Esta pesquisa trata da divulgação e uso de peças comumente relacionadas ao vestuário masculino por mulheres no Brasil entre 1851 a 1911. A partir de pesquisa em jornais, que divulgavam tal moda, e de retratos fotográficos, que permitiram reconhecer o uso desta moda no país, foram feitas reflexões sobre que mulheres poderiam usar tal moda e em que contextos. Paletós, coletes, gravatas e calças foram os artefatos privilegiados nas análises para compreender os sentidos construídos em torno deles e os impactos provocados nas dinâmicas corporais e sociais que tais peças produziram.

This research focuses on both the advertisement and actual wearing of pieces commonly related to mens clothing by women in Brazil ranging from 1851 to 1911. Starting from publications of the period focused on new fashion trends and photographs the research was able to find evidence of such fashion trends in the country. Reflections were made on limiting which women were able to wear such fashion trends and in which contexts they were allowed to. Coat, vests, ties and trousers constitute privileged artifacts for a deeper comprehension on the significances surrounding them and the impacts they have caused on bodily and social dynamics that resulted from them.
