The ton was the high society in the United Kingdom during the late Regency era and the reign of King George IV, and later. The word means, in this context, "manners" or "style" and is pronounced as in French ([tɔ̃]). The full phrase is le bon ton, meaning etiquette, "good manners" or "good form" – characteristics held as ideal by the British beau monde. The term le beau monde (pronounced [bo mɔ̃d]), literally meaning "the beautiful world" (but here meaning "fashionable people," or "fashionable society"), was similar to le bon ton during the late 19th century.
