Oh, Prince Albert...!
No, not that kind of Prince Albert. Get your mind out of the gutter, babes...
But yes. This is what it would have looked like for the Gilded Age era people.
XOXO
P.S. That series on HBO is beautifully art directed. I've caught bits and pieces of it and it's a treat. Recommend.

ReplyDeleteHmmm slim trousers or accentuate the assets. Who else that I know favors those? 😜
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
Hahaha
DeleteSilly. And yes, those trousers look fab.
XOXO
I need a valet to dress me each morning, not because I'm royalty but because I'm lazy.
ReplyDeletexoxo
LOL
DeleteCan you IMAGINE the idea that someone dresses you up? I would be so spooked...
XOXO
Spooked? Or the very least, get blown by your hot valet!!!
DeleteWell, then there's THAT.
DeleteDepending on the valet, it would be a very fast or a very leisurely activity...
XOXO
Slim trousers...they come in and go out of style. Skinny jeans? Stretch jeans?
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy The Gilded Age. All the dressing for dinner, etc. though - what a PITA. LOL
XOXO
I love pants with a little bit of a give.
DeleteAnd I wish Oscar were more... gay? But Morgan Spector can railroad me any day...
XOXO
Too much. Give me a T-shirt and shorts any day.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteNot the point, Dave.
And your beloved t-shirt actually started in the XIX century as an undergarment. You still owe them a debt of gratitude....
XOXO

ReplyDeletePrince Albert, avec sa prévoyance, s'inscrivait dans la grand tradition de noblesse oblige avec la grande exposition de 1851 à Londres et ses benfaits.
-Beau Mec à Deauville
That is true.
DeleteHe was quite the influential figure, no?
XOXO
I love waistcoats. Do you suppose Albert actually buttoned his own shirts and put on and tied his shoes himself. I kind of doubt it.
ReplyDeleteSame.
DeleteI think those super rich people during the Gilded Age spoiled themselves rotten. No, he did as little as possible.
XOXO
Mrs. Shife loves the Gilded Age and is in search of a replacement show until it comes back.
ReplyDeleteOhhh
DeleteHas she tried Bridgerton?
I would also recommend A Hundred Years of Solitude. The whole thing is on Netflix and it's fab.
XOXO
I could have easily lived in this time period. I know right, one you likes to be scantily clad or in fitted clothing.!!!! LOL! But men in this time were very gentlemanly and very dapper.....that's hot in my book.
ReplyDeleteOMG
DeleteThe men in the series??? Whoa.
XOXO
