Increasingly in the 19th century, people left the towns in the summer for holidays and day-trips to the country or the sea-side, providing new opportunities to wear comfortable, practical yet attractive clothes. Shorter walking skirts were worn and bonnets or hats and parasols to protect the skin. Cloaks with matching skirts were fashionable for country wear in the 1850s.
