Jane Austen Fashions - Mr Collins of Pride and Prejudice

< Back to Fashions Index

Mr Collins outfit from Pride and Prejudice

The socially awkward Mr. Collins enters the Bennet family's lives wearing the traditionally appropriate clergy garb. Much in line with the gentlemanly fashions of the time, he sports an undershirt covered over in a simple vest. The vest is covered over itself by a long-tailed coat reaching behind the knees. The undershirt is slightly visible at the wrists.

The breeches run into the knee-high socks. Shoes are wholly basic and utilitarian to the extreme, sporting large buckles. The entire ensemble is capped by a rounded hat. His hair is kept short without the traditional side burns common to his time that other gentlemen sport.

Conservative to the core, Mr. Collins placement in society is identifiable from miles away, making him both the approachable clergyman and the avoidable cousin.
