Finding 
buried 
treasures 
and
conquering islands are things that
pirates do best. Pirates are so
interesting that even their pirate attire
is the talk of the town. If you’re
planning to dress up as a pirate for a
costume party and you don’t know
how to dress like a pirate with regular
clothes, we can help you.
You’ve probably seen pirates in movies
and plays. However, do they look as
similar as the real-life ones? Find out
here. Discover the clothes that pirates
wear and more.
What’s the Influence Behind the Pirate
Wear of Captains?
Would you believe that pirate clothes
are influenced by what gentlemen
wore in the 1700s? The combination
often includes a vest, a suit, a shirt,
and a coat. Pirates also wore these
with tight and short pants. Pirates
wore baggier clothes back 
then
compared to modern garments. Pirates
use cloth tied around their neck and
tucked in front of their vest, similar to
neckties today.
They also wore black and wide hats to
protect them from the sun’s heat,
similar to men in the middle class
from the 1700s. It also became the
pirate attire of captains. Over time,
common sailors could upgrade their
pirate wear by stealing clothes from
ships they conquered.
What’s the Pirate Attire of Common
Sailors?
You can distinguish a common sailor
from a pirate captain through how
they look. Common sailors dress more
casually than pirate captains. Not only
because they cannot afford to have
better clothing, but it also makes it
difficult to do their chores. Common
sailors are responsible for 
lifting
heavy cargo boxes and hauling lines to
adjust the ship’s sails. Vests and tight
shorts limit their movement.
Common sailors resorted to wearing
long and loose trousers. They also
wore hats and left the necks of their
tops open. This loose material and
headgear is to protect their necks and
faces from the heat of the sun. You
may not know this, but their belts have
layers to keep them cool and absorb
sweat.
Jewelry: Is it for Captains Only?
Pirate captains only wear jewelry,
specifically gold earrings, gold rings,
and gold chains. They wear jewelry to
keep it safe when it is on their person.
They can also bring it with them
anywhere.
Common sailors usually resort to
wearing only one gold hoop earring.
Back then, they believed that having a
funeral would be their key to going to
heaven. The life expectancy of a pirate
is shorter because their lifestyle is
risky. Common sailors use that one
gold earring as payment for their
funeral.
How Do They Repair Their Clothes?
Pirates don’t have much time to have
their clothes 
laundered or even
repaired by a seamstress. They spend
most of their time at sea. Pirates and
sailors have to use whatever resources
and tools they have on the ship to do
repairs. 
If they’re lucky, the ships they took
over may have silks and fabrics. They
also wash 
their 
clothes 
using
seawater. This process can cause
discoloration to their clothes.
What Are Other Pirate Clothes?
Pirates wore bandannas to protect
their eyes from sweat trickling down
their foreheads. Some pirates had to
use eye patches to cover up any eye
injuries. Others who lost their hand in
battle sometimes use wooden hooks as
replacements. 
These hooks are similar to what
Captain Hook wore in Peter Pan’s
story when the crocodile severed his
hand. Pirate captains also wore
boots, but common sailors often
went barefoot to make it easier for
them to navigate the ship.
