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?

    In purely aesthetic terms the 1890s to the 1910s, generally stuff was more ornate. Think something like this picture. But like not just architecture and things like that, but the less significant things as well. Like how a lamp or a pen or a phone looks. I think it's called the applied arts? The 30s are cool too though.

      oof turn of the century shit is so cool, I wonder if it'd have the same mystique without the knowledge of what was coming. something about the boundless optimism getting crunched in ww1 is super narratively interesting
