Romanticism style( 1 850--1 890 )

Romanticism was a reworking and mixing of earlier styles, especially elements of the Renaissance, Gothic, and Rococo periods. Women's clothing was shaped according to the Romantic and suited the needs of the bourgeois lifestyle. It was highly imaginative and colorful. Around 1840 the floor length skirt returned, but this time stiffened around the circumference by horsehair. Originally, it had a single flounce at the hem, but
gradually it developed many ribbons, rows, embroidery, flounces and artificial flowers.
After 1860, the skirt was flattened at front, became wider at knee height and trailed at the back in many folds. The bodice emphasized the bodyline down to the hips. The sleeves were also long and tight. The over skirt was eventually lifted up and puffed out at the back over a frame. The bustle was extravagantly decorated with cords, braids, bows, flounces, and lace. In contrast to the lavish women's fashion, men's clothing was unobtrusively elegant and functional. The double-breasted frock coat became the day suit. The tailcoat served as a formal suit or upper class streetwear. The suit appeared around 1860. Trousers, jacket and waistcoat were all of the same color and material.
The black tailcoat, combined with striped trousers, was worn only for particular occa- sions. Shirts were often embroidered. Stand-up collars and turned down collars were gradually replaced by stiff buttoned    on collars. Depending on the type of outfit, a narrow tie, a broad cravat or a neckband would be worn.
