While people often think the fads of today are as ridiculous as they come, history has had its fair share of trendy hiccups to give the weirdest styles we've seen a run for their money. From immobilizing skirts to outlandishly extravagant wigs, ornamental hermits to compensating garments, the world of bizarre historical fashion has tales aplenty to keep you entertained for hours. It's quite interesting to look back at what was in vogue in centuries past, wondering how in the world something so ludicrous to us today could ever have been considered fashionable. But hey, who knows, maybe you could try one of these old fashions out at your next gala. Nothing like a little vintage style revival to make yourself the Belle of the ball.

Corrections:
- Caroline Martin, a dress historian, pointed out, "Women were still wearing corsets in 1908. Corsets only began to fall out of favor in the 1910s (when women wanted to dance, exercise and engage in civic life more and more) and especially after WWI with steel shortages. They also fell out of favor because women needing practical clothing for the war like you said but that was after 1908. Just a little 20th c dress history."

Fun fact: a 7-year hermitage contract under the Hon. Charles Hamilton was ended after only a few weeks when the solitary hermit he hired was found being rather sociable at a local pub
Where else would you think about the meaning of life?
@@Turnil321 especially the bright side of it!
They have a replica of the hermitage in the grounds of the estate still! It's very small, so I don't blame him for doing a runner.
Well wouldn't you be mad when you pay a man to become a hermit in your home and he's out socialising. I mean that's false advertising.
I read about this in a book about humanity's dumbest moments written in 2002 called Well, Duh! Highly recommend 🌎📓

Much support for this style of comedy !!!

Thank you so much!
@@katevgrady I was thinking this
Saalfelden is my hometown. I was soooo blown away to see it mentioned here. I knew it was special for having been inhabited by hermits for that long, but I didn't think it was that special. But then again, it's only a short hike from the town and we used to do it when I was a small child. Also the hermits were always very friendly. A little nuget: since the hermitage is palced on the mountainside above the town it also used to be a good spot for firewatch, and hermits had a bell that would alert people in the town when there was a fire.
That is fascinating! Thanks for sharing this, your hometown sounds like it has a neat culture
That is RAD, thanks for sharing!
So the hermits also doubles as a fireman then

this skirt type still exist, it's mermaid dress/skirt with tighter part around knees or lower. many brides wear this style of wedding dress, because it makes your silouete more feminine. it's a bit harder to walk in it, but if you wear it only for occasions when you don't need to walk that much, no stairs or things like that, it's quite ok :D it's not so ggod to wear on daily basis :D
Also, wearing something that is impractical like that can serve as conspicuous consumption. You show off how rich and high status you are by wearing something that shows that you can manage without having to walk longer distances.
I wore a mermaid style dress for prom and I looked - or at least felt - hot! Which was new for me. I also learned to do make up including how to contour at the time.

Any fashion that handicaps you is stupid.
@@austenhead5303 yes, but not everything has to be smart all the time. life is about fun.
@@samanthastatham2139 agreed samantha. Wise words
I remember being required to make a doll with hobble skirt in the 4th grade because of some book.
And being.. not impressed. It could be done today, with stretch materials, but tight taffeta and suiting wool around the ankles was Definitely one of the worst fashion choices 😬

Honestly dude, you can make a part 2 if you like, I know I'll watch anything cause your scripts crack me up AND I learn about stuff at the same time! Keep it up~!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked it!

The "Kanye 2024" comment aged very well
If only you knew….
I'm from 2026. I have to say... It aged... _very_ well.

4:16 last time I went to Portland I saw the biggest and most structural sound hobo castle ever that shit was bigger than the average apartment and was built out of all kinds of creates pallets scrap metal and shit like that it was honestly really impressive
What part of town did you see that in? I live in Portland and haven’t seen any hobo castle yet! With all the shanty shacks around I’m surprised that there aren’t any tree houses yet. There are plenty of places where a few crafty hobos could build an extensive Ewok village, but still haven’t seen one yet!
Which of the many Portlands?
I want photos!

“Thanks ww1, you saved a lot of lives” damn, that got me.
More, please!
Also, we *really* need Grand Theft Carriage: London. 😉
That game would be a hit easily, although I will have to claim that copyright if and when Rockstar makes it
I'm picturing a shootout in front of the Globe Theater with a bunch of flint lock muskets that can somehow be reloaded in half a second.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate has London and carriage-jacking.
Traditionally the Red Dead trilogy is nicknamed Grand Theft Carriage (or Grand Theft Horse) because it's by Rockstar and in the cowboy era.
But the very first GTA had a London spinoff, so its about time for another.
I can't be the only one fantasizing about how sweet it would be to be a rich person's garden hermit, can I? I mean, that seems like a pretty good deal. Provided that the hermit still gets a smart phone with wifi, of course. At least after hours.
7:21 now I know where dickhead came from
The ultimate sign of wealth: a humble hobo shack out in the back yard.
California really IS rich!!
I'm guessing the wealthy are just keeping the homeless in the street for entertainment purposes then? Cause surprisingly it makes more sense.
@@breakerdawn8429 Or they keep them on the streets so they can feel like good people by giving them a dollar and a sandwich every once in awhile.
lol
I mean, California is one of the richest states of the USA, so they are onto something.
you must live in an apartment. most of the country is like this.
When the world needed sam o Nella the most he abandoned us...left us confused and scared things looked bleak and devoid of comedic history. It was over we lost everything. But just as all hope seemed lost there he was, like a light in the tunnel the savior of youtube. Bluejay! he has saved the youtube community and freed us from our endless boredom.
same feelings, but this birdie could be sam diguised in feathers?
He is back
2:13 : "Thanks WW1, you really saved a lot of lives"
Never thought I would hear that anywhere 😹😹😹
Jolly good saying indeed
The old trend of wearing a cape seems very much in vogue by various super-heroes (or villains). I like to think about the cape getting stuck in a car door and the car driving off with the hero dragging behind.

This channel gives me Casually Explained energy and I love it
Casually Explained is actually a big inspiration of mine!
In defense of the cod-piece, it’s because he likely had syphilis, or some other inflammatory STD, and the extra space would have given him a good deal of relief from the discomfort the STD would cause.
The Codpiece was invented to stuff flowers into the pus filled sores from syphilis because miasma theory was still a thing.
Which is obviously why the needles helped.
@@Orinslayer Something tells me Ian Anderson was unaware of historical 'tidbit,' if you'll pardon the term.
@@Orinslayer It was invented to fill the space between the two leggings as shirts/tunics had become short enough to expose the underwear. Over time a trend to emphasise the penis came into being, not much different from women's stretch pants today, that trend included armour. The armour versions were particularly for show as they would've been impractical sitting on a horse and armour of the day already had provision to protect that region of the body.
@@damionkeeling3103 Over time? I bet you anything the second one ever made was made big enough the owner need at least 2 socks stuffed in.

If you look at the lady with her hair styled into a ship that is Marie Antoinette the Queen Consort of France during the French Revolution known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker.

omg I've been to the hermitage in austria multiple times while the previous hermit was living there, unfortunately he had to move back down to a monastery due to health issues, the current hermit you mentioned in the video moved in shortly before we went there for the last time. the first time we went there we had some cookies with us and we shared them with the hermit, he liked them so much that we decided to bring him some every time we went to visit. if you're in the area someday I highly recommend visiting this place, you walk past an old castle on your way up (at least when going up from one side, the other is way steeper and was too dangerous when we first went bc I was just 8 or so and the last time my grandmother was limited by her age so we didn't try it either) and from up there you have a wonderful view. the church up there is small but beautiful, being built into the mountain, it has a big portrait of saint george the dragonslayer. I still have the gifts I got from the old hermit somewhere (he always gave me and my brother small things like a little imagery of saint george to put on a necklace) and I will always remember him fondly for how happy he made my grandmother and my late grandfather (may his soul rest in peace) with his blessings.
The hermit said Kanye 2024... not just wise but a prophet
wow, 11/10 stars is a great rating that I'm sure was fueled solely by your love for the subject and no other outside factors!
Absolutely! And on an unrelated note, French horses really are the superior breed, don't you think?
@@BlueJayYT you’ve done it again bluejay, another totally unbiased opinion! Keep it up 🔫 🎯
about codpiece - when this was popular, pants had separate legs, which were tied to jacket with ribbons and codpiece was an easy way to pee without taking off the rest of this structure.
although this video narrated in russian, there's a part, where a male model got undressed: th-cam.com/video/BqL-28z2Mo8/w-d-xo.html
this will give you a better understanding of my words.

The hermitage thing cracked me up. I had no idea this used to exist. The dream of every introvert.

If it means anything I fell down in Walmart while wearing my heeley’s in front of a bunch of girls and was so embarrassed and upset, but it didn’t stop my stride, heeley’s are forever, women (people) are temporary. if they leave because of your failures, they won’t be around for your success. but those who matter, they will

5:54 Given your absurdly impeccable vocalisation skills for a bluejay, you could probably master a mating call in like, a week, making you the Bluejay Equivalent of whatever the heck asian teenage girls see when they look at BTS.
I am from Austria and have met the hermit dude in Saalfelden. He's quite nice actually and there is a chapel up there too. But as far as i could see there weren't any bones. The view is amazing though, its only a small hike, maybe an hour but it's definitely worth it.
That is so cool! Disappointed at the lack of bones, though
Okay tho channel recently came to my recommended page and I have to be honest you’re amazing. The only thing I hate about your channel is how early I am to it. Now I can’t binge watch a bunch of funny summarizations of interesting history stuff. Instead I only get to watch like 10 great, funny summarizations of interesting history stuff. :( I look forward to many more videos!!!!
Thanks so much! Don't you worry, more videos are in the works!
the true heir to the sam'o'nella throne. god speed man, please keep making this stuff

5:59 there's an idea that Henry VIII's oversized and padded codpiece was to protect against friction which would've been very painful for his syphilitic "member." Normal armor was very pain inducing for him to wear.
