15+ Iconic Victorian Outfits You Need to Try This Year

It’s that whole romantic, mysterious vibe, you know? Like you’re the heroine in a gothic novel who’s got secrets and a tragic past but also looks stunning doing it. I didn’t think I could pull it off at first… thought it was too costume-y or something. But then I thrifted a lace blouse and paired it with a long skirt and suddenly I felt like a different person. More elegant, more intriguing.

Victorian outfits are basically “I read classic literature and drink tea in haunted mansions”.

True story: Last fall I wore a high-neck lace top with a full skirt to my friend’s book club and everyone kept saying I looked like I stepped out of a Jane Austen novel. One girl even asked if I was “method dressing” for the discussion… I wasn’t but I let her believe it because the compliment hit different.

Anyway, I’ve been saving these victorian outfits on Pinterest like a total hoarder and I had to share my favorites with you.
