Obviously, dresses are an *absolute* must, especially if they have that breezy, high-waisted Regency silhouette. You'll look about ready to waltz your way into fancy parties and hopeful hearts. Shop dresses like this on Etsy ($120) or a more affordable option here.

Opera gloves

Classy and bougie, treat yourself to a pair of elegant gloves to wear during the upcoming opera or your next self-care Netflix binge. Shop gloves like these at Free People ($48) or a more affordable option at Shein ($4).

Corsets

Corsets have been around since the Middle Ages and have had a complex history since, peaking especially in the 1800s. Despite the restricting and oppressive connotations previously associated with this traditional undergarment, the corset has now transformed into a stylish modern fashion staple. Shop corsets like this at Vanessa Mooney ($65) or a more affordable option at Amazon ($18).

Lace bustiers

If you're looking for a more casual and current version of a corset, then bustier tops are *perfect* for you. The structural boning and delicate lace make this piece both classic and trendy at the same time. Shop bustiers at Windsor ($37) or a more affordable option at Yesstyle ($19).

Brocade

Next time you feel like being a couch potato, throw on a gorgeous brocade skirt for a sofa-chic twinning moment. Shop for brocade pieces like this at Lulus ($79) or a more affordable option at Chicwish ($53).

Pearls
