While we mourn the loss of Regé-Jean Page (The Duke of Hastings) in the upcoming second season, we know Shonda Rhimes will have something just as juicy for us.

Let's not forget we finally found out the identity of Lady Whistledown, and we can't wait to see what havoc is about to unfurl.

But before we step back into the 19th Century, why not prepare for the new season by adding some Regency-vibe fashion pieces to your wardrobe to really feel like a young aristocrat.

One can dream.

Shirts

AERE Collared Puff Sleeve Blouse

While shirts and trousers weren't common among women in the Regency era, this style of blouse would have been similar to the top half of a bustle skirt worn promenading through Hyde Park.

The large puff sleeves with ruffled cuffs offer a flattering silhouette to the chest, while the exaggerated collar gently brings the attention to the décolletage era.

Made from 100% linen, this period-inspired blouse comes in pale pink or white.
