The whip as a symbol of the circus master

In the traditional circus, the circus master stood in the ring with a long whip, a sign that he had the lions and tigers under control. Together with the top hat and the uniform jacket with braiding, that whip is the image most people have in mind when they think of a ringmaster. A short riding crop suggests equestrian sports, while a long circus whip with fringes immediately brings the ring to mind. If you want the role to be visible from a distance, this is the length to choose.

White gloves and red lips to complement the black whip

White gloves make the black handle stand out and have been part of the ringmaster's outfit for generations. For women, bright red lipstick and dark eyeliner complete the ring look, while a top hat adds height to the silhouette. Men can add a curled moustache with face paint and wear gold cufflinks or a brooch on their lapel. If you prefer a cowboy look, coil the whip and hold it loosely in your hand.

Choose the long circus master whip and you will be instantly recognisable as the master of the ring at Carnival or a circus party.
