A question about Ivy: What 1920's fashion is her casual clothing from the pilot inspired by?
I've been wondering for a while, since I can't seem to find anything other than dresses when I look up 1920s fashion.
The knickerbockers, knee-socks, and cap were pretty standard boys' and mens' fashion at the time.
It wasn't entirely uncommon for girls and women to wear similar clothing for outdoorsy or athletic purposes too, though. Or if they just felt like it..

Tiny wife enjoys traveling in her husband’s hat 💖
Tumblr media
Chiyo (wife) is normally angry, but Saito knows how to calm her down. Nothing like a traveling on your husband’s hat.

Next in 1930s fashion is Zelda Darlington, who now goes by her wedded name Duplanchier. Although her looks here much more subdued than they were in the 1920s, they fit not only her current life but also her personality. We even see a retroactive return to many of muted tones she wore in her younger years. While these colors are more subdued than the bright ones she wore in New Orleans, they are also far from the somber palette of Josephine’s looks. Rather, they are calming and earthy, much in the same way Zelda views her life now.
Many of her looks are also suitable for work, although there are still hints of a more fanciful style of dress that she enjoyed in the last decade. This includes her wedding look, and even the silk party dress that she has now; however the latter is very much in line with the silhouette of this decade, representing Zelda embrace not only of their new life, but also the hyper-feminine, almost romantic looks that are now in fashion and well aligned with her personal style.
However, much of the growing rigidity of style in the 1930s as compared to the 1920s is absent in her looks, in part due to her lifestyle but also her personal fashion. We can see this perhaps most clearly in her hair, which is cut to a modern length but never really worn in the heavily styled coiffures and curls of the period. And of course her outfits are rounded out by her personal choice of pearls, now always seen in her wedding ring, and her sister Rosella’s floral pressed jewelry.
All CC linked under the cut.

It isn’t quite cape weather yet, a sudden burst of October sunshine brightening the weekend but as nights cool, this peacock blue wool embroidered with cream silk floss will keep small shoulders warm. It is a child’s garment from the 1860s. Possibly Anglo-Indian. V&A.

This is kinda a stupid question, but what type of hat that Victor is wearing?
It's not a stupid question at all. The simple answer is that it's a cap.
Tumblr media
They were quite common at the time as workaday wear for a laborer, as sportswear, as flashy collegiate fashion, and as something basic you'd stick on a young boy's head. Sometimes they'd come in leather or suede, but more typically they'd be made of woven fabric like wool, tweed, or serge. Many designs have a button on top where the wedge shaped fabric segments comprising the crown converge. 'Flat caps' are sewn with a different, boxier panel pattern eliminating the button.
Tumblr media
Caps got sort of egregiously puffy/floppy in the 1920s (along with a lot of other egregious things about the 20s). Below is Babe Ruth wearing what would have been considered fashionable at the time. Viktor's is pretty conservative by comparison.
Tumblr media
The less simple thing to answer is specifically what type of cap. There are a lot of variations, classification is a little hazy and loose as far as I can discern, and the parlance for them has changed over the past 100 years. For instance, you'll see a lot of people calling them 'Gatsby hats' or 'newsboy hats' now, but they were definitely not referred to as the former within the 1920s, and the latter is doubtful. I haven't seen any old catalog entries list them that way. Mostly they were called golf caps, cabbie caps, driving caps, or sports caps.

I hate modern shopping
I hate how we are practically forced to buy clothes online now. I want to hold it in my hands. I hate how cheap on low quality clothes are today. I hate that production rates and profit come before people's wellbeing.
I hate Shein for brainwashing us into thinking a shirt should cost less than $5 when it's been clear for a while that their products are usually chock full of lead and new allegations say Shein is using actual slave labor
I hate Temu for bringing expected prices even lower and selling negative ion (which might protect you from 5G but certainly doesn't help on the radioactive front) items. For selling cheap garbage and trying to tell us they're a company.
I hate Shein and Temu for basically forcing underage influencers to take sponsorships so they can get out of bad financial situation.
I hate Amazon, but not their workers
I hate Etsy, but not their shop owners
I hate modern shopping. I'm tired of the labor violations. I'm tired of the bs and the hoops you have to jump through to find a company that doesn't use child labor.
I hate that pay is bad enough that people are forced to work for people like Shein, Temu, Amazon, etc.
I hate that we aren't paid enough to buy even mediocre quality products. I hate that about ~19 people for every 10,000 in America is homeless and 40% of homeless people have jobs. I hate that we are considered entitled when all we want is an apartment and to maybe be treated like human beings at work.
Anyway here's my personal good but expensive recommendation:
Sheep Inc clothing will last decades at least. They have a repair service which you can use for life.
This isn't a paid ad I just like their business model
Btw, don't even get me started on Nestle
