Victorian Walking Suits for Men

Walking suits were very prevailing for men during the victorian period. Men had a favor to walk in leisure. And in nowadays, men do not wear this kind of clothes but more for costume use. The best walking costume for man is a suit of tweed, ordinary boots, gloves not too dark for the coat, a scarf with a pin in winter, or a small tie of one color in summer, a respectable black hat and a cane.

The inside shirt is good to be quite plain. The shirt collar should never have a color on it, but it may be turned down. The scarf, if simple and of modest colors, is perhaps the best thing worn round the neck; but if a necktie is preferred it should not be too long, nor tied in too stiff a manner.
The coat should be in a full and loose design and has a long tail in back. Coats, especially in the victorian period, had center front closure with button other than with zippers. Besides, the black was mostly applicable color.
When it comes to the pants, men usually wear a pair in brown or dark colors with plaided or stripped design. Though the black pants are formal, most men in victorian period did not like this kind of pants.
