Okay, so when I talk about costuming, I mostly talk about women's fashion because (let's face it) men's fashion doesn't really change all that much and for the most part looks pretty similar. But I shan't neglect the men! So this post is dedicated to the different men's fashion in period dramas.
Georgian Era
 |
| Sir Percy, the best dressed guy at the party! |
 |
| Wow, the man really can't tie his own cravat! :-p |
Regency Era
 |
| Well, with 10,000 a year, you would dress well too! |
 |
| Mr. Knightley doesn't need to get his hair cut in London and is still better dressed than Frank Churchill! |
Victorian
 |
| An outfit fit for a king! (Okay, so Albert was never king, but you get my point! ;-) ) |
 |
| Couple of nice dressed gentlemen here (though Cavaletto could use a haircut; maybe Frank Churchill can point him to a good barber?) |
Edwardian/Later Eras
 |
| Perfect suit for a flower show! |
 |
| "I remember the time when
I liked a red coat myself very well—and, indeed, so I do still at my
heart" |
Let's have a round of applause for period drama men! Who do you think is the best dressed man in the room?
God Bless,
Personally, I've always loved paying attention to the men's fashion in period dramas. I think the best dressed are Prince Albert (his red coat!!!), Mr. Knightley and Percy. =) And you didn't have him on here, but I really like Mr. Thornton's clothes from North and South.
ReplyDeleteWell, Mr. Darcy obviously! But I have a fondness for men in long dark overcoats, so Arthur Clennam gets a mention too!
ReplyDeleteSir Percy of course!! No question about it! :) My second place favorites are Mr. Darcy and Matthew Crawley, with Prince Albert a close third.
