Whether you’re a Bridgerton fan or you simply love the romance of puffy sleeves and corsets, regencycore is going to be big in 2022. This is partially thanks to the much-anticipated release of season two of Bridgerton on March 25, 2022. With the release of the first season in December 2020, fans embraced 19th-century inspired looks that spilled into mainstream style including corsets, embellished head pieces, and oversized skirts and sleeves, leading some to coin the term regencycore to describe these regency era looks. And, now with the imminent return of Bridgerton to Netflix, regencycore is poised to provide the perfect style inspiration for spring 2022. Here are the best Bridgerton-inspired looks to shop for spring.
Start With A Corset
When it comes to corsets in 2022, they can be worn with anything and should be considered a wardrobe staple. This Free People Adella Lace Corset Bra Top could be worn at home with loungewear, paired with a blazer and oversized trousers for a work-ready look, or worn with a high-waisted skirt for the perfect date night or girls’ night out. Want to earn bonus style points? Adorn with a pearl necklace to complete the regentcore look.
Play With Embellishments
If you’re going to dive into regencycore, you have to be willing to make a statement — and this can be done with sleeve embellishments. After all, anyone who wears this Mac Duggal Floral Chiffon Gown will steal the show when they walk into a room. It’s a statement dress worthy of royalty and ideal for spring with its pink floral print.
Or Try A Corset Tee
If you’re not feeling like bearing your shoulders but still love the romance of a corset, try this A.L.C. Frankie Corset Tee instead. It pairs well with a high-waisted skirt, pants, or shorts and dresses up a casual outfit while still keeping your vibe comfy. Consider it another staple piece for spring 2022.
