Joan of Arc led France to its late victory in the 100 Years War. This feat was achieved by her wearing an armour and military gear in her campaigns. To pay homage to Joan, gather and wear military-inspired garb, armour and metallic-toned bottoms. Wear arm gear or leg support, if available. To add accent, drape a flowy skirt. Joan also sported a short bob, so cop a wig accordingly. To complete the look, carry a banner with the costume.
