If you could routinely pull this off without any significant negative repercussions, what era's clothing would you primarily adopt? link |
Dschebe | 05 Jul 2019 5:14 a.m. PST |
Loose roman or early slavic summer clothes. |
Herkybird | 05 Jul 2019 5:18 a.m. PST |
Modern – life without zips,Velcro etc and modern fabrics and buttons is unthinkable to me! Mind you, Anglo Saxon kit is cool! |

Roman would probably be good for the South Florida heat |

Late Victorin business clothing… Frock coat etc.. |

Modern. All that heavy wool & cotton too much for Texas in the Summer. Folks back in the early 19th century we're tougher than I'm , and I'm sure they smelled like it. |

A trifecta – Jacobite Highlander in kilt (summer), Late Victorian (spring/fall) or Georgian including lace and powdered wig (winter) |

I'd drop back about 50-70 years--suits (with hats) for business, funerals and church. Slacks, shirts and ties for school and casual. And if you have a tear in your clothes you sew it up or patch it. You don't buy the clothes with tears put there by the manufacturer. Might keep loafers. |

Robert, Some of my colleagues already accuse me of dressing 50 to 70 years behind the times. With the exception of a few who wear a tie and jacket for photo day, I am almost the only faculty member who regularly wears (except for summer) a jacket and tie to work: usao.edu/directory/kevin-crow |

Regency period or early/mid Victorian. I'd like a top hat like Brunel's! |
Gunfreak | 05 Jul 2019 12:37 p.m. PST |
Regency period, specifically British military. |
Cerdic | 05 Jul 2019 3:15 p.m. PST |
Anglo-Saxon period. They wore very practical outdoorsy kit that was well adapted to the British climate. |

I actually do wear period dress pretty often, the period being the 1980s (when I was in my 20s): -preppy: Members Only jacket, polo shirt (collar popped, of course), baggy khaki pants, Vuarnets -New Wave: relaxed pastels -- think Miami Vice -ska: white shirt, black pants, skinny black necktie -- or black shirt, white pants, and skinny white necktie -- I'm still looking for just the right hat for this look |

I can just about pull off that Rude Boy look, too, with stuff in my closet. Except the hat. I don't have any hats like that any more. |
