What We Each Wear in a Week: 3 Daily Historical Fashion Wearers

Whenever you have an incredibly niche hobby that ends up becoming a part of your daily life, like wearing historical fashion everyday, it can feel very liberating to meet others with the same deep interest. That's why it was such a joy to create this collaboration with @AdelaideBeemanWhite and @mspennywhistle who are also both daily wearers of historical fashion. In this video, we go through what we each wear in a week, taking you across a journey of seven days of outfits. Even though our clothing all technically fits under the label of historical fashion, our unique styles are incredibly different, making videos like these so much fun to explore.

I, personally, lean more towards mid Victorian fashions and a lot of working-class styles, often opting as well to mix decades or even centuries together to generate looks I love. Adelaide, on the other hand, is very firmly set in the mid 1890s. Grace wears a lot of late Victorian and Edwardian fashion. We hope you enjoy watching this collaboration. I have a lot more fun content planned over the next couple of months, so stay tuned!

Yours, etc.

Thanks for watching! A few notes about this video: Grace also wears historical undergarments everyday (including corsets). Additionally, this video is probably about 9 months in the planning/making, hence why Adelaide's outfits were filmed in January and ours were filmed in October, in case there's some confusion with the timing. Lastly, please go and follow both Adelaide and Grace's Instagram and YouTube channels (links are all in the description) as they both have lovely content and I highly recommend it. I'll be actually releasing a new video a week from now, so see you all next week for another video! 🥰

I love how different you all are! The first girl mixes periods a bit, the second sticks pretty strictly to one time period and is very accurate, and the third mixes fun modern patterns in with her socks and pockets. How fun to see everyone's personal likes and styles.

The little anachronisms like the fun socks and the unicorn pockets in Grace’s style are just perfection. 👌🏻

[AdelaideBeemanWhite]

This collaboration was so much fun! Thank you so much for having me on your channel!

I can see why Adelaide picked that time period! I enjoy androgeny, so I got excited when she said that this was when women started dressing more masculine, as in cool stuff like starched collars!!! And the delight I feel thinking about wearing such cool sleeves every day!!! And, of course, the style suits her and I can see how confident she feels, even when she isn't pretending to be a model. <3

[mspennywhistle]

Thank you so much for including me in this collab, I love how the video turned out!! Also most of the things I mentioned purchasing are from Historical Emporium. I’ve had some of them for years, would recommend

Grace's mixing of fun prints with the historical fashions is so cute! And really drives in the Wear What Makes You Happy

[armitagehux]

Agree, wearing historical fashion doesn't feel costume-y, it's the look of the people around me, how they act, how they take pictures without asking, that makes me feel like a street performer

I’m glad I only found out there was a taboo around outfit repetition after I was old enough to not care. I’m autistic so i just didn’t realise there was an unspoken social rule around rewearing clothes. I can’t even imagine how much clothes someone would need to never repeat a look!

The dinosaur socks are my And the crocodile pockets 😭❤️ you all look so stylish !

Adelaide lives somewhere near me and it is so exciting to see her out walking in the neighborhood. Sadly I am usually in the car. But I wave and hope some day to meet her. Love this video and seeing all the clothing combos. I especially like all the capes and the Ulster coat/cape. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

“I think everyone should wear what makes them happy.” yeeeessss I totally agree with this sentiment.

I loved watching this video — this colab looked so fun to make 😊

Fun story time from one Marry Poppins to another. So I crochet and have since middle school. I had a purse from Walmart that I used as a pencil pouch/yarn holder. I could fit 3 whole skeins of yarn into that thing and often did. One time during math I had finished the test early and had taken out my yarn to start a project. Once most of the class was done one of the other kids noticed me and asked where the heck I had been hiding that yarn. I showed them the rest of the yarn in my bag and they deemed me Marry Poppins.

I loved seeing someone who mixes elements that are wildly out of the time period with their outfits, as I do this a lot. I have been working towards wearing historic clothes every day, mostly from the 1750s to 1780s, but I am not picky about specific years or decades, I have lots of modern, mostly thrifted things that just felt like they were close enough or the right vibe, and I have a renaissance style cap that I often finish this anachronistic jumble off with. It sounds like a mess, but I've felt like it has come together pretty well, made something all my own, so it's really nice to see that I am not the only one that does this sort of thing! It's done so well here too, all of these outfits look great! Definitely a boost to the confidence

Yay for antique fur validation!! I have inherited a couple of furs from my ancestors that I love to wear in the colder months. I feel like I am not only staying warm and comfortable in a practical way, but also celebrating the animals who gave their lives to provide warmth and comfort to my 4th generation self. I do NOT purchase fur of any kind just to be plain about this controversial topic. Thank you for mentioning the comfort of American Duchess shoes. I have often wondered how their shoes would compare to my favorite brand Fluevog. Thanks all 3 of you for modeling your outfits!

I love wearing historical clothing for daily wear. Sadly I don't feel like I own/have made enough clothes to do it everyday yet, but I'm certainly getting there. Love mixing & matching. I think I need a few more shirtwaists and additional accessories and I'll be good to go. Thanks for sharing.

[banannakis]

I do want to bring more historical clothing into my personal style, though the farthest I would probably go back is something along the 1910s or 1920s, the closest I usually get to that is the 1940s or 1950s.

i was in a discord group with grace a few years ago and its so wonderful to see her here, even if we don't talk anymore

[meamela]

I love that all of you did the obligatory with each look. I also do it. It just happens whenever you put on a skirt or dress ;)
