I’ve been really interested in the history of Rome lately and I noticed something, I really like the way ladies did their hair up back then, plus the clothes seemed more comfy

Anyone else got a thing like that? Where they have a fondness for an aesthetic that no longer is widely used or likes a style of clothing/architecture/what have you that aint a thing no more?

I really love 40s and 50s women’s fashion for some odd reason. Clothes were so much more well made and much more flattering. It’s an extremely pretty and fun style. idk about the other elements of the time, interior design was so tacky lol, but some midcentury design is cool and I like the graphic design as well.

I have a similar passion for victorian fashion, specifically the 1890s, but sadly it’s much less socially acceptable to wear in public lol. I love the hairstyles and the silhouettes of the time. give me a good petticoat and bustle and I’ll be in love. The attention to detail and ornateness on older clothes is beautiful in a way we never see today. Basically I guess I wish clothes were more well made. Fast fashion has seriously killed any sort of art in people’s everyday wardrobes.

I used to love 40s and 50s fashion, but then my ex cheated on me with some chick that literally had that as her aesthetic and I can’t get over it ever since. Victorian and late 18-th century are better anyway
