We’re in solid agreement around here that Gwyneth Paltrow is pretty much perfect in the film Shakespeare in Love. You can only imagine our excitement when we spied hints of her character on fall runways. Romantic opulence was the name of the game, as full-length lace gowns, baroque crowns, and even capes made a big splash.
While we always considered ourselves more of an Ophelia of sorts, we’re super stoked to see some of the more stoic personalities come to life as well. With fall on the upswing, we’re eager to incorporate accents of this trend into our wardrobes — from sweeping dresses to extravagant jacquard pants. For a basic interpretation, consider throwing on a bold brocade blazer over a high-collared blouse with a ruffled bib necklace and slim trousers.
Here, we share key items to achieve this trend on your own. Read on to see these must-haves!



















Shakespeare is always a win! Those trousers from Topshop are too amazing, I’m in LOVE!!
