Era accuracy - specifically 1880s/90s (men’s, England)
What are the key features that give a piece the look of a certain time period? And what features similarly break immersion, for you personally? Colour, pattern, cut, location-dependency, detail, types of pocket, anything at all. The mistakes that no one else would even notice but which make experts watching a period drama want to ram their head into a wall. I’m talking about things like… idk, “oh that lapel width wouldn’t be seen dead in [decade]” or “oh yeah that’s such a [decade] trouser cut” or “usually that detail wouldn’t fly but you see it in the French fashions of the time” etc. The little things that really pull it together. I’m specifically in this instance trying to envision a men’s waistcoat that would suit the 1880s/1890s (specifically for a fashionable young man; dandy, tasteful, Oscar Wilde-type), and I just want to have an idea from the get-go of anything that will really help sell the look (and anything I should do well to avoid). I’ve looked at fashion plates but I kind of struggle to really detect the fine differences in styles; I don’t have the eye for it yet. I know fashion is hardly a monolith; I just don’t want to put all the effort in only to learn I’ve fundamentally missed the mark somehow. I’ll probably end up making a whole ensemble, so if you know about it beyond waistcoats and such, I’d still love to have that information. submitted by /u/Dawrian to r/HistoricalCostuming [link] [comments]

Jeremy Pope in archival Vivienne Westwood x Mr. Pearl FW96 at the 2026 Met Gala: Fashion is Art (May 4, 2026). The men’s corset jacket, titled “Martyr to Love” f/ a trompe l'oeil torso of handset pearls mimicking a musclebound body, while the back f/ ruby red beaded lacerations.
Vivienne made the jackets in collaboration with corset maker Mr Pearl. Pope was also inspired by his father, a former pastor and professional bodybuilder. Via GQ: “There’s so much that goes into being a professional bodybuilder and putting your body on display to be judged. So in a weird way, it’s like: Let the Met stairs be that performance for me.” Pope pictured with Andreas Kronthaler, Westwood’s creative collaborator and widow. The original jacket was made to Kronthaler’s measurements. Westwood and Kronthaler commissioned the twin pieces from Mr. Pearl, a renowned couture corset-maker, back in the ’90s. Styled by Law Roach. submitted by /u/mod_whatthefrockk to r/whatthefrockk [link] [comments]

Do you think men's fashion will peak in the 2030s?
I noticed men's fashion was at its best in the 80s and 90s. It was more colorful, independent, they grew there hair longer. Now men's fashion is very tame, its all just hoodies for young guys. Middle aged guys just wear polos. There's no pride in being a man, its all just put on whatever is comfortable. With all this stuff with sigma males, looksmaxing and Andrew tate. I do wonder if all this stuff online will actually have an effect in real life or not. It seems like its all just manly online, but could this actually effect men's fashion for the 2030s? For men to dress more prideful or with more individuality? There's already a small culture of men trying to better there looks with looksmaxxing which is basically trying to become handsome and change your facial features. So what's the possibility of that changing into fashion? submitted by /u/Mysterious_Bid_57 to r/generationology [link] [comments]

[LOVED Trope] Characters with designs that imply completely unintended characterization
Redmane (Highguard) - Redmane is clearly supposed to be an attempt at the barbarian wildman kond of character. He's a big muscle guy wearing animal fur that screams a lot and rushes headfirst into fights. Even his character bio describes him as "primal", "bestial", and "barbaric". Yet aside from that he feels remarkably clean and hairless, and what hair he does have is perfectly trimmed with remarkable precision. Even his beard is short and completely absent from his neck. From the neck down this wild barbarian who's primary characterization is being a loud barbarian who yells a lot takes such pride in his appearance that he shaves and manscapes regularly. Aside from an incredibly small batch of hair on his chest and arm pits. Rave Pony (My Little Pony Friendship is Magic) - This is an unnamed background pony who's role was primarily to fill space in a night club-esque party setting, and she pretty clearly takes some visual cues from rave culture with the glowstick necklaces and pacifier. Except...the only reason rave-goers even started wearing pacifiers to raves at all is because sucking on it would stop your jaw from clenching as a side effect of taking MDMA. This means that not only does MDMA canonically exist in Equestria but its so commonly used that workarounds for its side effects are already an established thing. The funniest thing is after people realized this Hasbro rolled with the joke and her name in the Gameloft game is Ecstatic Dancer Magic Earring Ken (Barbie) - Another rave-based one, this one is the result of Mattel trying to modernize Ken with at the time contemporary fashion of the 90s. They sent their workers to go document the hip fashion of The YouthsTM, and the visual reference they used was gay men at raves. The single earring, the mesh t-shirt, the fact his necklace is unambiguously just a cock ring. Like its so obviously a cock ring that denying it makes you look stupid. This Ken is gay. Horatio Magellan Crunch (Cap'n Crunch breakfast Cereal) - The stripes on the sleeves of a navy uniform are not solely for decoration, they also denote rank. One stripe is ensign, two is Lieutenant, three is commander, and four is captain. Notice that? For a long while until 2025, Captain Crunch has had three stripes on his uniform, not four, until 2025. This implies either he was a Commander and legitimate naval officer who just lied about what specific rank he was to be more impressive, or was lying outright about being in the Navy at all submitted by /u/asdfmovienerd39 to r/TopCharacterTropes [link] [comments]

One Year in Melbourne (from Brisbane) - A Review
I have now lived in Melbourne (Malbn) for the past 12 months after having lived in Brisbane and surrounds for most of my life. Here are some minutiae and unrefined thoughts and loose comparisons with Brisbane (my only real point of reference). TL;DR - Melbourne is more challenging but more rewarding than Brisbane. Public Transport $5.50 for a fare is outrageous especially when travelling within Zone 1 (yes I know there's a post about how it's cheaper inflation-wise than 26 years ago but it still stings), especially compared to 50c fares which admittedly only came in at the tail end of my time in Brisbane. But I suppose it works out if you're doing multiple trips within 2 hours No debit card integration - doesn't really affect me but affects visitors City Cats in Brisbane are the GOAT public transport option Trains in Melbourne are mostly clean and quiet. No annoying over the top announcements like in Qld. They also go fast compared to Brisbane, seriously get a move on. I haven’t noticed any hectic delays or craziness often posted here. That said I don’t catch the train 5 days a week Buses and their drivers in Brisbane are better. Here it's a bit perilous Buses replacing trains is annoying but it seems like down here they do huge batches of upgrades/maintenance in a relatively quick timeframe compared to piecemeal over months or years like in Brisbane I haven't really caught the trams as much as I thought I would City Loop confuses me still Myki cards: You have to hover over the reader while basically any technique works in Brisbane. The “open door” button doesn’t work unless the train has actually come to a stop. If you’re inside in Brisbane you can press it before you stop Pretty similar levels of eshay and crackhead behaviour People actually use PT here at night and on weekends e.g. coming back from a night in the CBD. Trains are pretty much abandoned at these times in Brisbane Only two real train lines servicing the west is not ideal but I know it'll change Roads and Driving There is more asshole behaviour in Qld but more inattention and ineptitude in Victoria However many here have the tendency to speed up when you try to overtake. Just due to the amount of people I think I’ve seen more wild shit than in Brisbane The roads are more logically laid out in a grid than Brisbane - for a lot of Brisbane you can't just pop down the next street if you miss your turn, you'll end up in purgatory Peak hour in/out of the CBD is worse in Brisbane owing to its small size and limited access to highways and main arterials. It's worse at all other times in Melbourne Getting three suburbs over can take forever in Melbourne You all love an annoying speed bump or zebra crossing right before a roundabout People take longer to accelerate on a green light but more likely to run a late yellow or even early red. Go figure People here will sit on your arse in the right lane but then won’t have the balls to properly overtake when you move over, a symptom of the harder stance on speeding In Qld you can feel a bit better knowing you’re alert and drive defensively, whereas if your number's up down here it's up. Sharing the road with trams takes a bit of getting used to There's more shit to watch out for when driving in Melbourne generally Coming from the west over the Westgate into the city can be confusing Lots more speed cameras Lots of roads feel slow like they’re 60km when 70 or even 80 feels right. The highway to Geelong could easily be 110 I ride motorcycles and people are generally less hostile towards bikes here in Melbourne, plus parking on a footpath is great You do just have to be more patient getting around in Melbourne and can't react to every time you see a dickhead on the road That said you have to be more proactive and pushy, and people generally respond better, otherwise you'll be waiting around forever. This goes for just general life too Urban Planning I like how more stuff is around train stations eg pubs and shops There seems to be better facilities, shops, and little parks per capita. So you get fewer crowds all pushed in the same area. The CBD is actually a place worth exploring on a weekend, not dead after 6. 'Going into the city' is more of an event, while in Brisbane people avoid it if they can just because it's shit Access to stadiums is king. It’s amazing how fast people can come in and out of the MCG. The Gabba is a nightmare in comparison being surrounded by two main roads that don’t shut down All the different councils seems to breed a healthy rivalry and promotes civic action and town pride e.g. more streets shut off to cars to make a nice dining precinct There is a lot more visual stimulus (probably just because I'm new still) and neighbourhoods in the inner ring all have their distinct feeling with lots to see and photograph, and are more architecturally interesting. Recreation Bike lanes and bike culture seems way more pronounced Lots more casual sport participation and people do seem fitter and healthier (and taller???) There is a lot more incidental exercise in Melbourne e.g. walking to a train station, cycling owing to its more agreeable climate and mostly flat topography On a sunny day you see more people out using park facilities whereas sometimes I got the vibe in Qld that was a bit lame and people would prefer to be in a backyard Footy culture is good and most people can get around it even if they don’t really follow it closely. Maybe cause the barrier to entry to learning AFL is lower than rugby league and more teams creates more tribalism People just turn up for shit, whether that's sport or something else. In general you see a lot more people out and about enjoying the amenities on offer Lots more little parklets and gardens than in Brisbane (maybe owing to the smaller footprint of the councils) Bureaucracy Making an appointment which costs $20 at VicRoads sucks. In Qld you just turn up and go and the costs for most things are lower In Qld it doesn't feel like they're trying to bend you over a barrel for every little thing or whenever you interact with the bureaucracy The post covid slump is more evident in a lot of things in Melbourne Rego is more exxy though it’s nice not being charged on cylinders, though utes getting cheaper rego can get fucked Motorcycle insurance is more expensive, but car club registration rules are cooler here which leads to more car culture and people driving around on weekends with their old cars Victoria feels like more of a police state but less of a nanny state than Qld if you get me Everyone loves to complain either way in Vic and the political environment does seem a bit more heated, in Qld it seems like most of it runs quietly in the background even if there's been some historically authoritarian laws Property prices are generally better for what you get especially in the inner ring, but stamp duty on a property is absolutely fucked down here. Houses are better designed indoors whereas in Brisbane there is more of a tilt to outdoors People People seem to have more chutzpah and outgoing behaviour down here, more likely to say a random remark to you or strike up a chat or laugh. At the same time I feel like if you’re being a dickhead or doing something wrong people will tell you as such, not so much in Brisbane That said hospo workers or retailers have less small talk in them and would prefer if you get to the point which I don’t mind either People dress up more in business settings in Brisbane. Lots of young and digital types drag the average down in Melbourne - less presence of queen st cowboys wearing RMs and a business shirt (with chinos too, yuck) Generally people have more of an individualistic attitude in Brisbane. Somewhat “fuck you got mine” or keep to themselves/their tribe. I had a friend from Melbourne come up and she said people feel more American up there which sounded weird but now I know where’s she’s coming from This feeds into feeling like there’s more bedroom suburbs in Brisbane. Everyone just goes home to their nest, even young people. People seem “domesticated” earlier in Brisbane. Melbourne people are out and about Brisbane can feel quiet on a weekend because it feels like everyone just lives to fuck off to either coast on the weekend, pack up the car and sit on the highway with everyone else - whereas Melbourne makes more out of its urban culture If someone's hogging the footpath or standing in the way in Melbourne it's down to arrogance, in Brisbane it's ignorance. Flip this when driving. There is a lot more NPC behaviour in Brisbane. People are a lot more respectful of 'you do you' in Melbourne, e.g. carrot man. You wanna dress a certain way? You want to do a modelling shoot in chinatown? That's cool man. People tend to move more efficiently in crowds in Melbourne e.g. at markets on a weekend Melbourne can definitely feel like a bubble - e.g. the news is Melbourne dominated - whereas Brisbane seems a bit more outward looking, always looking at Melbourne and Sydney. Fashion Dressing down or looking like you sniff glue or tag trains is a real fashion statement Athleisure culture is on similar levels but manifests differently owing to the weather; Elite Eleven is Melbourne's LSKD. Both are becoming cashed up bogan or eshay attire Puffer jacket culture reigns supreme in Melbourne. I love the oxymoronic thongs shorts and puffer combo that is pervasive here There is definitely more of a distinct “inner Brisbane” uniform for work, play and workouts. Melbourne is harder to pick except for love of black Melbourne is fashionable but seems a lot more “come as you are” while Brisbane still likes to play dress ups, especially when wearing a coat for three days in winter Weather and Climate Melbourne shits all over Brisbane. Controversial, I know. Brisbane is legit becoming unliveable due to how warm and putrid it is for 9 months of the year I have lost weight due to feeling more comfortable to walk around, run and get active outdoors here, and have ironically developed more of a tan. Even in February in Melbourne I was going to the gym and not leaving a sweaty mess. Not the case til late May in Brisbane The temperatures are fine it’s just the shorter days and grey skies that can be tiresome but I’ll take that over endless humidity ill also take a Melbourne 40 over a brisbane 35. At least it’s over quickly here (usually) - sauna vs steam room. Summer is definitely mythologised here. Towns like Apollo Bay and the peninsula are stupid busy. i love the long evenings. At best in Brisbane you’re looking at 6:45pm and a sudden sunset, not a beautiful twilight (and harsh sunrises up north too) I love the seasons and looking forward to what the difference in each brings. Spring was the biggest drag, not deciding if it wants to be 30 or 12. The pollen/grasses affected me more than I thought they would and the pickup in wind gets annoying. So far my least fave season Daylight saving is great, the sun doesn't need to be up before 5 in summer. There is definitely less flexing over how early you wake up in Melbourne because of this e.g. oh I ran, did the laundry and climbed a mountain all before 6am!! The light seems less harsh down here, and things still retain their colour vibrancy. In Brisbane buildings and everything just seems to be more washed out and brown A Brisbane 20 feels way different to a Melbourne 20 I swear Food and Drink The deep multiculturalism means good international cuisine is more on the surface and accessible. I said I was going to a Uyghur restaurant and the first question from someone was 'which one'. I was floored Ethiopian and to an extent good Vietnamese is hard to find in Brisbane. The depth of Japanese food is deeper here The disdain for chains by and large is a welcome thing, and I feel like there are more niche businesses that seem to be doing well Not as many cafes charge like a wounded bull for an iced long black Top tier restaurants tend to be more expensive and hit or miss, or the gems are harder to access. The sheer choice on offer can be overwhelming and can be hard to know if you're picking the right one for your splurge. I think markets are overrated and generally shit in Australia compared to South America or Asia but they do them better here (Queen Vic, South Melbourne, Prahran etc) than in Brisbane Misc Shops open later, Aldi has alcohol - big plus Service at cafes is quicker, coffee comes out quicker Lunch options in the city are on the whole more expensive, and crowded. Definitely less good value lunch places but maybe I haven’t dug far enough Melbourne loves documenting its crime history. It’s harder to dig through Brisbane stuff Phone data and signal can be more patchy here (Optus and Telstra)- maybe more cog nested networks or interference? Melbourne seems more forward in a lot of ways but a lot of ways feels more dated e.g. a lot of high street shops seem like they are stuck in the 90s or 2000s like Union Road in Ascot Vale or Puckle Street in Moonee Ponds. Not necessarily a bad thing I get what people say when they say Melbourne has a 'European' feel. It seems less rat-racey than in Brisbane in a lot of respects such as old men with newspapers chatting over a coffee at their fave cafe for what feels like ages. You don't really see that in Brisbane I feel like the rest of Vic answers to Melbourne, while Brisbane answers to the rest of Qld. Water tastes a lot better here and seems not as hard? I can wash my car no problem, and in Brisbane unfiltered water would clog my coffee machine And yeah, that's about it submitted by /u/salty_catfish22 to r/melbourne [link] [comments]

Gossip Girl (1999)

Being a high schooler in the 90s
Saw this in Facebook and thought it rang true... "If you were a high schooler in the 1990s, you know we lived in a golden window of time: right between rotary phones and social media, landlines and iPhones, mix tapes and Spotify playlists. And man, was it fun. We didn’t have smartphones glued to our hands. We had to memorize phone numbers, call our friends’ houses, and actually talk to their parents first before we could even think about making plans. Friday night plans? You made them at school or hoped your friend called your house before your dad picked up the phone and said, “Who is this?” Music was everything. We had real variety- grunge, gangsta rap, pop, R&B slow jams, and skater punk all living together in perfect harmony. You recorded your favorite songs off the radio on a cassette tape and prayed the DJ wouldn’t talk over the intro. If you got a CD, it was a prized possession. If you had a Discman with skip protection, you were high-tech royalty. Fashion? It was chaotic in the best way. Baggy jeans, flannel shirts, chokers, Starter jackets, and Airwalks. We dressed like we were either going to a Pearl Jam concert or about to skateboard through a Mountain Dew commercial. And those who dared wore JNCOs so wide you could smuggle an entire boombox in one pant leg. We passed notes in class, folded like origami masterpieces, and absolutely no one texted. If someone liked you, they had to tell you. In person. Or they’d ask their friend to do it and circle “yes,” “no,” or “maybe.” School dances were full of awkward slow dances to Boyz II Men and No Doubt, with sweaty palms and butterflies. There was no filming it for TikTok, just living it in the moment. Half the photos were blurry because your disposable camera only gave you 24 chances. We watched TRL after school, recorded our favorite episodes of Friends or Fresh Prince on VHS, and stayed up late to watch Unsolved Mysteries even though it gave us nightmares. If you missed an episode, you just missed it. No streaming. No spoilers. We drove around with no GPS, just vague directions like “Turn left after the old gas station,” and nobody ever knew exactly where they were going, but somehow we always found our way. Being a teen in the ’90s meant real freedom. It meant making mistakes without everyone seeing it online. It meant being present, laughing until your stomach hurt, and making memories that weren’t for content, but for life. We were the last generation to grow up just before the world changed forever. And honestly? We got the best of both worlds. So here’s to the teens of the ’90s. We didn’t have it all, but somehow, we had everything" submitted by /u/Extreme_Raccoon_8736 to r/GenX [link] [comments]

Why the absense of any gay men on a soap set in the fashion world?
Surely, Brooke or even Taylor would have a gay best friend, Stephanie would be squabbling with the gay designers, Eric would most certainly be Bi, sleeping with women AND men. Steffy would also be a power Lesbian. I get it was a no no in the 80s and 90s but the fact the show continued to erase gay characters in the 2000s and later on feels very odd. Not one gay regular character? Oh, I forgot, Joanna Johnson who's gay and played Caroline and her sis, did come back and play a LGBT character. submitted by /u/PM_Peartree to r/boldandbeautiful [link] [comments]

Late ‘90s fashion

People beefing with Portia’s fashion choices probably haven’t spent much time around a college campus in the last few years. She’s the zoomer fashion trend of dressing like a late-90s elementary schooler cranked to 11.
Just watched the show and checked the last year of Reddit posts and saw tons of women (edit: and men, sorry) talking shit about Portia’s fashion sense. But the reality is that she’s actually on top of current trends. I walk through 2 different university campuses regularly and she fits right in. She’s the female fashion equivalent of the permed curly mushroom bowlcut that 90% of the male zoomers walk around campus with. Girls look like they’re trying out for Clarissa Explains It All but frumpier and dudes look like 8-year-old me when my mom was in charge of what I looked like. submitted by /u/ModsArePaidShillz to r/WhiteLotusHBO [link] [comments]

The female fashion models of today are nowhere near as attractive as the models of the 90s
I found loads of archived vintage footage on YouTube lol and I get the impression models of those periods were nearly all classically beautiful no matter what colour they were and most women wanted to be them and men wanted them, I don't think you can objectively say the same today. Has society in general dropped its beauty standards because the differences are quite noticeable submitted by /u/atpbloated to r/unpopularopinion [link] [comments]

Why did men start wearing more conservative ties after the 90s?
Back in the late 80's and 90's you'd see all the male characters on tv wearing ties with flamboyant patterns. Examples: http://imgur.com/U2MOwhu http://imgur.com/za8gQnV Frasier, X files, and even 'The Bill' in the UK. Basically in any show that was on tv at the time you'd see the men wearing something like this. These days it's pretty rare to see that kind of style, especially in a corporate setting. When did more conventional designs, i.e. stripes, polka dots or plain colors, start becoming the norm? submitted by /u/satisfiedfools to r/AskMen [link] [comments]
