Mina Le might not seem like an obvious choice for YouTube channel devoted to all things romance. After all, the channel’s primary focus is costuming in TV shows, movies, and fashion subcultures. There’s an emphasis on historical costuming, too.
That said, historical romance is big in Romancelandia. In fact, we’d bet good money that some of our readers write romance in that subgenre, too. If this scenario describes you—or you just like learning more about what your favorite characters are wearing—then Mina Le is a great resource.
With humor, wit, and precision, Mina’s videos follow an easy-going structure, where each video is devoted to a piece of media or a fashion trend. Once the focus is established, Mina breaks down the fashion looks and explains what works about the costumes, along with what was interesting about their construction.
The channel is blunt when these costumes fail, but never truly mean. The recent video on why Bridgerton costumes don’t work is one of my more recent favorites.
