If you could routinely pull this off without any significant negative repercussions, what era's clothing would you primarily adopt?

Dschebe05 Jul 2019 5:14 a.m. PST

Loose roman or early slavic summer clothes.

Personal logo Herkybird Supporting Member of TMP05 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!

warwell05 Jul 2019 5:23 a.m. PST

Roman would probably be good for the South Florida heat

charared05 Jul 2019 5:41 a.m. PST

Late Victorin business clothing… Frock coat etc..

14th NJ Vol05 Jul 2019 5:54 a.m. PST

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)

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP05 Jul 2019 6:07 a.m. PST

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

Modern, early 21st century.

Personal logo Old Contemptible Supporting Member of TMP05 Jul 2019 11:18 a.m. PST

1930s to 1940s and sometimes 50s-early 60s.

Late 17th, early 18th: long embroidered waistcoats!

arthur181505 Jul 2019 12:27 p.m. PST

Regency period or early/mid Victorian. I'd like a top hat like Brunel's!

Gunfreak Supporting Member of TMP05 Jul 2019 12:37 p.m. PST

Regency period, specifically British military.

Cerdic05 Jul 2019 3:15 p.m. PST

Anglo-Saxon period.

They wore very practical outdoorsy kit that was well adapted to the British climate.

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP05 Jul 2019 4:55 p.m. PST

1920-1930s

von Schwartz05 Jul 2019 5:36 p.m. PST

I'll go with Roman too, it's too Bleeped texting hot here in Florida

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP05 Jul 2019 6:13 p.m. PST

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

… oh, wait. That's what I do wear.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP06 Jul 2019 7:45 p.m. PST

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.

PVT64109 Jul 2019 11:40 a.m. PST

Late 18th Century or 1940s.
