What clothes did Victorians wear?
1 Answer
Queen Victoria influenced fashion quite a bit during her reign. However, only the wealthy women had the luxury of wearing classic Victorian garb: corsets beneath full-skirted silk and satin dresses. Wealthy men dressed just as elaborately as their female counterparts: suits with long frock coats and bow ties. Poor Victorians, on the other hand, tended to wear thin cotton or linen clothing.
