  • Today we’re taking a speedy tour of 17th century European fashion. Known as the Baroque Era, we’ll cover everything from the English Civil War (Roundheads vs. Cavaliers) to the merrymaking of the Restoration Era. Expect lush gowns, periwigs (the Captain Hook wig), musketeer styles, and pop culture references to a little known movie called Restoration (1994) starring Robert Downey Jr.
    Bonus: a book review of Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor, billed as the Gone with the Wind of the Baroque Era.
    Chapters:
    0:00 Why the Baroque Era?
    0:31 Dutch Still Life Paintings
    01:11 17th Century European History
    01:23 English Civil War
    04:23 Restoration
    05:02 Women’s Fashion
    08:07 Men’s Fashion
    11:16 Novels of the 17th Century
    13:15 Samuel Pepys

    Finally someone said it if it wasn’t for the baroque you wouldn’t have rococo which is late baroque. An the gorgeous neo baroque of the late Victorian - Edwardian period. So basically Dracula phantom titanic fantasy, you have a new subscriber

    Great vid! I've loved 17th century fashion ever since the 1973/-74 adaptations of The Three Musketeers. Fun movies that did *not* hold back on the costumes budget! 😍 Highly recommended. Might check out "Restoration" now.
    I actually really love the hairstyle. Long natural-colored curls adorned with pearls, that frame the face? Yes, please! I honestly find it one of the most flattering female hair fashions that's ever been. Certainly better than the tall, bird's nesty ones that followed in Marie Antoinette's time.

      You'll love Restoration. Now I have to check out the '70s Three Musketeers adaptation (I've only seen the '90s version). ❤️

    Dutch person here.
    "The Netherlands remaind mostly untouched by the 30 years war" the netherlands had been at war with Spain for 80 yearsa war wich bled over into the 30 years war.
    But i see how you can get that impression with all the art, trade and colonialism comming out of the Holland region of the Netherlands

    I just stumbled upon this today while grumping to myself about how I can't find a decent 1660/70s player-modded justaucorps for the game the Sims 4. People really go feral for Versailles content but there's like a gigantic hole for content between Tudors and Versailles. It makes me sad because I love the full breeches, wide skirt look. Can't find any good Cavalier fashion stuff, either. The 17th century is underappreciated in a wide variety of pop culture spaces!
    Anyway *touches all your buttons and then leaves like a rakehell*

      This brings back memories of playing Sims 2! I had a 17th century save, but of course there was no baroque stuff to be had, so I just had to make do with 18th century 😢

    The large buckles were called baldrics and they were absolutely essential to male-wear of the time.

    Curly hair was all the rage, and frankly, of course you don't like it, you're a 21st century gal! Curly hair is extremely rare among European and Asian ethnicities.
