition" at Bicolline. You're not going to get kicked out by a decorum cop because your tunic is 5% too polyester or your boots have a visible zipper. That said, decorum is taken seriously, worst case scenario, you might be asked by a Bicolline official to change your outfit if it is deemed too modern or REALLY out of place, but that's a rare occurrence.

Instead, it's all community driven. Think peer pressure. People will absolutely spot a modern hoodie or a pair of neon pink Nikes from across the camp and give you "the look". Not out of malice, but because most people work really hard to keep the immersion alive. The vibe is less "you're doing it wrong" and more "hey, here's how to make it even better." People help each other level up their kits all the time.

But that doesn't mean you might not get judged, especially if you show up in a costume that looks like it was bought at a Halloween store, or simply wearing some obviously modern clothing. If you're genuinely trying to fit in and have fun, most people will appreciate the effort.

So... What Should You Actually Wear?

You need to be in LARP clothing. That means anything from historical medieval outfits to high fantasy armor, depending on your character or group. The golden rule I like to use is this:

If your outfit would fit in Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Frieren, or a solid medieval documentary, you're probably good to go.

That means no visible logos, no sportswear, no bright plastic accessories, no modern sunglasses. But you can absolutely wear things that are magical, exaggerated, gritty, ornate, or just straight up badass. Want to be a weathered knight with a dented breastplate? Go for it. A wandering mage in embroidered robes? Hell yes. A tavern wench, a pirate queen, a Viking berserker, or a fantasy mushroom druid? All valid.

Just make sure your materials and colors feel grounded. Earth tones and natural fabrics are always a win. Leather, wool, linen, and faux furs go a long way. And even if you're on a budget or just starting out, people appreciate effort. A simple tunic and belt can go a long way when you pair it with the right attitude.
