A Journey Through the Evolution of Silhouette and Style

❦

The Rococo Era (1730–1770)

Known for its extravagance, this era introduced men's fashion featuring heavily embroidered waistcoats and lace jabots—key inspirations for the modern [Ouji fashion](https://www.fashionabc.org/what-is-ouji-fashion/) aesthetic.

The Victorian Gothic (1837–1901)

The core of "Prince" style. High collars, tailcoats, and the transition to the somber, authoritative silhouettes that define the gentleman's look.
