The Best Jester Costumes Ideas

Enter the medieval Jester, the motley fool appointed to keep the Kings, Queens and their courts entertained with their simple shenanigans. Also in societies where free speech was forbidden, the court jester could speak about controversial subjects frankly as his ramblings were considered to be in “jest” or the inconsequential ramblings of a fool. Jesters have been used throughout history in various media including playwright, William Shakespeare, who often used the Jester as a character who was able cleverly outwit those of a higher social standing.

The jester hat, sometimes called the cap ’n bells or cockscomb, are the signature touch to a jester costume. Made of cloth, they flopped about with three pointed liliripes each ending wit ha jingle bell. The three points were a symbol of donkey’s ears and tail worn by earlier jesters. The three points of the hat represent the donkey's ears and tail worn by jesters in earlier times. Perhaps the most famous jester of modern times is the The Jokerfrom Batman franchise fame, with his maniacal grin and evil ways. His on-again, off-again love interest, Harley Quinn, is also a classic jester taken straight from the comic pages.
