Hello my fellows,
How would one go about dressing like a knight in modern times and casually without being cringey.
I am thinking leather jackets and steel toe boots. What would you suggest?

the way I see it technical clothing is the modern 'armor', not only because it's easy to find military influence but because it protects you from the elements in urban environment and it doesn't obstruct your movement.
Some brands also have huge football casual influence, and those are people who actually get in to fights. Lot of full technical clothing fits have the kinda 'shell of armor' quality to them, they entirely cover the wearer which gives it uncanny quality of just being empty inside in a way, as there is no face to recognize.

Didn't think of it. I had raid police and motorcyclists on mind. But thats fair enough as well.

it's really about what's your take on it
dressing in surplus and military influenced clothing could describe what you are searching
going full operator could as well
but that's how I would go about it personally, figure out what's the approach that feels natural to you

I would say tattoos similar to the woodblock print style possibly could add something to the look

the mordern knight is a soldier so you would dress like a soldier or a member of special forces unit

Thats one good looking tattoo. Saved.

I agree. So in casual settings, just dress like a war veteran with PTSD and cargo pants.
