 Georgian fashion (technically 1714-1830 but for my makes I'm narrowing it to 1770s to 1790s) featured elaborate, opulent styles with men in ornate, knee-length coats and breeches, and women in a variety of changing bodice and dress styles with skirts supported by petticoats, bum rolls, or panniers, lavishly decorated bodices, and intricate lace, reflecting the grandeur and sophistication of the era.

 Regency fashion was characterized by its elegant simplicity, with women wearingraised waistliness slim Greecian silhouettes, low necklines, and delicate fabrics, while men favored fitted tailcoats, high-collared waistcoats, and slim trousers, reflecting a refined and neoclassical style.

The years 1824-1825 blended Regency elegance with emerging Romantic trends.  Waistlines began to drop, hems widened and were heavily decorated, and puffed sleeves began their journey toward the enormity characterized by the next era.  Men favored tailored coats, waistcoats, and cravats. This era combined timeless grace with evolving fashion.

 Early Victorian fashion (1830s to 1860s) featured women in voluminous skirts supported by crinolines, high-waisted bodices (falling later in the era) with puffed sleeves, and elaborate decorations, while men wore fitted, high-collared jackets, waistcoats, and trousers, emphasizing a structured and refined aesthetic.

 Late Victorian fashion (1870s to 1890s) was marked by intricate, opulent designs with women wearing tightly fitted bodices, voluminous skirts with crinolines or bustles, and elaborate embellishments, while men sported dark, tailored suits with high collars and waistcoats, reflecting the period’s formality and grandeur.

Women were finally breaking free from domesticity and adapting many of the fashion stylings of their male counterparts including more tailored, slim lines, ties and trim looks.

 1920s fashion was characterized by a sense of liberation and modernity, with women embracing flapper dresses, shorter hemlines, loose silhouettes, and bold accessories, while men favored slim-cut suits, bowler hats, and casual yet sophisticated looks.

 1930s fashion embraced elegance and practicality, with women's bias-cut dresses, flowing skirts, and tailored blouses, while men wore broad-shouldered suits, high-waisted trousers, and refined accessories, all influenced by Hollywood glamour despite the economic hardships of the Great Depression. 

 1940s fashion was defined by practicality and resourcefulness due to wartime rationing, with women wearing tailored suits, A-line skirts, and utility clothing, while men donned simple, military-inspired attire, and both genders emphasized structured silhouettes and minimal embellishments.

 1950s fashion featured full skirts, nipped-in waists, and feminine blouses for women, while men embraced tailored suits and the rising "greaser" style, with influential figures like Christian Dior, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Elizabeth Taylor. 

1960s fashion was bold and revolutionary, marked by vibrant colors, geometric patterns, mini skirts, mod styles, and a mix of youthful, countercultural influences, alongside more relaxed, bohemian looks as the decade progressed.

1970s fashion embraced eclecticism and self-expression, featuring bell-bottoms, flowing maxi dresses, platform shoes, and a mix of bohemian, disco, and punk styles that reflected the era's free-spirited and rebellious ethos.
