Fin de Siecle Travel Chic

Via ClassyintheCity

I am such a fan of turn of the century, travel-inspired fashion. Back when travel was the ultimate luxury and people carried big steamer trunks full of souvenirs from the world over, people dressed to impress when globe trotting. There was such glamour paired with practicality and while British Imperialism certainly wasn't, compassionate shall we say, it did give rise to some of the great, enduring fashions in history. A touch of the exotic, of safari chic, was introduced into the classic British style.
