Baroque man's wig with tail white

The white baroque men's wig with tail is an eighteenth-century style men's wig with rolled curls along the ears and a tail at the neck. The most striking feature is the back: the curls continue down below the back of the head, where a black bow ties the hair together into a short, curled tail. You wear this wig in Rococo style as a gentleman during Carnival or at a historical theme party.

Curls, tail and bow up close

• The wig is pure white and has a full forest of small curls across the entire back of the head.
• Along the temples are rolled curls that half cover the ears.
• At the neck, the hair is tied together with a black bow into a curled tail.
• At the front, the hair is combed smoothly back, leaving your forehead clear.
• The hair is made of 100% polyester.
• The wig is intended for men and comes from the Boland brand.

Why does a Rococo wig have a tail instead of loose hair?

A Rococo wig ties the hair together at the neck with a ribbon, while the older allonge wig from the seventeenth century fell in long curls over the shoulders. Around the middle of the eighteenth century, this shorter, neat men's wig became the standard attire at court and in the concert hall. The light color refers to the powder with which wigs were dusted at the time. This model has that tied-together tail, keeping your collar and shoulders free: choose it if you want to portray an eighteenth-century composer or courtier, and a loose-hanging model if you are playing a seventeenth-century monarch.

How to wear the men's wig during the parade

Comb your own hair flat back before putting on the wig, then the smooth front will stay tight. A high collar or a lace jabot makes the black bow at the neck stand out well, precisely because the public in a parade often sees you from the side or from behind. A long coat with gold-colored brocade and a triangular cut completes the period look, although you buy that separately from the wig.

Order the wig and join in the Carnival as a courtier from the Rococo era.
