what are your historical class headcanons?

oooooooo boy okay i wasnt expecting anyone to actually ask BUT this is one of my favourite special interests so here goes (long post w/ imgs sorry!!)

disclaimer my only fashion history qualifications are Autism and if u know more/know better please tell me lol

im extrapolating the time period from the kameras mainly which i think lands us solidly around the 1850s-ish which means im going to *gestures vaguely in the direction of the 19th century* use all those decades

anyway in my ideal historically in/accurate genshin universe ill focus on mondstat for now SO for amber and eula i like this fashion plate

which is published about 1800 im not exactly striving for 100% historical accuracy here so well i think these dresses are pretty and i think the gold bag/jewelery/feather on eula's fits with her canon outfit & her aristocratic background; in My Ideal Universe, amber's is more homemade, more hand-me-down and reworn (its hard to see but you can see eula's hemline doesnt quite skim the ground, so you can see the tip of her shoe, but amber's kind of piles up on the floor -- neither of which are exactly Abnormal but again. this is my ideal universe so i can make whatever headcanons i want). also the necklines here and the flamboyancy of their headwear is pretty masculine

so well for lisa i think the turn of the century 1800-1810s empire style is really fitting actually because the whole neoclassical movement affects inspiration from grecian/roman styles and i think that really suits her.

because the dress style is so simple it doesnt really require like big hoopskirts or anything that might change movement or accessibility, it mostly just utilises like classical drapery style with light easy fabrics personally i think that style and the implications of that style really suit lisa so

if u spend an inordinate amount of time staring at the characters canon outfits like i do i think you can kind of notice that diluc's outfits have a lot of similarities to... okay this is kind of a reach BUT hear me out it reminds me of like 1800s european military uniforms.. something about the coattails, the high collar, the half-assed epaulettes. idk i think this is a huge reach lol

okay for jean i have like. two options 1. 1890s-1900s silhouette with the emphasis on Shoulders and this kind of heavily tailored masculininity

i think this sort of style matches nicely with her canon outfit anyay, the formfitting masculine look but its still like. decorated and elegant (i fucking love this decade tbh). i think the hemming and the decoration on the lapels in the picture above look kind of similar to what jeans canon outfit is like lol. also the shape of her sleeves. delicious

my second option for her is i think it more suits her alt outfit and its 1811 so its the same style as what i think lisa would wear. its cute its easy actually i really love the corset detailing on this dress its so cute

well anyway thats like 4 and a half characters i could probably spitball my way through the rest of them but i dont want this post to be too long lol anyway wow i love dress history okthanksbye
