From Victoria To Kate And Meghan: The Evolution Of Royal Fashion
Fashion has changed a lot since the 1800s, and so has what the royals wear.
The style choices of the British royal family are always relevant to a conversation about fashion history. Those choices signal the standards of dress for society at a given time and reflect what society values. While the royals’ clothing certainly doesn’t paint an accurate picture of the wardrobe of the average Briton by any stretch of the imagination, the great influence they have means what they wear is a marker of change in fashion and culture. This is true even though royal fashion always remains more traditional and conservative in comparison to the average citizen’s style, which makes sense because the monarchy is centered around tradition, decorum, and image.
