Edwardian Style
The Edwardian era or period which corresponds to the French Belle Époque period, covers the reign of King Edward VII, 1901 to 1910. The fashion style that was named after him, only worn by men in that Edwardian time, was influenced by the art and fashions of continental Europe because of the King’s love for travel. It featured tapered trousers, long jackets and fancy waist coats. The certain Edwardian style which was wasteful of materials and only affordable by the upper class back at the time was recognized by its cuffs on jacket sleeves and extra length on the jackets. It had great influence on the popular movement of the ´Teddy Boys.´
