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 like the way basically everything looked in the 1910-1930s era except cars. Cars looked dumb back then like they were obviously designed after horse carriages. Clothing and architecture was cool, everybody drank and smoked even though prohibition was a thing. Even now I love the interior of old homes from that era. They always have old radiators, arched doorways between living room and dining room, tall moulding, some will have curved walls since you can do that with plaster etc.

    I honestly watch some TV shows and movies set in that period mostly just to look at the set design lol

      The TV Poirot adaptation did a really great job on the 30s aesthetic and I rewatch them just for the architecture sometimes

        Yeah I love that show and talk about it a lot when it's mentioned.

        I've been considering watching the Queens Gambit solely because it's the same set designer as Babylon Berlin, even if it's a different time period
