High-drama details like ruffles and sweeping hemlines take their cues from a classic English novel. Play up the traditional innocent look in soft neutral hues and small-scale florals.

The Couture Queen
Ready for cocktail hour? Post-work style gets a flirty makeover with peekaboo lace. Make an entrance in a show-stopping dress, but don’t stop there – your accessories can be dramatic too. Add bold lips, sparkling jewels, and embellished heels.

The Victorian Rebel
This prim-and-proper era is finally revealing its dark side with exposed shoulders and tie-neck tops. Try mixing edgier pieces with sweeter ones – like leather and pearls – for a tough-girl take on the trend.
