In the early years of the 19th century, men’s fashions changed dramatically. Coats were cut higher in the front and finished in long tails at the back.\u00a0Waist length square-cut waistcoats were displayed beneath tailcoats. The lining of the shoulders and upper chest of the coat was sometimes quilted to improve the fit and some dandies wore boned corsets to give them a small waist.\u00a0Trousers became increasingly fashionable in the first quarter of the 19th century as men gradually adopted long trousers rather than knee breeches. At first long length pants were only worn for day and informal dress and breeches were still required for court dress, but by the 1820s trousers were accepted as evening wear.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Typical menswear in the early 1800s included a tailcoat, a vest or waistcoat, either breeches, pants, or the newer trousers, stockings, shoes or boots, all worn with an overcoat and hat. This basic ensemble was accessorized with some form of neckcloth or cravat, gloves, walking stick, cane or riding crop, handkerchief, fobs, watch and perhaps a quizzing glass or eye glass.\u00a0The tan hat from the late 18th century was worn and developed into the top hat which was worn for day and formal dress throughout the 19th century. Hair was carefully styled into a windswept look or worn short and curled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"1800](\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1800_Outfit-Of-A-Young-ManFrench_Greycutawaycoat-yellow-breeches-black-boots-and-hat-walking-stick_CP_Sml.png\")
