During the fin de siècle. 1889 until 1914 about. Not only in fashion but also art, music, photography, thought, etc.

1920s and 30s easily. Best looking suits; huge evolution in military uniforms, which in turn inspired half of modern clothing; revolution in female apparel and introduction of new materials into the mainstream (although bad shit like polyester also came in this era)

I like that era. For me, as I historically reenact, my range is generally much more broad, between the 1770s through 1960s. If I have to narrow it down, I think circa 1840 through 1870 has a sweet spot of the very antique options still somewhat influencing dress, with some emerging modern conventions, such as the modern style of suit coat, as opposed to only frock coats or tail coats. Hat styles were also very diverse during the middle of the 19th century, although tricorns, and even bicorns were out of ordinary street fashion by then, with the latter still getting used for military uniforms, and some very formal events. The top hat was functionally worn as a formal wear hat between the early 1800s and the middle of the 20th century, although the top hat style goes back to the 1780s, or even the 1500s or 1600s, if you include the capotain or Puritan style hats. The period between 1889 and 1914 was great; a lot of modern looking formal wear elements had started getting seen, such as the dinner jacket/black lounge/tuxedo, and even casual wear clothing was quite well-dressed looking, by our current standards, most of the time, by that point without requiring some kind of a cravat or modern looking tie or bow tie all the time, as just before that period, almost every man was seen wearing something around their neck, though I enjoy neckwear. Pic-related is a more casual fur felt hat that I wear, which fits in with clothing styles that correspond to work wear any time between around the 1840s through 1960s, until when most farmers, miners, cowboys, and ranchers probably stopped wearing hats that looked quite like this, except a minority by now. For more dressed up variation of historical 19th century through early 20th century city wear, I sometimes wear a black homburg, bowler, or a particular style of hat that is kind of wide and low-crowned, with a bowler-looking open crown and a turned-up bound brim, like an Orthodox Jewish or Mennonite/Amish hat may look.

Thank you. I am interested in the historical aspect of this conversation, and I wanted to impart the things that I know, a lot of which is from my hobby of historical reenactment, also known as living history. I am not really a war reenactor, I just aim to come up with civilian impressions for certain times. The most warfare related one I do is a medic, carpenter, or maybe a sailor, which does not require buying a firearm, as those are very expensive elements of gear, although knives, daggers, or short swords may be featured as part of their kits, and an axe for a carpenter.

Adam Ant was pretty iconic in terms of the new wave movement. It’s just a matter of having a basic grasp on music history.
