This is how the romantic look is styled in a modern way

In search of meaning and sensuality, we get lost with the romantic look in pastel tones and puff sleeves. Much too girly? Nope! With the right accessories, it’s not only suitable for everyday use, but also grown-up.

Look of love

In order to be able to interpret the Romantic era in a modern way, let’s get to the bottom of the most striking aspects of the fashion of the time: From the beginning to the middle of the 19th century, women wore dresses with puff sleeves in all variations and sizes. If these were particularly large, they were called “gigot”, which translated from French means “club”. In addition, free shoulders and a lot of cleavage were used. If the sleeves were more discreet, you put a nice cloth on your bare shoulders. In combination with this, the waist was emphasized – either with corsages or belts.

Pure romantics: inside

This “princess” style can still be easily implemented today. So that the outfits are not chosen across the board, at best you roughly decide on a direction. Can it be sweet today or rather tough? You can create a particularly girly look with pastel tones, bows and light floral prints or embroidery. We find modern interpretations at designers: people like Erdem or Brock Collection, who manage to take us on a journey through time with their collections.

Those who like it more dignified can opt for black and white. Designer Simone Rocha knows exactly how to prepare the romantic look in an edgy way: from chunky sandals to ruffles and gigot sleeves on leather jackets. In order to create a break in the styling, as with the British artist Enny, overknee boots can be combined with a coat with puff sleeves. If you don’t like a coat or dress, you can combine straight cut or high-waisted jeans with a top with bulging sleeves, trekking sandals and a small wrist bag.
