The era that gave rise to the Empire style was distinguished by the passion for all antique. This affected both fashion and throughout the life of that time.
Since 1800, it became fashionable to put trousers in high boots, which created the rider style. Threats wore dark flowers. The former era left only a colored vest with patterns. Shirts began to sew with high gates. It was then that ties appeared.
Men still curled the hair, but now it looked more natural. The hair covered his forehead. It was necessary to put on a cylinder to the day costume, and a triangular hat was recommended for uniforms or an evening suit.
Women’s hairstyles resisted the new fashion for a very long time and were still in the antique style. However, the republican fashion ultimately won. Hair combed smoothly, emphasizing the shape of the head. The hairstyle was divided by the parting, often different braids were braided.
Interest in the jewelry resumed. Often used artificial pearls, less often – original cameras. Bracelets for the legs and hands, necklaces, necklaces, rings, diadems and rich earrings with pendants gained great popularity. Shoes, as in ancient times, was without heels, on flat and low soles. The only element of clothing departing from ancient fashion was hats.
In those years, women wore hats and caps of various shapes and from a variety of materials. Gradually, the hat was completely replaced by the cap. The period of emancipation of women has come. A hat for a woman has become a sign of a situation in society, a kind of emblem.
