Yeah, call me shallow. I like clothes, okay?

Which period in history had the best clothes, do you think? For the most hilarious clothes, I'd say Elizabethan. I mean, corsets, big puffy pants and dresses so wide they couldn't get through the door. xd But my favourite fashion might be the Victorian, the period of frock-cut coats and ponytails on men and lace at the wrists and ruffles at the neck of one's shirt. It gave birth to Aristocrat fashion, and who could not love that?

Victorian clothes are classic. They're one of my favorites. I also really like anything that involves puffy shirts! Weird, I know...

Pirate fetish? xd I love the combination of a close-fitting doublet, a puffy shirt and leather boots. It's very Will Turner.

I like today's fashion, where anyone can where whatever the hell they want! But looking back on time, for style I'd like to go with Galad, the Victorian was very sophisticated.

For points in imagination I think the Aztec warriors might take the cake.

Not just the cake, but the candles, a small packet of biscuits and a man who makes amusing balloon animals afterwards.

Asian traditional costumes are the most beautiful, I think. The Vietnamese ao dai (pronounced "ow yai" xd ), for example... Japanese kimonos are beautiful too. The men's kimonos look SOOOOOOOOO comfortable, but women's kimonos are so much prettier. I also like hakama!

Pssh. Forget all those kimonos and ao dai!

The Knights Templar had it going on. If you saw one of these guy charging full tilt and your arse was in the way, you'd be done.

The armor added some nice fear factor to the battlefield. I don't think I'd want to stab a guy who oozes holiness, would you?

Didn't think so...

Well, if you're done dissing my country's traditional garb and glorifying a bunch of deluded religious zealots... stare

I never dissed them. I'm just saying the Templar had shinier stuff.

I don't know why, but I've actually always wanted to wear a kimono. Like a bathrobe made of a cloud. xD

My cousins are Japanese. One of 'em actually wore a kimono and said she didn't want to take it off. So I'm not doubting they're awesome, because the Samurai wore kimonos under their armor in battle, but the Knights Templar were very fearsome. 3nodding

Awful fashion sense, though.

Although, modern fashion isn't too bad.

Early Victorian FTW.

Dickens era basically.

I also like Mid 18th century high class clothes. They shimmer....O.O

And I love military uniforms from about 1840 to 1989 (starting with the British and ending with the Soviets). They have such a grandeur to them...

And they killed every man woman and child Jew Gentile, Christian and Muslim when they retook Jerusalem.
