Thoughts on 18th century men's fashion?

[Nadim171]

I really like those Wigs, actually back in the day all men wore it, especially gray ones. I also like those short pants with long socks and the shirt. The only problem is that it takes a long time to put on.

[SueShe]

Never mind the time it takes to put on but when you have diarrhea and desperately need to relieve yourself. by the time you get all those buttons undone, the mishap is long done.

But I admit, clothing had style in those days but it was also the sign of a certain social status only.

Nowadays, even a "hobo" can wear a pair of jeans and he can be mistaken for a rich person compared to the way some dress with holes in their pants...

[Nadim171]

Yeah all that is true

[Anonymous]

Pretty cool and fancy.
The clothes are nice, especially the "peasant" clothes.

[OfDeath]

It was ridiculous. However, it was a slight improvement on the 16th and 17th century fashion which was even more embarassing.

[Nadim171]

Why embarrassing?

[OfDeath]

Have you seen it?

[Nadim171]

Yeah

[OfDeath]

Then I need not say more.

[Tyffen]

It's fancy af... But it looks like it needs to be maintained a lot...

[Nadim171]

It does

[Cupcakes33]

Requires too much maintenance, and the wigs are ugly.

[Nadim171]

Not for girls who lived in 1825

[CaptainSmartass]

Looks too much like a judge's robes.

Simples...

[Nadim171]

That's why they still wear those wigs

[PrincessGrail]

Powdered wigs were one of the things the Romantics rebelled against.

[Historylover18]

That's true it was seen as too appealing to the empiricism of the Enlightenment

[PrincessGrail]

@Historylover18 very true

[Historylover18]

Yea.

[PrincessGrail]

@Historylover18 was Hegel a Romantic?

[Historylover18]

Hegel is a very confusing character for me he gives me a headache trying to understand him so I honestly don't know

[Historylover18]

He seems to be a Romantic regarding his German idealism but aside from that I can't make heads or tails of it

[PrincessGrail]

@Historylover18 thank you 😊

[ChiTown33]

Doesn't seem like it'd be comfortable at any time it'd be sweltering in the summer and your legs would freeze in the winter.

[Repa33]

Ugly. Just so ugly. The dumb wigs and pony tails. The stupid shorts and knee highsocks. Its also all very feminine.

I just LOVE this fashion. I even ordered such a garment from a tailor (he had to study a book about 18th century patterns, before he could begin his work). I think this is one of the best centuries for men fashion.

I also like the 18th century rococo style furnitures and architecture... and I just adore baroque music/opera.

[Matt57]

I’m more of a Civil War, and 1920s-1960s kind of guy. Though I do love Tri-Corner hats.

[Historylover18]

You mean the cocked hat? Or Continental hat as the more formal term. I liked those as well

[SexyAshh]

Different. Kind of too girly for me

[Nadim171]

Only the last one looks girly

[SexyAshh]

You asked for thoughts i gave my thoughts, and no, i think they all do.

[Nadim171]

Yes, I respect your opinion but you've never seen what girls wore in the 1800s right?

[SexyAshh]

They wore dresses. Im 24 not just born🤦‍♀️

[Nadim171]

I mean girls didn't wear pants in this period. What they wore was very different

[SexyAshh]

I know but that dosnt take aways from me thinking the frillyness of the mens outfits was girly lol

[Nadim171]

Lol compared to today yes

[BrittBratt2416]

Kinda funny looking, with a feminine twist.

[BrittBratt2416]

But those victorian dresses though... i might wear one if it comes back in fashion lol

[Nadim171]

Yes I also like those!

[Anpu23]

I love that look. I have a lot of clothing from that time.

[Historylover18]

I actually like it though that was very thin fabric which is why they always had so many layers of clothing on

[Smegskull]

Pretty impractical these days with central heating everywhere.

[Anonymous]

I don't know why they wanted to make themselves look elderly

[thegirlfromthething]

Interesting to look at but super unattractive

[dropkicknj13]

I would not wear the wigs

[NerdInDenial]

It seems like a pain in the ass to wear

[BCRanger10]

Don't care for it.

[Hawky_]

My hairs already nearly that colour 🤣

[Nadim171]

Lol😂 let them grow and do this haircut

[Hawky_]

You think? It would be different!

[Nadim171]

Yes!

[Hawky_]

[NovissimumVirorum]
