“We are attracted to clothes that have a history, a past life, a new romanticism.” A quote from Philosopher & designer Lorenzo Serafini. I have always had a thing about Victorian-Inspired clothing. Don’t you think they have the best, most elegant fashion in the whole of human history?
According to the history experts, the Victorian era—technically lasted from 1837 until Queen Victoria’s death in 1901 which is of course where the name came from. But it seems that it’s long outlived the Queen herself and there’s no arguing with the fact that the historic period still seems to have a lasting impact on fashion. You only have to look as far as your favorite fashion magazine to see how modern designers regularly feature collections that still utilize signature facets of that era. We have seen it every single year on the runway.
When we talk about the Victorian-Inspired Clothing Trend, what is the first thing that pops into your head? The puffy, voluminous sleeves, demure high-neck collar ruffled blouses, or plenty of lace, velvet and chiffon?
So how can you best get your Victorian Vibe going? First don’t overdo it! I’m already seeing the help wanted signs in the pop-up Halloween stores around our house so to avoid looking like you’re testing out an early Trick or Treat costume, I suggest you stick to one articulate piece, while keeping the rest of your look streamlined and modern.
This is another way I wore the same dress, but in a more modern way. You will see more about this look in a later post so come back! 😉

I love touches of romance and Victorian-inspired accents. Especially when it comes to the sleeves. Ahhh, flowy, feminine, poet sleeves. And, of course, lace. Little wonder, Grace, that I am very much in love with your red number right there.
Thanks for the style inspiration.

Beautiful colour combination! The yellow contrasts so well with the deep red. I love Victorian-inspired fashion – I usually associate it with autumn/winter but you’ve worked it into a summer look perfectly! Love the shoes and sunglasses 🙂
