The men's clothes look rather dull compared to the women's in this show. It's not like they have to also look like glittery parrots, but I miss seeing rich fabrics* and decent tailoring in period pieces.

* that don't look like itchy polyester

re the inaccuracy, the people making the show have always said that they aren't even trying to be completely historically inaccurate. The clothes are inspired by regency era and have elements of that, but they lean into the "romantic fantasy" of the show and elevate the clothing to make the scenes more romantic or dramatic.

I have noticed on occasion that some of the outfits look very department store quality over haute couture fashion, but its not something I am looking hard at.

I think season 3 clothes somehow looked less "inspired by" and more Reign levels of costuming.

I can give the quality a pass, because they're clearly going for "inspired by" and at this point the egregious choices are part of the quirk.

However, what gets me is the corsets. Not for the Tightlacing Trope, but for the fact that they're using corsets that don't make sense for the fashion! Why are you using corsets that pull in at the natural waist when the Regency waistline, the very gowns you're using, is just under the boobs?! You could still have your Tightlacing Trope with Regency-era stays (and it would be even more obviously farcical then!)

I like the subtle implication from the wording of this secret that all of the characters are women, including the men.

To be perfectly fair, I think there were some dandies of the time that would totally go for that kind of thing, especially if it were pink and lime green striped.
