Victorian shirts
Among the men's Victorian shirts there are white styles with jabots or ruffles, including shirts with a detachable bow tie or tie, and black styles with a bow. Some of them have puff sleeves and a stand collar. Dressier options include shirts in velvet, jacquard, satin and glossy chiffon, decorated with embroidery, lace cuffs, ruffles or a dragon scale pattern. The range is rounded off by a fitted stand collar T-shirt with lacing.
Waistcoats and a cummerbund
Victorian waistcoats come in jacquard, velvet or velveteen, decorated with lace, lacing, a chain or an embossed pattern. They include fitted and long styles, asymmetric designs, a double-breasted paisley style, a short aristocratic-style waistcoat and steampunk waistcoats with buckles or snap fastenings. You can also define your waist with a jacquard cummerbund, one of our corset belts and gothic belts.
Trousers, coats and capes
Some Victorian trousers are decorated with embroidery and lace appliqués, while others are made of jacquard with a vine pattern. There are also balloon trousers with cuffs or metal buttons and embroidered suit trousers, and you will find the remaining cuts among our men's gothic trousers. For outerwear, you can choose a long Victorian coat, a steampunk coat with a jacquard panel or a jacquard cape with an adjustable stand collar. You will find a wider choice of outerwear among our men's gothic coats and jackets and capes.
How do you put together a men's Victorian outfit?
Start with a white jabot shirt, a jacquard waistcoat and embroidered trousers. On cooler days, finish the outfit with a long Victorian coat or a jacquard cape. Instead of a waistcoat, you can wear a cummerbund, which keeps the outfit lighter but still elegant.
We have gathered women's gowns, corsets and blouses in this style in the women's Victorian clothing collection. Sizes, measurements and fabric composition are listed on each product page.
