Line 7:
See also [[Gorgeous Period Dress]] and [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]. If a character's whole ''personality'' is stuck in a bygone era, you've got [[Disco Dan]].

== Anime and Manga ==
Line 47:
* The dentist in ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' loves Japan, so he wears a kimono in his spare time.
* ''[[Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger]]'': The rangers wear color-coded garb from their ancient time when untransformed, and it looks pretty damn cool.
* Guidelines for writers and costumers on ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' mentioned that John Steed's clothing style was superb "but not altogether conventional" — this typically wound up looking Edwardian. (Patrick Macnee had a hand in designing his character's clothes.)
== Music ==
* When not dressed in his [[Badass Longcoat]], [[Doctor Steel]] usually dresses in an Aristocratic neo-Victorian [[Steampunk]] style, complete with top hat. (He even has his own personal clothier!)
* [[Steampunk]] [[Chap
* Revo of [[Sound Horizon]], [[Sure Why Not|amused by the fact that the fandom]] [[Creator Worship|decided to crown him king]], has taken to wearing ruffled shirts, embroidered waistcoats, cravats, breeches, and other such anachronistic items almost any time he's in
== Video Games ==
Line 89 ⟶ 90:
* [[Of Corsets Sexy]].
* Arguably the entire reason for [[Steampunk]] fashion, though in its drive to be [[Rule of Cool|awesome]], it ends up with a fair amount of [[Anachronism Stew]]. It's a pastiche of roughly 1850s-1910s fashion, with a generous helping of [[Sci Fi]] mixed in.
* Similarly, this is a major reason a lot of people join the [[Society for Creative Anachronism]].
* [[Waistcoat of Style|Waistcoats]] and pocketwatches.
* Long, over-the-elbow gloves for women; often called "[[Opera Gloves]]" (no prizes for guessing at what event they were worn), these were standard accessories of ladies' costume for evening wear (and often daytime wear) from the late 1880s through the late 1950s; they also showed up in the [[Regency England|Regency era]].
Line 96 ⟶ 98:
* [[Prince]] and The Revolution did this in [[The Eighties]], in [[Rummage Sale Reject]] style. And it worked.
* National costumes from all parts of the world tend to fall into this territory and are often entirely made up in a much later period than what they are supposed to represent, as the national pride rears its head. Needless to say, they tend to be far too colourful and elaborate to have been remotely affordable [[Newer Than They Think|before the late 19th century]].
** Averted however in certain cases like Japanese ''kimono'' (variations of which have been around for several centuries) or the Filipino ''Barong Tagalog'' (which evolved from precolonial attire and is suited to the local climate).
* [[The League of STEAM]] are often written about and interviewed as leading examples of steampunk style.
* The "bluecoats" of Christ's Hospital boarding school in West Sussex, England are not only among the oldest school uniforms still in use. For while their present form's virtually unchanged for over 200 years, they've held up remarkably well to the point that when it was brought up to finally update the look in 2011, the vast majority of students refused.
* Ninnajinomiya Yoshiaki wore full samurai armor when he commanded the Imperial forces during the 1868 Boshin War. A conflict where metallic cartridges were near universal.
