Bridgerton, but make it 2021!
With over 82 million views on Netflix, this new period drama brings us the right blend of regency, royalty and romance to this very long and never-ending sweatpants season.
Now add that to your wardrobe and boom you’re ready for your social debut post Covid-Whenever that might be!
The costumes in soft pastels and jewel tones in bright and elaborate florals, and detailing in ruffles, ruching and puff sleeves adds the right amount of drama and fantasy, to get the prince or the duke to court you.
Also can we have a moment for the Duke of Hastings( ripped and ravishing in his silk vests or without it! I burn for you,my Lord! Now that’s a scandal Lady Whistledown might be interested in.
Also his insta handle is Rege-Jean Page-if you're still searching!)
Without further ado let me curate some of the Bridgerton inspo that can be adopted in 2021.
Gloves
With fashion and functionality in one,gloves are riding the trend wave. Choose from sheer or leather gloves in contrasting colours to add that regency-core yet edgy aesthetic to your street style.
Pearl Headbands
Embellished head bands scream Bridgerton and yes it'a "mama-approved" statement piece to jazz up your everyday fashion in 2021 and to take that neutral palette from boring to daring.
Corsets
Unlike the corsets in the regency-era, wearable corsets or corset belts can be a waist defining piece over that sweatshirt or a monochrome power suit for the boss lady in you. You may also wear lace corset as a top and pair it with graphic pants to take it from the castles to the city streets.
Empire Line
Make empire-waist silhouettes 2021 style and get a sense of escapism from your usual lounge wear, by investing in flowy, floral, feminine pieces with square necklines and ruched yoke. Add on your fave boots, contrast headband and matching handbag and that's it-Daphne-approved!
Powder Blue
The signature Bridgerton blue colour is making waves on runway and the streets alike. Take a look at some of these outfits in soft pastel colour combos if you'r not into brights and channel that serene energy from all that lock-down meditation you had.
Puffs & Ruffles
The only drama you need rn should be in your wardrobe. The voluminous ruffles and frills will take your outfit from damn to glam in seconds for a Sunday brunch or a night-out with your girlies. Go for jewel tones or acid bright florals for a maximalist Daphne vibe,and if you're obsessed with Eloise like me, choose from bow necklines.
Silk Vests
Somebody sign up the Duke for the next Bond movie already!
The silk brocade vests worn by the duke is the right dash of chivalry and luxe. Channel it the Indo-fusion way by layering the silk jacket over a matching kurta-pyjama for your bestie's Haldi or Mehendi ceremony and get Bollywood glam, but Duke Hastings style!
So what are your fave Bridgerton-inspired looks from the list?
..Until next blog post!
