Who Wore it Better? Fans Pick Best Dressed Bridgerton Male (And It's So Not Colin)
It's no secret that Bridgerton takes plenty of creative liberty when it comes to its depiction of the Regency-era drama.
One of the elements of the series that isn't historically accurate is the costumery, but fans love their take on the historical fashion.
The opulent, glamorous dress styles worn by the characters in the Bridgerton series are a visual feast for fans. Both the men's and women's costumes are elaborate and intricate, conveying the grandeur of high society during that period.
When it comes to Bridgerton, fans don't just appreciate the gowns, headdresses, and corsets worn by the women, because the men dress pretty well too.
The Reddit community came together to vote for who they found to be the best-dressed male.
Out of all the dashing men of Bridgeton, fans' votes named none other than Anthony Bridgeton as the best dressed, with his brother Benedict Bridgeton taking a close second, followed by the handsome Duke of Hastings, Simon Bennet.
Looking at the results, one might assume that a good sense of fashion runs in the family with the Bridgerton brothers taking first and second place, but they would be wrong.
Colin Bridgeton came out second to last. It seems he may need some tips from his older brothers.
Fans attribute Anthony's place at the top of the list to his elegant and sophisticated style, and more importantly the scenes where he is in his loose, unbuttoned white shirt in the library storm scene and a scene at the lake, more so when it was water soaked.
Anthony is also praised for his choice of jackets that perfectly finish off his outfit. In the case of his brother Benedict, it's his waistcoat choices that fans love.
Benedict Bridgerton is an aspiring artist, and although his outfits are often more centered around comfort and neutrality, his waistcoats often grab fans' attention as he uses them as a way to add a colorful and fun touch to his outfit.
Redditors on the discussion thread mention waistcoats with tulips, and one with bees among a few that stood out to them.
Simon Basset's third place surprised some fans, who may consider him to be in a league of his own on the show. His style is sophisticated and stylish, and his tailoring is done with great attention to detail.
One item of clothing that kept getting brought up was Simon's red velvet jacket, which was truly iconic.
As for the rest of the nominees, cousin Jack took last place, with Colin Bridgerton and Will Mondrich receiving very few votes, but more than Jack. Ouch.
Fans have no doubt that season 3 will not disappoint when it comes to wardrobe, and hopefully, the characters at the bottom of the poll will have a chance to redeem themselves.
