Empire Style

Japanese: エンパイア・スタイル - えんぱいあすたいる
Empire Style

...The Rococo style skirts that followed were fitted with panniers (sleeve frames) made of willow wood and other materials, and were wide and flared out to the sides, making them look like walking crabs. The French Revolution also brought about a return to the natural shape of the body, and the Empire style was created, which respected the slender shape of the ancient Greek body. However, the shape of the skirt became fuller again, and in the mid-19th century, the hemispherical crinoline style supported by horsehair petticoats became popular, becoming a typical fashion during the Second Napoleonic Empire. ...

From [Turban]

…It is said that Napoleon first brought it back to France when he returned from his Egyptian campaign. This turban matched well with the slim Empire style of ancient Greece that was popular during the First Empire. For nighttime wear, gorgeous turbans studded with pearls and jewels were all the rage. …

[Modes of Civil Society]
After the upheaval of the French Revolution, civil society matured in the 19th century, and men's clothing continued to be strongly influenced by British fashion, with tailcoats, vests, and trousers becoming established, and eventually the modern suit was perfected. As a result, men gradually moved away from fashion, and women took the lead in fashion, with a rapid change in fashion, from Empire style to Romantic style, Neo-Rococo style, and bustle style. After Napoleon took power in the coup d'état of 1797, the neo-classical Empire style became popular throughout the First Empire period.

From [Hats]

...Most of the men's shoes were tricornis.
[Modern]
After the French Revolution, the style of classical antiquity came into vogue due to admiration for Greece and Rome, and was called the Empire style after the First Empire. Simple clothing and simple hats were favored, and turbans, caps, cornets, and bonnets were used.
