>>15832778
Here's this same style but with the philosophers Descartes and Spinoza.

>>15832781

>>15832778
Closest thing I can think of is probably something like this where its a collar attached to a sweater or something.
Sadly though, it's a pretty feminine style and you're probably a dud :(

>>15832808
On the up side though, this chink chick is pretty hot.

>>15832808

that style has been popular for years with normies who want to think they're dressing up

Traditional dress from my home country. Not very common (unless old) back home and obviously not at all seen in the UK where I live.

And OP, that style of hat isn't too uncommon, maybe you could just wear that if you feel like it.. speaking of which, I wonder what shoes the (rich) Dutch Merchants wore, will have to research it

>>15832778
>tell them how they can still rock the aesthetic in a socially acceptable way.

sounds fucking boring, just wear whatever you want, stop caring about what others think of you.

>>15833280
Thanks Maldives bro.
I always liked turbans but they aren't common in the west, and I'd have to face accusations of cultural appropriation from retards about it.

>>15833393
Wear a really layered wrap-hijab instead and when they accuse you of cultural appropriation just say you identify as a trans female muslim

>>15833345
>Just LARP like a complete autist bro and ignore what people think of you (i.e. give up any chance for normal everyday interactions)
>t. guy who probably dresses normally
Sorry but I'm not rich enough or insane enough to do that, I'm a normie not an eccentric.

>>15833395
kek, they'd probably short circuit.

>>15833393
Based, speaking of cultural appropriation, I like the Ancient Chinese style robes, I believe they are called Hanfu.
I specifically like the thing were they cross their arms and connect the long sleeves together like in pic rel.
It looks pretty cool in my opinion.

>>15833470
Well you're in luck, the Hanfu revivalist movement is pretty big right now, look up Nanzhi999 on douyin :p

>>15833517
Based, any males who do this trend?

Is it even possible?

Closest thing I can think of is hoodie+mask combo.
Are masks even /fa/?

>>15833470
Ironically this is the 16th c. Jesuit missionary - priest, Nicolas Trigault / Trigaultius, scholar chronicler translator (of Matteo Ricci's "China Journal") wearing classical Chinese hanfu as a form of inculturated clerical dress. The setting of Rubens' painting is a chapel with the altar visible behind. The Jesuit missionaries to China received authorization from Pope Paul V to develop vernacular inculturated Mandarin Rites for China, with controversial Confucian elements. This caused much conflict with other Catholic missionary orders, (i.e., Dominicans & Franciscans) and these "Confucian Rites" were later suppressed by the Holy See.

>>15832778
Interesting thread and will be cool to see the effay adaptations coming out of this.

>>15834676
Fucking Anti-christ, satan worshiping ( ( ( J e s u i t s ) ) )

How do I channel the aesthetic of ancient Greco-Roman fashion? I have the spirit of a patrician, but I want to feel like a Roman Senator or Pontifex Maximus.

Full-body spandex is surprisingly acceptable if you are carrying a bike helmet.

>>15834871
Do you genuinely enjoy wearing spandex though? maybe it's because I was fat as all feck when I was younger but I hate revealing clothes like that.

Can I just wear a skirt without being thought of as gay?

Go full chaperon

>>15833397
Nah, im eccentric as fuck and dress like i'm from the 1970s, not rich either, unemployed. people actually respect you if you have the balls to dress how you want because you have more self confidence. It's a myth that dressing like everyone else will mean you will be accepted.

>>15835579
>being thought of as gay
stop caring what people think
wear what you want

>>15833393
That's not a turban, it's actually a hood worn upside down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtiY8MDXAm8

>>15833393
It's not a turban, it's a chaperon. It has no relation to the turban.

The turban develops out of two styles. The first comes from the Middle East, developing ultimately from the Sumerians. In short, if you live in a hot sandy place, you want to drape breathable fabrics over yourself. But they get in the way, so you bunch them up on your head. Something similar develops in India, independently (or rather, if it isn't independent it's so fucking far back that it might as well be).

The chaperon is an independent European invention. Peasants would wear a thick cloak with a hood. The form could vary, sometimes it was basically a hoody, sometimes it was a tanktop with a hood, it doesn't really matter, point is it has a hood. To save time, a long "tail" would develop on the hat. When they wanted to cool down, the wearer would take the cloak off, but put the hood on the head, so it would "hang" off of the head. Eventually, the garment would be wrapped around the head to keep it from dangling, using a sleeve (if it had one) or the long tail to act as a fastener.

>>15835854
It eventually became fashionable to do this, rather than to wear the garment as a cloak. The tail was then extended to allow for it to be a hat, while the rest of the cloak shrunk.

At some point, they started padding the chaperon.

>>15835857
The man in that pic has a "donut", which was common. The chaperon would wrap around, and contain, a donut of some soft, light material. This was very fancy. Less fancy men wore something like pic related, which didn't have the donut, but was lighter. Also, you could actually wear this for warmth, unlike the donut varieties (the man in the video in >>15835836 demonstrates this).

The chaperon would eventually decline in fashionability. However, it would retain a presence in academic, formal dress.

>>15835836
I actually happened to know that but I said turban because I assumed that was the generic term for "towel head" lol.
On a related note, I would love to dress in the renaissance and medieval style.

>>15835865
Pic related, the thing on the left with the lion (the black sash) is an epitoge. It's a hyper-evolved form of the chaperon, which was traditionally draped over the shoulder in the presence of nobility and the clergy. I'll post another one, these take a variety of forms. Some can actually be used as a hood, or are a hood that has a drape. These only show up in traditional lawyer's garb, or as academic dress.

>>15835867
Even if it were, the chaperone is too structured to be a simple towel.
By your logic a sou'wester hat is also a turban.

>>15835871
Another.

>>15835876
The Byzantine Thin Toga is another example of a PEAK /fa/ hyper-evolved garment. Had the Ottomemes not happened, I'd wager it would survive today as a long thread.

>>15835878
Alternatively, maybe as a long ribbon, about as thin as a finger.

Another Byzantine thin toga.

>>15835874
Fair point, although I meant more so that it looks like (and essentially is) a pile of cloth wounded around your head which a sou'wester hat clearly is not (not even superficially like the chaperone does). On a side note, the painting I originally posted by Jan Van Eyck is sometimes called "Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban" despite him not actually wearing a turban; it just goes to show how superficially similar they are. It is fundamentally different though, I will admit this, and I was incorrect when I called it a turban.

I do. Wearing pic related right now. Really is like wearing nothing at all, but better. I think I feel less physically tired because of the tight compression.

I've walked through downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa wearing a purple unitard. It really doesn't matter if you own the look.

I want to create a semi formal outfit for summer based on this Sherrif uniform,. I feel like just wearing the colours wouldn't be enough, I'd need some accessories to give it some flavour/make it look more like the uniform (belts etc).
