Women's - 1920's, but downplayed a little. The cloche hats are so fucking cute, the short bobs, knee-length rectangular dresses, lipstick, dark eye makeup, the film noir and silent film aspects... not big on 1920's brows though.
Men - Same era. Wool suits with suspenders look dapper as hell.
What is this "fashion" you speak of?
The late 30's and 40's produced stylish suit that I like. A classic look.
My mom says I'd have fit right in with the hippies of the late sixties through the seventies. Girls went braless almost everywhere, and that's the style I'd like best. The less clothes, the better!
Victorian/Edwardian Era. TradGoth/Post Punk and gotta love the 50's. nothing modern for me--too boring.
For both men and women, around about 1905-1910 would do me just fine. Ruthless s-shaped corsetry, slim outlines and fabulous suits for men with jackets that finished just above the knee.
EDIT- actually, extend that to art and houses too. My house was built in 1905 and has lots of lovely art nouveau elements.
Extravagantly frivolous, feminine, golden-era Hollywood. The men's fashion around this time was just as good as well! However, I do like a lot of depictions of futuristic fashion, so hopefully something in the next 10-20 years becomes a new favorite.
Victorian and Edwardian Era.
Others are TradGoth/Post Punk but no please don't tell me about crust punx--no thank you.
I love clothes of any era that scream FEMININE and those years after World War Two do just that. Dior captured the spirit of an era where women wanted to shed themselves of uniforms and utility clothes. I have always adored big swishy skirts, white fitted blouses and so forth.
With my music taste of Progressive Rock and Northern Soul , it has to be the 70s for me.
Although I do like clothes from the 30s and 40s as well .
I am in my thirties and am increasingly convinced I was born in the wrong era! I love the clothes from the post-WW2 era and into the Fifties, but I also adore the music of that time. The radio in my car is permanently tuned to the 40s Music channel on SXM radio. I also like to see men in smart gray suits, white shirts and tasteful silk ties.
