I feel like I need to get more into regency clothing
#it’s not that I’m Not into regency clothing it’s just not my main period#and generally if I’m going to spend money on historical clothing it will be for reenactment stuff#but the thing is regency clothing is objectively more popular and accessible (comparatively)#I mean the truth is that quality historical clothing is almost always handmade and therefore always more expensive#but there’s comparatively More people into regency fashion than late 18th century so there are more options#also this is an observation only I would make but regency clothing is like marginally more socially acceptable to wear in public#idk. I think in general it’s perceived as more ‘fashionable’ than georgian clothing because it appeals more to a modern eye#so while it’s not common it’s comparatively Less Weird idk#sort of makes me sad but I also agree that it is a very universally appealing fashion period#at least in terms of menswear I’m not much of a fan of regency womenswear past the 1790s#but idk I feel like. I want to dress in ways that make me feel happy and confident in my everyday life#and while I’m not Unhappy yeah it is still sort of a dream of mine to effectively have a ‘historybounding wardrobe’#and I feel like regency fashion is the gateway#maybe I’ll make some moves toward that this year#mine
