    I love how when the wife does the clothes she makes it look all pretty and elegant but when her husband does it, it looks like he's showing off. "Suave! Handsome! Hello ladies!"

    I wish that more men's suits had brocade patterns on them now! What's a true shocker is that once upon a time men had useless pockets.

    It really is so much fun to see these videos in eras where the phrase "Do you think this is too much?" just doesn't seem to be common vocabulary. And still the look as a whole is elegant. Thank you for sharing!

    This is fabulous! :) That big-wig change at the end, of course, a must. One cannot, CANNOT, be seen in public with less than the best, biggest, curliest, longliest wig ... ;)

    Did a gentleman of his status dress himself? I expected to see a servant assisting him. Still, a very enjoyable change to see a man's ensemble on this site.

    The ancient Egyptians wore long curly black wigs as well...Shaved their heads and wore wigs because of lice problems. .Amazing how the problems and solutions were the same over thousands of years.

    I LOVE the outfit! When he put on the BIG WIG, I thought of that movie I saw earlier this year called: THE MINIATURIST. Don't know why, but I like the 17th century clothes that men and women wore. Thanks for sharing this video! ~Janet in Canada

  • @blackvelvet51
    @blackvelvet51 5 років тому +5

    I love the hair!! Once the wig went on, it just completed the outfit. I initially had reservations about the look, but with the wig and the hat everything came together perfectly. (:

    Thank you, thank you. I'm writing a novel set I. 1662. I can't find much information on clothing of this era. This video is very useful, in fact I downloaded it for future reference. Thank you once again. I would like to see a video of a women's dressing. The wig came into fashion when CHARLES II wore one. He was going grey early. It wouldn't do to have a grey haired monarch on the throne!

    • @mimim.2175
      @mimim.2175 5 років тому +3

      When things become cheaper or more easily available is when they become feminine. The more rare or expensive an item was to produce, the more likely it was part of men's fashion.

    • @prokkle

      It's interesting that floral patterns and long hair came back in the '60s hippie styles, as a revolt against the suit, but only for young men.

      Probably not if the woke mind virus manages to continue shifting culture the way it has. There might be far more unfortunate titles like "How to dress as a 2020's non-binary Streamer". Fashion is dying and we have to reference and embrace history to save it 👍

      Keeping in mind we're looking at clothing of the wealthy elite here, it certainly still feels like the range of textiles & accessories considered "appropriate" for male attire has shrunk drastically of recent decades! Even if you go back & look at what guys were wearing in the '60s-'70s, it was WAY more colourful & out there? 😆 I live in hope that as our social ideas about accepted gender stereotypes keep broadening, hopefully one day guys will once again have access to something more interesting...?
