It Suit You



Today I look around some of the apparel commonly used by kings in the past. I was surprised because I found so many similarities in their outfit whatever the model and its shape, it seem like there basic rules that remain the same. If the form and model is more than what is available in particular region and what can be used and how art developed in that region. But the basic rules are must followed.


The apparel of a king must have a head covering. With different shapes, models and ways as well as materials. But a king must wear a head covering. The more a king's territory  and holy power, the head covering more dense.

A king also always wear apparel that cover his body. In some region where they dress very little, as in the tribes around the world, still their king would wear apparel that cover most of his body, whether in the form of robe and cover of feet. But in fact this only indicated that the king is covering his strength so as not to be easily seen by his power.

A king also always carried a symbol that signifies that he is a king. This symbol can be in the form of a particular apparel, can be something that is attached to his apparel or a weapon that he always carried. But whatever it is definitely recognizable as a king symbol. It mean only the king would wearing it.

But in this nowadays, I see a lot of kings still left confused groping what the right and proper apparel for them in the midst of a world that no longer understand all these things. The sadness is eventually they slowly lose their charisma as a king, simply because they no longer dressed properly.

I found some appropriate picture as an example of how a king wearing an apparel  like western suit – a suit which has been known as official dress among nobles and world leaders -- without the risk of losing his charisma as a king, since this is also a suit, just long suit. Suitable for its kingly circumstances.

I like a simple model and not glamorous so that I have here draw a simple and not glamorous model. But there are distinctive peculiar occasion where a king should look glamorous so that his condition is properly visible so no one could behave not correctly to him.

I guess that's enough today about how the right apparel for a king in the public presence in today's world. But I found an example of a model of apparel that the king could comfortably worn in his casual and private times. Suffice and adequate for a king in his 'he-time'. Cool ..eh ....

Okay then. See you in another special note from me.
