Bridgerton


 Most of us avid Bridgerton watchers are quite familiar with the ‘ton’. But what is the ton exactly?

It comes from the French 'le bon ton', which can mean 'good manners' or 'good style'. It was used to refer to high society that included; royals, aristocrats, and the wealthiest, best-connected members of the middle classes. The ton were the trendsetters and influencers of their day. They followed a strict code of etiquette and decorum and failing to do so could lead to ruin!
