No historical underpants, thank you

As open-minded as the 21st Century has become, acceptable fashion still falls within a pretty narrow margin.

If it was perfectly acceptable to wear clothing from any time period, movie, TV show and etc - what would you be wearing?

I'd probably end up wearing the standard 't-shirt and jeans' ensemble on most days, just for comfort. If I had to attend a formal occasion, perhaps the late 1700's gentleman thing - the whole wig-and long coat look. (Though I don't know about the tights...) the Musketeer garb is pretty snazzy too.

What kind of nerd would I be if I didn't admit that the Star Trek uniforms are pretty cool - I'm thinking the latter years of The Next Generation.

If everyone dressed any way they wanted, what would you be wearing?

  1. 20's era pulp noir detective. How cool would that be?

    The best part about wearing a Next Generation uniform would be tugging on it every time you got up like Picard.

  2. toga? also from the original Star Trek episode where the crew discovers the greek/roman dieties--so, let's say the 1960s Hollywoodesque Togas . . .

  4. 1940's maybe - sleeker than the 50's and not as fussy and constraining as other decades. Sure, the flapper thing would be good, but once that fringe knots up, it's hell combing it out.

  5. Are we allowed to go back as far as the Adam & Eve days when clothes weren't an option?

    That would be my first choice.....otherwise, I would pick the here and now.....when has fashion ever been so comfortable or varied in styles as today?

  6. Does 'Superman' count as a time period?

    Just kidding (maybe).
