Whether you’re a fan of Daphne or Eloise, Lord Anthony or Colin, you can channel the hot trend of Regency style with the latest from these designer labels.
With the recent premiere of Bridgerton’s second season on Netflix, fans of this bodice-ripping series set during England’s Regency era will enjoy all-new opportunities to revel in the sumptuous locations and ultra-romantic costumes. An unabashed passion for both the show’s sets and fashion also has spawned a catchphrase hashtagged often on social media: #Regencycore, an aesthetic that suits anyone who loves lush gardens, the glimmer of a pearl or the stylish ease of a silk ballet flat.
The arrival of spring is also the ideal time to add the details from this steamy series into your own wardrobe. Channeling the style from TV’s hottest show is indeed effortless, from empire waists, floral prints and puffed sleeves for the ladies to unexpected colors and the requisite waistcoat for men — and plenty of frills for little girls. Here are three ideas on how you, too, can become a Lady or Lord, or how to dress the Little One in your life:
Are you Daphne or Penelope — or perhaps you’re a Queen Charlotte? The ladies of Bridgerton may display a wide range of personalities and motives in pursuit of power and romance, but they’re aligned in their love of the latest fashion. Channel your inner Bridgerton lady by embracing empire looks or other high-waisted styles in bright, look-at-me colors or ultra-romantic floral prints. In accessories, opt for ballet flats and heels with darling, feminine details, while jewelry likewise should be romantic in feel, from plenty of pearls to delicate chandelier earrings.
Thanks to Bridgerton, it’s easy than ever for guys to show off their dandified style. Regé-Jean Page’s Simon is no longer present to steam up the screen, but Lord Anthony, Colin and Benedict Bridgerton are sure to cut dashing figures in many a ballroom or garden this season. The good news is, a military jacket embellished with a plethora of gold buttons isn’t required to create a romantic look; instead, opt for a beautifully detailed blazer in an unexpected color, while your footwear also can reflect the details of a dandy. And don’t forget the vest — that’s “waistcoat” in Bridgerton parlance — to add an instant polish to your look.
Let’s be honest, a real-life Hyacinth or Gregory is far too young to watch Bridgerton, roundly agreed to be among the steamiest shows on television (and precisely one of the reasons it’s so popular). But if you’ve dreamed of dressing the little ones in your life in a similar fashion, it’s never been easier — especially with Easter approaching. From girlish floral dresses, bow-accented shoes and sweet little hats and headbands for girls to tailored suits and dress shoes for boys, your own miniature dukes and duchesses can be tea party-ready with ease.
