Clothing of 18th in England
Clothing of 18th century in England
1750
The middle of the century marked what is perhaps the highest
point of rococo style. The stiffness of the earlier years had been
abandoned, and the extravagances of the seventies and the
neo-classical negligence of the nineties were alike unthought of.
The most typical characteristics of the century were at their
most charming stage. The wig was neat and becoming. The
three-cornered hat was of medium size - it had been ridiculously
large in Marlborough's time, and became ridiculously small in
1790; coats and waistcoats were both dignified and graceful,
the cut was good and the embroidery elegant. There was a
tasteful moderation in the use of lace.
