EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Costume - Loungers 1820," transports us back in time to the Regency era, specifically to the fashionable streets of Bond Street in London during the year 1820. The image showcases a group of elegant and fashion-conscious men, known as loungers, who were renowned for their stylish attire and leisurely pursuits. The loungers in this print are dressed in the latest fashion trends of the time. The strapped trousers, which were a popular alternative to breeches, are paired with hessian boots, providing both functionality and style. Over their greatcoats, they wear frock coats, which were the formal coats of the day, featuring cut-away fronts that allowed for a free and unrestricted stride. The men accessorize their outfits with top hats, buttonholes adorned with flowers, and coats with contrasting lapels. One man in the group stands out, dressed entirely in black. This man, who could be a member of the aristocracy such as the Duke of Sefton, Devonshire, Byng, or Manners, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. His all-black attire, including his top hat and buttonhole, was a sign of mourning or a statement of personal style. This photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social scene of the Regency era. It provides us with a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of men's fashion during this period.
