  Men's wear In 1871, a tailoring trade journal observed, “Gentlemen dress as quietly as it is possible to do and there are no extremes in dress". Menswear in the 1870s was marked by sobriety and understated style. Shirts became plain, no longer pleated and heavily starched, which only underscored the crisp, clean line. Lady's wear The first silhouette of the decade began in 1870; the great, circular or oval crinolines of previous decades collapsed into the so-called first bustle style. The bustle was a softly draped protrusion at the back of the waist, created by manipulation of fabric and drapery. This sloped bustle style was supported by horsehair-ruffled petticoats or crinolines, an adaption of the earlier steel crinolines. A crinolette consisted of rows of fabric-covered steel half-hoops. Bustled dresses of this period were frothy confections, with layers of ruffles, pleats, and gathers. Many featured looped overskirts or long bodices that were draped up over the hips; these were often referred to as “polonaise” style dresses. Source: fashionhistory.fitnyc.edu/1870-1879/
