Romance is back in style. And it's not just about bows and flowers. Ukrainian designer Andre Tan shared tips on how to create a romantic look by combining lightness, tenderness, and modern aesthetics. Airy fabrics, pastel shades, and delicate silhouettes will help highlight femininity and add softness and charm to your wardrobe.
Romantic style: Brief history
Romantic style in clothing emerged in the 19th century as a response to the restrictions and strict standards of earlier eras.
At that time, women began to reject rigid corsets in favor of lightweight, airy fabrics that allowed the body to move freely. This style became a form of protest. It was associated with freedom, authenticity, and femininity.

Romantic style isn't limited to dresses or floral prints.
It also includes lace blouses, silk skirts, pastel sweaters, and tops with sheer sleeves. Even denim can be styled romantically.
