Edwardian Fashion
Hello everyone!!
I might not be a History Expert but I wanted to make a little something to help give some inspiration to those looking to add a bit of the Edwardian Era into their wardrobe! I hope this can answer some of your questions!
A note I would like to add for women’s fashion: dresses/tops were meant to be worn with a corset and were not cut to allow for the wearing of a dress without one. This is why a lot of items pre-1940s seems to run smaller than expected when shopping vintage!
There is information I’ve discovered later I left out/wanted to clarify in this video, so if you have a question, feel free to pop by with a message on my social media!

true lol all of those are about women,historical mens fashion is so rare lol
First thought that people in the 50s reintroducing Edwardian fashion was a bit odd, like Edwardian is super old, odd that vintage would become mainstream/youth culture. Then I realised that that was only 40 ish year time difference, so no different than us today doing 80s fashion. Time is wild. Super interesting video, thanks a lot! :D
"Be a Leyendecker, not a Chad" hahaha i'll be using that from now on
I'm a Woman, I found this interesting as I love the Edwardian era, but you usually only see the Women's clothing how they dressed, so showing this era clothing for Men was pretty informative. I have a picture I found in a thrift store that has a guy with a starched collar and I also collect antiques and in a grouping of buttons I found a collar button like the ones you show. I to like to dress in Victorian, Edwardian clothing or because I'm more on the poor side, styles that mimic it, I get a lot of my clothing at thrift stores and I study the time periods and look up how they wore things, what type of jewelry, hats, gloves, find something that is antique or looks antique and wear that with the clothing, just like the starched collar, it makes all the difference in making it look time period appropriate. I feel most at home in these clothes, I carry myself different, feel more Ladylike, I just feel classy, people take notice and some give odd looks, others ask questions or say they like it, either way I just feel more at home in those outfits as opposed to a hoodie and jeans.
Big Thumbs up for Darcy Clothing. (Film set clothing suppliers who also sell to the public.) They actually sell new clothes made in an authentic vintage style. I have some of their items and they are very well made.
just admit you’re an immortal already
I’m writing a book set during ww1 and honestly after my research I lowkey wanna dress like an Edwardian man lol.

Do it! Life's too short not to dress how you like, if you possibly can. I just started making and wearing 1950s- style clothing, and it makes me so happy!

Do it! I started doing exactly that last year. 3 piece sack suits, round collar and collarless button ups, high top dress boots, flat cap, henley shirts - all great looking, and very possible even on a budget, if you look around.

Ooo, I agree with most of what you said, but Edwardian corsets were significantly less comfortable than the Victorian corsets. Trust me, I know from experience.

Yeah I think it comes down to an individual’s body structure, but what is important is noting that the allegedly torturous Victorian corset isn’t necessarily so torturous! Plus, in both styles, a lot of the shape comes from padding, rather than contorting the body to a specific shape. Photo editing also existed in this time!

You are so right about trying to determine the timeline! I just end up saying the 1910s when I'm trying to talk about Edwardian era and WWI era clothing and customs. I definitely feel like during the war, women's fashion definitely became more practical because of many of them going into the workforce. Material became lighter and they started to favor the cardigan over the coat because it was easier to move in and knitting became more important since they were sending socks and scarves to the men on the front. Anyways I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thank you!

19 teens or 10s are a bit different in style than early 1900's, so I consider it and ww1 A subcategory of edwardian. Personally I like deco and 20s styles skirts but the dropped waist doesn't work on everyone and the fun asymmetrical hems are hard to make. Too many pencil or hobble or high waist styles in the teens for me though. Shirt waists are cool, but the puffy sleeves not for me. I love the hats, but some are a bit over the top, but that's what was in in the late Victorian edwardian. Cliche hats are cool but I won't cut or pin my hair that short. Or grow long enough for Gibson
If you haven't already, I _highly_ recommend watching the series *Jeeves and Wooster* (with Fry and Laurie). It's set in 1920s England and the costume design is immaculate. It's amazing truly - you can find all the episodes on KZread, I think you would really enjoy it.
Yes, the early ‘teddy boy’ look garments are a wonderful vintage source that can be used to find affordable clothes. Lovely video - thank you!
I'm really chuffed that you used some clips from Maurice, my favourite film! And a photo of E. M. Forster, too. I've been interested in vintage fashion for a few years now - it all started when I bought a bow tie and braces for a Doctor Who cosplay, and I liked them so much that I decided to keep wearing them. Most of the clothes I own are still quite modern, but I'd love to start collecting more vintage clothes so I can pull off the full Edwardian look eventually. That period of history, as well as the 1920s, fascinates me.
the summer look with the shorts is so cute! You've absolutely nailed the soft masculine vibe
Excellent presentation. I love all things Edwardian, the fashion, but especially the architecture. I dont know what it was about the Edwardian era, but they always got the proportions right, whether that be fashion or architecture, and because of that....it still holds up 1OO plus years later. Subscribed.
You’re awesome! This video was super educational for me, this is the historical style that I slowly want to transition my wardrobe into, I like that you mentioned how modern representations try to eliminate the “feminine” appearance, I prefer high waisted trousers.
Great video! I really miss the button fly and higher-waisted trousers with fuller seat, they're so much easier to move around in. "Modern" trouser designs are definitely not an improvement, just different (in my opinion)!
That salor top is so dreamy !!! I Wish sailor inspired fashion would come back into style. Just found your channel 😊 subscribed !
Amazon Dry Goods also has a wide selection of collars.
I may have screeched a bit when you used Maurice as a reference. It’s my person favorite movie. Also thank you for giving the panic attack tip.
Oh, never heard your voice before, evven though I follow you since Eggsy cosplays xD You look insanely handsome and your voice is exactly as I pictured it. Lots of love from Russia, you perfect being
Love this!! This is just what I needed; as I too am of a smaller frame and shoe length. I would love to see what other outfits you have under your sleeve as inspiration; you should definitely release an outfit look-book! P.S. I too reside on the U.S. west coast. (San Diego) An Edwardian summer look-book for everyday warm weather would be awesome! May I ask where you got your 1910s waistcoat in this video? 15:53 ? I discovered you on Tumblr btw, I noticed. that you also partake in the dark academia aesthetic. Of which I absolutely revere. Male content for this particular aesthetic is scare, I'd love for you to tap into this with your videos as well! Brilliant work, I am looking forward to seeing more!
A very interesting video. It's nice to see a man's viewpoint into these earlier eras, which I feel are more elegant than post-WWI menswear. Lots of detail, which I appreciate, starting my wardrobe. One note to make, Historical Emporium has repro clothing from that time. From what I can see, they're very well constructed. Pricey, but good. Much love from an up-and-coming Modern Victorian fashion wearer.
finally,a video about men historically accurrate clothing. i know you aren't a historian but honestly this helps me a lot since i wanna get into the vintage/historybounding clothing community but i mostly find about women clothing(which isn't a bad thing,but even thought i like dresses i prefer masculine clothing over all)
If you're looking more victorian or American/western then Historical Emporium offers a ranger of items, styles, and sizes from all clothing categories. Great website and decent prices. They don't really have much Edwardian clothing (and the small amount they do I can't judge the accuracy of) but they sell all sorts of styles from regency through the 1920s really. Great place to look
I'm writing a book in this specific era and I need to really thank you for this information. It's not easy to find those explanation about men fashion, it was really helpful for me.
nearly screamed when i saw the clip of maurice lol because that movie is the whole reason why i want this wardrobe
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen and I’m so excited to see a man talk about vintage fashion. I would love to hear a man’s opinion on vintage fashion. I’m so excited for this video
Thank you for the video, so hard to find fashions inspired by this time period. (100th subscriber!)
Thank you so much! So much good information. So funny you mentioned the boater hat, as I have just had months of trying to find one, but still cannot find the low-crown I'm waiting for. The sailor outfits were also very popular for little girls as well, but made into a dress. This is the quintessential outfit I think of when remembering illustrations from childrens books of that time period. I wish children still wore such beautiful clothes. Thanks again for all the work that went into your video.
I loved this video! I’ve been following you on tumblr for a while but I didn’t know you had a KZread channel! I love your style (you’re also adorable!)
YOU HAVE SUCH NICE CONTENT OH MY GOD!!!!!!! please keep posting, I'm completely hypnotized by the nice info that you bring. :D
This was truly the best and most informative video I've ever seen on historical fashion. Please keep it up! 👍
post more please this is amazing!!Also you look great!
this is absolutely the most informative and helpful guide i've come upon so far! thank you for sharing and taking the time to put this together.
You are very knowledgeable. Thank you. That was a very helpful video. Will now subscribe and binge watch past content. Also glad to hear my country could supply you with the glasses you like. Perhaps all is not lost for me to find historical dress items here. I have kind of assumed we are too young of a country to really have anything available. Had you recommended by the ‘Edwardian Tailor’. By the way. Take care, and stay safe.
Yes, this is the video I've been looking for for years now!
I learned absolute *tons* watching this video! There are lots of great videos on YT about women's fashion history, but so few about menswear, this was really interesting. Thank you!
Absolutely charming, very informative and well-spoken. Very well done.
Aaaaa thank you so much for this video!!! I find it much harder to find videos on men's edwardian fashion, this is so useful.

My daughter and I have been looking and looking for someone who sews menswear Edwardian style on KZread. Tons of channels for ladies clothes. Can't find any for menswear. Did you find any? Would you kindly share a link?
I'm only 3 minutes in and I love this already! I hope you decide to do more videos!
They called it Pigeon Breast style, those with a small bust would wear extra ruffles in that area. I like the embroidered unicorn one, made me chuckle a little.
I hope you keep making videos - what you’re doing is filling a niche here on KZread! I very much enjoyed listening on this subject from a male perspective. Historical dress/costuming is what I spend most of my time consuming on this platform and I truly enjoyed your perspective. Thanks for making this video, I know it’s a lot of work but it is appreciated!
Fantastic video!! So informative 🤗👌🙏 If only I could find someone so thorough and succinct about women's historical fashion, spanning 1660s-1900, specifically French!!! 😄😍💖
Thank you. This video is full of wonderful basic information about Men's clothing. I enjoyed your demonstrations & clear explanations. Well done!
that's some pleasant edwardian jazz well done, well done.
Well informed and easy to follow. Love it!!
Thank you for this extremely informative video! It's always nice to find people who are into the masculine side of dressing historically!
this video is so helpful. I love vintage fashion but find it hard to picture... so as a short butch this was great! also hope things are going well in Scotland! I came here for uni myself, it's a wonderful place
Good evening, sir! I just happened to stumble upon your Bedroom inspired video and landed to this one because my dearest gentlefolk...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN IN ALL MY LIFE???? At long last someone speaks the Edwardian tongue that I so long to hear and learn! All this because I seek some inspiration for my new house! You bet your bottom dollar I subbed to your channel! I look forward to see more of your content! Thank you! Thank you, sir!🖤🖤🖤
The first sewing project I ever did was putting buttons on my waistband for button-in suspenders. What a throwback.
I hope you continue to upload videos. I very much enjoyed your calming and informative presentation! Your tips were very useable and helpful!
Edwardian is very elegant!! ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to hear more on your knowledge of tailoring! I really enjoyed this video!
I love the music you chose for that video!
Oh my god, it’s sooo cool, that you picked a look from Dark!! I mean yeah you called them out, but to be honest he’s a timetravelling teen so I don’t think he knew he was wearing it wrong ;)
This was VeRy helpful. Thank you. You look very handsome in the Edwardian style!
thx so much for such a detailed and thoughtful video
All your videos are lovely! Thank you for sharing ❤️
I just started watching but omg I love your Robin tattoo. 😍😍😍
Great video; very well done and informative. I enjoy learning about men's fashion.
Oh this is just what I've been looking for! Most videos about historical clothing focus on the fem side of things
Thank you, so much valuable information in such a short time!
Such a lovely video, thank you.
excellent video!!!! so informative!!
Love this. 😊
I can't wait to start dressing in Edwardian clothing, I've done a load of research and love the aesthetics of the period. I am gonna start with implementing my current style with Edwardian era, then make a full set of outfits of the era. Mainly because I want to look good and love what I wear. My current style is a more conservative rugged style that could blend with Edwardian styles quite well.

for 500$ a coat should be bespoke, with real silk lining, real wool, and hand stitching. In silk thread. And draped off of an extant garment, or pattern. But Oscar Wilde's unicorns is also worth 500$.
Okay I'm in love now 👌
You should do a lot more videos on men’s fashion
Hello, I had a quick question about Edwardian fashion. What color combinations did the 3 piece suit have? Or did people mostly dress monotone? Or would the vest color be changed? Thanks!

I hope you post more!!!
I Loved this Thanks Bro
Bespoke tailoring predated the Edwardian era. Industrial manufacturing was a new phenomenon in the Victorian era. Many women made the family clothing up through the 70s and there were many tailors and seamstresses who constructed made to fit clothing. It is an error to assume that bespoke clothing is a new phenomenon, when it was quite common throughout history (and still is in poor countries where manufactured clothing is imported and therefore costly), There are many books on clothing construction, pattern guides, etc, from the Victorian era and into the 20th century. In the series Little House on the Prairie, Laura Ingalls Wilder describes her mother making "bespoke" clothing, and even lace. Caroline Ingalls made all the clothing for the Ingalls family for decades in the late 19th century, which was quite common.
thank you so much for this
Classic frontier and Wahmaker make solid High waisted fishtail trousers for a working class impression, only knit pick is the cut is very slim with a taper, something that canvas trousers shouldn't have you'll need to buy them 4 sizes up, I have a 36 inch waist and wear a size 40. Their nice and loose with that silhouette
lovely
