- Shirts/Blouses: Free flowing skirts can obviously not be worn on an everyday basis now. So instead opt for Victorian style shirts. Choose blouses made of lace, velvet or silk; remember, the more the dress is feminine the more it is Victorian. Go for colors like pale yellow, light blue, black, royal blue, rose pink, ivory etc. You could get pearl-style buttons stitched to attain a perfect Victorian look.
- Jackets: Jackets were very popular during the start of the Victorian era. To give a modern look to these old fashioned jackets, choose wool or velvet jackets. Blazers with a feminine cut will also do. In winter, you can opt for cashmere sweaters which have elegant buttons and delicate embroidery. Choose colors like green, deep purple, brown etc.
- Jeans: You do not need to wear long gowns to be Victorian. You can even wear jeans to dress like a Victorian lady. For it, buy jeans which have delicate designs or pearls, lace, velvet trim etc.
- Skirts: Victorian styles skirts with hoops and laces should be worn. Velvet tier skirts also have a Victorian touch to them. Wear woolen stockings and black fishnets with your grand skirts.
