Fashion

Hey fellow adventurers! This post is another fashion post!!! Now, I’m not talking about current trendy Italian fashion. I just want to focus on what people who live in Vatican City wear. Though let’s be honest, if the Pope wanted to, he could pull off some swaggy fashion.

 

Jokes aside, we know what popes and cardinals wear, but now it’s time to find out exactly what that is. Ordinarily the Pope wears:

  • A cassock: an ankle length tunic

  • A mozetta: a short shoulder cape

  • A fascia: a sash worn above the waist

  • A pectoral cross (on a gold chain): a cross worn on the chest

  • Papal shoes: red leather shoes

  • A zucchetto: a small cap worn on the head

  • And a gold fisherman’s ring: a ring worn in honor of St. Peter, which gets destroyed after each pope’s death

When the Pope attends a special event or ceremony, he’ll wear choir dress.

For ceremonies that they host, such as celebrating mass, popes dress up a bit.

It looks like cardinals wear an outfit very similar to the Pope.

Same for when they’re in choir dress.

What about visitors? Should they wear something specific? Well according to multiple Vatican City guides, visitors need to cover their shoulders and knees. You won’t be allowed into some places if you don’t follow this rule. And apparently there are even cloaks for sale in case you didn’t want to wear a long sleeve all day, or just forgot. Though if you search Vatican City fashion on Google image, all these images will pop up of girls in sleeveless, mostly short dresses. I don’t know why but this made me laugh for several minutes. I’m not a Catholic but when visiting the Pope, I agree it’s best to dress more conservatively over wearing a short dress (I’m talking to both girls and guys).

Don’t get me wrong. Michael Spookshow is definitely pulling this off! Actually… I wonder if that dress is still for sale. Besides the point! Still, probably not the best thing to wear to Vatican City.

Not related to this post but when I was looking for information on what popes’ wear, I came across this interesting list of things you might not have known about the pope! I found it very interesting, so I decided to share it: http://www.toptenz.net/10-things-may-wondered-pope.php

Well that’s all for today’s post! Thank you so much for reading! And as always, until our next adventure!
