More medieval-ish
This guy:

Is often seen at an event or two in England. He's not a re-enactor with a group, more a mop who dresses up.
See the oddly shaped spectacle frames, which aren't really good for the late medieval period.
See the waistcoat style pourpoint with no fastenings, which was all the rage 20 years ago.
See the posh hat without a posh gown to go with it, indicating a confusion of levels of poshness.
See the belt across the shoulder, who knows what it is carrying, but they didn't carry much that way in the medieval period.
Note that his hose seem to be self supporting, which is very wrong.
It adds up to medieval-ish, adding up to an impression of old times, because of the fact the clothes are different to modern ones, in cut and cloth. But in reality it's horrendously wrong and does not give a true picture at all.
