THE BRIDGERTON SERIES AND THE RETURN OF REGENCYCORE FASHION TREND 

 

 

 

 

 

Not originating from the renowned fashion runways, Regencycore has emerged as a new fashion trend inspired by the Netflix series Bridgerton.

So what is Regencycore style? What makes Regencycore fashion unique?

In today's article, let's join DeTHEIA in decoding the Regencycore fashion style!

 

 

 

 

 

Returning to the exquisite Regency era...

 

The Regency era spanned from 1795 to 1837 and was a period of significant social, political, and economic changes. The British Empire was involved in the war with Napoleon and France, which influenced domestic and international trade. However, despite the bloodshed and warfare, the Regency era witnessed a period of prosperity and remarkable cultural achievements that shaped and transformed the social structure of England.

The Regency era marked the emergence of new trends in architecture, literature, fashion, politics, and culture. In the series, viewers are captivated by the ancient aristocratic fashion style, the extravagant and opulent lives of the upper class, and refined pastimes such as dancing, flower admiration, reading, and tea appreciation.

 

 

 

 

 

Fashion in the Regency era​

 

 

Fashion is an intriguing topic for anyone interested in the history of the Regency period. In the Regency era, the elite regarded fashion as a means of expressing status, personality, and individual class. During this time, English society only allowed high-status women to participate in social gatherings.

To be treated as an upper-class member, young ladies had to familiarize themselves with the intricate protocols of each event and adhere to dress codes that were appropriate for the standards and circumstances of the occasion, such as afternoon tea attire, ballroom gowns, and royal dance parties.

 

 

Corset

 

 

When discussing Regency-era fashion and Regency-core style, corset designs cannot be overlooked. In the previous era, corsets were worn by the British high society as undergarments to shape the body, cinch the waist, and create the illusion of perfect curves.

Over time, this seemingly forgotten garment made a resurgence through the Bridgerton series, adding a touch of novelty and modern variation. Instead of being solely used as innerwear, modern versions of corsets have been creatively adapted and worn as regular garments, enhancing the feminine beauty, allure, and extravagant charm of the ladies."

 

 

 

 

 

Square Neck Top/Dress​

 

 

The square neck top/dress is regarded as an iconic symbol of the old-fashioned aristocratic fashion style. Designs featuring a square neckline and puffed sleeves exude elegance, simplicity, and a subtle allure. This style often avoids excessive prominent patterns and instead focuses on the deep square-cut neckline, which skillfully showcases the collarbones and alluring décolletage, creating a sense of grace and balance in the upper body.

This design is also predicted to become a fashion trend in 2023.

 

 

 

 

High-Waisted Dresses

 

 

High-waisted dress designs make frequent appearances throughout the Bridgerton series and in the fashion history of the Regency era. The image of graceful debutantes adorned in high-waisted dresses as they step into the ballroom has left a profound impression on enthusiasts of cinema and fashion.

High-waisted dresses provide an excellent figure-enhancing effect, making the wearer's silhouette appear taller and more slender."

 

 

 

 

 

Floral Patterns

 

Floral patterns and lace are also integral elements associated with Regencycore fashion and have been popularized by the Bridgerton series. In the attire of women during the Regency era, floral patterns were applied as embellishments in most outfits, serving as a way for the wearer to express aristocratic grace, elegance, and refinement.

For example, the Featherington household, a newly wealthy family, often opted for vibrant and colorful floral patterns and lace. On the other hand, the Bridgerton family, an established noble lineage, chose delicate floral patterns as accents for their garments."

 

 

 

 

 

Pastel Color Palette in Dress Designs

 

The British aristocracy has a preference for pastel hues. Pastel colors are gentle yet equally elegant, creating a delicate and sophisticated Regencycore style. Throughout the series, the daughters of the Bridgerton family are seen wearing pastel-colored ensembles as they participate in royal dance parties, portraying the refined and noble spirit of the upper echelons of society in the bygone era

 

 

 

Linen shirt

A white linen shirt is also a characteristic fashion item in the Regencycore style. During this era, it was considered a symbol of elegance and affluence for both genders. In the Bridgerton series, a white linen shirt is often worn as an undergarment beneath outer layers of clothing.
