dérobérons

The term "dérobérons" originates from the French language and can be understood in a few distinct contexts, primarily related to historical military attire and fashion. In a military sense, a dérobé was a type of loosely fitting or overlapping garment worn by soldiers, often as part of their uniform or for practical purposes. These garments were designed for ease of movement and protection, and the name suggests a style that concealed or "hid" the body's form to some extent.

Beyond the military, "dérobérons" also referred to a fashion trend, particularly prevalent in the 18th century. This involved clothing with a deliberately sloped or sloping shoulder line, creating a silhouette that was perceived as fashionable at the time. The "dérobé" effect in fashion was achieved through specific tailoring techniques that intentionally altered the natural shoulder shape. This stylistic choice was a departure from more structured or padded shoulder designs, reflecting evolving aesthetic preferences in aristocratic and courtly dress. The term encapsulates a specific visual characteristic, denoting a garment or a stylistic element that creates a particular impression of shape and form.
