“Is it awful that I’m enjoying it?” Oh, Daphne. You said it best. Netflix has us all in a tizzy with its latest hit and we’re in no rush to leave! (We’re also still pretty smitten with this kind of queen.) It seems we are not alone in the least, as the latest fashion craze—on TikTok and beyond—is a perfect mix of Regency-era hallmarks with a modern twist. It’s called Regencycore and hate it or love to hate it, we’re rather pleased at the idea of seeing empire-waist dresses and satin gloves come down the aisle. After the Year of Sweats, this author is ready for some Bridgerton-inspired dresses.
Not sure if you can pull it off? Well, in the wise words of Eloise Bridgerton: “Do it. Be bold.”
