While the pandemic has influenced fashion trends to skew toward athleisure and loungewear, the popularity of Netflix’s much-discussed new show, “Bridgerton,” is making a case for swapping comfort clothing for more fanciful attire this spring.

The British period drama, which was adapted from author Julia Quinn’s historical romance novels, has exploded in popularity on the streaming service since its debut on Dec. 25 thanks to its dramatic love story, “Gossip Girl”-Esque narrator and its opulent 1813 British society-inspired costumes.

Floral embellishments were a constant element of the costumes in “Bridgerton,” especially among the Featherington family who had the detail incorporated into their brightly colored dresses and headpieces. The Featherston family’s bright color palette contrasted that of the Bridgerton family’s, specifically the show’s protagonist Daphne Bridgerton, who looked to pale and neutral-colored dresses that featured jewel details.
