Very often, these costumes were made at 2 o'clock and worn for only one day. The dandies of that time attached great importance to the corners of the collars, sticking up to the very cheeks, and the sharp ends of a high tie.

hats

Hats were worn high; their fields either increased or decreased; sometimes there were also low hats. At evening parties, a folding hat, a special kind of two-cornered hat, called a larusse or a la Vintimille, was an obligatory headdress. Subsequently, these hats began to be worn on walks.

Men's fashion

In 1802, court dandies stop dressing in the same colorful fabrics as women, stop decorating themselves with ribbons, lace, feathers, jewelry and flies. And women wear only those outfits that emphasize their physical virtues. The combination of these two completely different characters of the costume at the beginning of the century presented an amazing spectacle.

Women's fashion

Along with the men, clad in tight, tightly buttoned robes, the women are dressed in light dresses without petticoats, some even without shirts; they flaunt their neck, breasts, arms; while the graceful men wear boots with nails, the ladies wear barely noticeable flat shoes with such narrow soles that in the slightest dampness they cannot walk; No wonder the Fashion Magazine for Ladies for 1801 states that "one cannot be a fashionista without having a carriage."

In society, even in winter, ladies “cover their bodies with only one light cambric” sewn with straight panels, while men are protected from the cold by a cloth tailcoat worn over a waistcoat, wear double pantaloons, called “skirt”, and high “scrofulous” ties - heritage of the Directory.

The doctors of that time, "calling the god of health as a witness", unsuccessfully pointed out the danger of these ladies' fashions for health, "roses that died before they bloomed", "victims of fashion, noted in advance on the tables of mortality in the temple of the god Aesculapius". Madame de Noel, died after the ball, at nineteen, Mademoiselle de Juignier at eighteen, Mademoiselle Chaptal at sixteen. Despite the existence of spencers trimmed with swan down, despite woolen shawls, and shower jackets, almost all the ladies, when leaving the ball, covered themselves with only one muslin scarf, thrown over their shoulders and pulled together at the chest.

No matter how tight the one-piece dress with a bodice, with narrow halter straps, with a long skirt, was nevertheless less risky than a gauze tunic or a batiste skirt with a slit on the side, through which one could see tight-fitting pink silk knickers or a completely bare leg and sandal straps adorned with precious stones; however, contemporaries still reproached the ladies for shamelessness

Shawl

But the most typical and inalienable accessory of the women's toilet of that time was a shawl, brought to France after the Egyptian campaign and since then it has taken root everywhere in Europe that even our contemporaries, from the older ones, of course, must and still remember well its prevailing dominance that lasted until the late fifties of the last century. The cashmere shawls, which at the beginning of the century cost almost a fortune, and then silk, woolen, cambric or gauze, bordered by elegant borders, were made in a wide variety of shapes and sizes: long, angled or square, and were dyed in the most diverse, mainly monochromatic colors.

Mirror of Paris, "They (women) look like they are coming out of a bath and purposely show their forms under transparent fabrics." After the successes and victories of Tallien, Recamier and their imitators, whom de Segur calls "long, skinny or short and thick, dry, yellow or black with bare arms and necks, who imagined themselves to be Aspasia", many ladies began to wear an artificial bust, "imitating nature in all its freshness and beauty”, fake caviar, etc.; all these "charms" were sold openly, showing off at exhibitions in fashion stores.

Despite the fact that the fascination with antique fashions still continued, new trends gradually changed the shape of the costume every day: the tunic, “invented by the beauties and worn by the Graces”, in 1800, together with a short corsal, made up of several pieces, was unrecognizable; a turban with an aigretto did not belong to the fashions of the ancient world either.

It's no secret that fashion is extremely changeable. Indeed, even today certain fashion trends constantly appear and disappear, and each designer contributes to the development of world fashion. And what was the clothes of the 19th century? What did people wear two hundred years ago? How did fashion develop in those days? Many people are interested in these questions.

Of course, fashion and clothing are directly related to some historical events. And the clothes of the first half of the 19th century demonstrate this dependence. After all, the 19th century is a time of constant revolutions, the time of the overthrow of the imperial regime, the time of the creation of republics and proletariats, the time of the activity of feminist organizations. It is natural that fashion has changed almost constantly.

WOMEN'S CLOTHING OF THE 19TH CENTURY. For dresses in those days, soft, smooth and thin fabrics were chosen, in particular, cambric, muslin, muslin, percale. The skirt was not too long and left an open foot. When moving, clothes had to emphasize the contours of the body, demonstrate soft lines and graceful movements.

Men's clothing of the 19th century. Men's clothing in the nineteenth century often changed. For example, at the beginning of the century frock coats, lace frills, shoes with large buckles and over the knee boots were considered fashionable. But due to the popularity of the Empire style, the representatives of the stronger sex begin to give preference to other clothes. If we talk about everyday clothes, then the man put on light trousers, a shirt, a vest, and over it a woolen tailcoat with a high stand-up collar. As a rule, tailcoats were sewn from fabrics of muted dark tones, in particular, black, blue and brown colors were fashionable. A double-breasted frock coat was used as outerwear. The clothes were decorated with monochromatic symmetrical embroidery.

Men in those days wore short haircuts. High top hats were extremely popular. As for decorations, the strict suit provided for a minimum amount of decor. A man could wear a lorgnette, which was attached to clothing with a chain. Admissible jewelry also included watches, a snuff box, as well as chains and key rings.

But women's fashion has changed almost constantly. At the beginning of the 19th century, high intricate hairstyles were fashionable. The women wore hats and bonnets. In the middle of the century, women simply combed their hair back, tying it in a knot at the back, only a few curls were allowed. Already in the 1870s, high hairstyles came back into fashion, but now they were much simpler. At the same time, small hats appeared, which were decorated with artificial flowers and feathers.

In the second half of the 19th century, fashion was dictated by the tastes of the wealthy bourgeoisie. Based on the style of the mid-18th century - rococo - a new, even more magnificent and eclectic style is emerging - the “second rococo”, or “exhibition style”.

Men's suit

The main innovation in the field of men's suits was a strict division of clothing according to its functional purpose. Business, ball, home and everyday (working) suits stand out.
Men wore white button-down shirts with stand-up or turn-down collars. In the 60s, shirt-fronts appeared, replacing the shirt.
In the 50s. men wore trousers with thongs, in the 60s - without thongs. In the 70-80s. trousers acquired stripes and greatly expanded from top to bottom. In the 90s. trousers of the "French" cut came into fashion - baggy, narrowed down. Basically, they were sewn from striped or plaid fabric.
A dress coat - black or colored, which was sometimes complemented by a black tail coat with a white lining, became a formal, ballroom dress. A white vest was worn with the tailcoat.
A new type of suit, the business card, is becoming business wear. Unlike the tailcoat and frock coat, it was single-breasted, had a cut-off waist and rounded tails. A black business card was accompanied by black and gray striped trousers (which were called "business cards") and double-breasted or single-breasted vests - black, colored or even white. Starch collars to match the waistcoat were standing or turn-down. Unlike the tailcoat, which was worn in the evening, the business card was predominantly daytime wear.

At the end of the century, another new suit came into fashion - a tuxedo (originally - a "smoking suit"). It was worn mostly by young people. With a tuxedo they wore black trousers with black silk stripes.
Every day the men wore a frock coat. Blazers and cardigans that became widespread during this period also play the role of everyday wear.
At home, they wore various jackets and velvet blouses.
Outerwear for men was very diverse: a coat with a cape, a long fur coat with fur, a long sleeveless cloak with a cape (“havelok”), a bag-like coat (“sak”), a short coat with a waist trimmed with cords (“bekesha”) in front.
In the 50s-60s. the tie looked like a bow, and by the 70s a ribbon tie appeared. A white tie, tied with a bow, was supposed to go with the tailcoat.

Woman suit

In the second half of the 19th century, France is still the trendsetter of women's fashion.
In the 50s-60s. fashionable women's costume acquired pretentious forms. This period in the history of fashion is known as the "fashions of the Second Empire".
Dresses at that time were sewn from silk and woolen fabrics, from satin, rep, damask, velvet. The brightest colors are in fashion - purple, hot pink, red. Artificial flowers, fringe, galloons, embroidery, lace served as decoration (gold lace was especially fashionable). Lace and embroideries were no longer made by hand, but in a factory way.
The most notable feature of the women's costume was the crinoline (from the French word crine - "mane, horsehair"). It was a design of wicker, whalebone or metal hoops, which was worn under a petticoat. She allowed to give the skirt a special splendor. By 1860, the round frame of the crinoline had given way to an oval one.

Women's dresses were characterized by a natural length of the waist and a lowered line of the shoulders. A tightly laced corset was worn under the dress.
Casual dresses had a deaf bodice and sleeves extended from top to bottom. Ball gowns were deeply cleaved and were usually sleeveless.
As outerwear, women wore shawls, capes, mantillas, capes, vests. For visits and walks, they also wore a fitted vest - a kazakin.
A handbag, a lorgnette and an umbrella served as an addition to the toilet. In connection with the fashion for travel that swept the upper strata of society, a fashion for travel and bathing suits arose.
In the 70s-80s. in the history of fashion, the era of "positivism" has come. The main idea of ​​this direction was the demonstration of wealth and prosperity. The costume of the period of "positivism" is overloaded with details and decorations, often combining fabrics of different textures and colors: silk, velvet, wool, lace, gauze. The main tones of women's outfits are dark, and in the 80s. dresses of light blue, green, pink shades appeared.

In fashion are tall and slender figures, which were emphasized by dresses that were not cut off at the waist, tightly covering the body to the middle of the thighs. Under the dress they wore a corset with very tight lacing, pulling the whole figure to the middle of the thighs. At the back, the dress was draped, covering the bustle - a pillow or lining made of tightly starched fabric, due to which the center of the silhouette shifted sharply back. In the 80s. bustles became huge, almost caricatured, but fell out of fashion in the last decade of the 19th century.

Ball gowns were still sewn without sleeves, but they have a new feature - a train or a folded frill hemmed to the hem. In addition, dresses with a double skirt came into fashion. The upper skirt in such an outfit was selected from all sides, imitating a jacket along with the bodice.
Outerwear remained the same: various jackets and capes were worn, the lace “illusion” ball cape was especially fashionable.
A small umbrella, gloves, a fan in the form of a fan, a boa made of fur and feathers, black stockings completed the toilet.

Shoes

Common men's shoes in the second half of the 19th century were cleats and boots with buttons or lacing. Open shoes were worn only at balls. Only black or patent leather shoes or low shoes were worn with the business card. Felt leggings were often worn over patent low shoes. In the 50s. men's shoes were pointed, and in the 60s blunt toes and high heels came into fashion.
In the 50-60s. women wore high heels and lace-up boots.
Casual women's shoes 70s-80s. there were high boots, laced or buttoned, with high or medium heels.

Hairstyles and headwear

In the 1850s, men were in vogue for rather long hair, parted in the middle and curled into ringlets. They also wore a beard and mustache. In the 60s. a relatively short haircut, sideburns and mustaches became fashionable.
The most popular men's headdress remained the top hat, but after 1850. he ceased to be considered a mandatory accessory for going out. They also wore hard (“melons”) and soft felt hats, wide-brimmed panamas and “boaters” - hard round wicker hats with a flat crown and even brim.
In the 90s, a black (occasionally gray) “bowler hat” became a favorite headdress for men - a cross between a top hat and a felt hat with narrow even brim and a rigid dome-shaped crown.
Women in the 50s wore puffy hairpieces. Sometimes the hair was combed into a straight parting and laid back in a net.

The simple but rather monotonous form of clothing adopted by our predecessors came to the court of all strata of society.

It can even be said that only now the costumes of the inhabitants of the city have become completely different from the costumes of the inhabitants of the village.
