Explanation:
At the beginning of the poem, the highwayman is dressed in claret velvet, which is a blood-red velvet, and Bess is a red-lipped daughter who is plaiting a “dark red love knot into her long black hair.” (18) After that, Noyes describes the sunset as “tawny” which is an orangish-red sunset.

According to Alfred Noyes, a highwayman would wear a French-cocked hat, a bunch of lace at his collar, a claret (red) velvet coat, brown doe-skin breeches, and thigh-high boots. He would also be armed with a rapier and pistols.
