1822 Bawdy Boots Cossack Demi Fashions Fast Flirting Monde Palais Racy Regency Trousers Wear Wears Worn
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, hailing from the year 1822, transports us back to the Palais Royal in Paris, a notorious hotspot of Regency-era fashion and social intrigue. The Palais Royal was a favorite haunt for both high society and the demi-monde, a term used to describe the fashionable yet morally questionable set of the time. In this vibrant scene, men don various fashionable attire, such as the Cossack trousers worn by the man on the left, which were popularized by the Russian Cossacks and featured a loose, baggy cut. The man on the right sports top boots, a practical yet stylish choice for the urban landscape. Women, on the other hand, dazzle in their elegant evening dresses, adorned with intricate patterns and luxurious fabrics. Some carry reticules, the fashionable handbags of the day, while others flirtatiously flash a hint of ankle or cleavage. The atmosphere of the Palais Royal was racy and bawdy, with fast-paced flirting and clandestine rendezvous taking place amidst the crowd. This image offers a tantalizing glimpse into the fashionable yet scandalous world of the Palais Royal, a time when fashion and morality blurred together in a dazzling display of Regency-era excess.
