Journal des Dames et des Modes: Men’s Fashion

description

Summary

The Journal des Dames et des Modes occasionally provided coverage of men’s styles. These illustrations give a good picture of trends in mens’ clothing from 1797 to 1825. During the 18th century, gentlemen wore culotte (knee-breeches) 1. These fell out of fashion with the elimination of strict class distinctions during the French Revolution, to be replaced by a type of long trouser(s) known as pantalon à la Hussarde 2. These were worn with hussar boots. ‘Pantaloons’ 3 were trousers pulled tight with an elastic strap under the instep. Carrick 4 coats with a double collar were popular, and in the evenings men wore a special dress cloak 5.
