DESCRIPTION: This print, from a publication titled L'Observateur Des Modes, showcases various men's fashion trends from the early 1860s. Highlighting the styles that defined men's fashion of the era, it is handcolored and features line and stipple engraving.<br><br> In the early 1860s, men’s fashion was all about blending formality with evolving styles, capturing the era's love for structured elegance with a dash of eccentric flair. Loose-fitting frock coats with knee-length skirts dominated, while the sac coat offered a more relaxed, casual option with its straight cut and lack of a waist seam. Trousers, often held up by suspenders, ranged from classic solids to playful patterns like stripes and checks, adding a touch of whimsy. Waistcoats provided stylish variety with subtle colors and designs that complemented the overall look. Essential accessories included the iconic top hat, elegant gloves, and a dapper walking stick. This ensemble, with its meticulous attention to detail and a hint of whimsy, defined the well-dressed man of the early 1860s.
