No CC Decades Outfits 2.0

1890s: Male working class fashion

In many lookbooks for the decades challenge, both men and the working class are sadly overlooked. As men are half the population and the farmers and working class were about 90% of the population in 1890, I feel that is a bit of a shame. Therefore I created some outfits for the working class man here (middle class and upper class will follow, as well as children and more variation for women too). 

Working class fashion was all about durability. Colors were natural or muted, often dark to hide stains. Material were tough and durable. The standard was a three piece suit, though an overall might be an option (still with a jacket). Somtimes you might remove the jacket while you were working for more movability. Fishermen sometimes wore sweaters and it was catching on, especially in the winter. The same clothes were worn year round so I've made no distinction between everyday, hot weather and cold weather outfits.  

Below you'll have the rest of the outfit, the sporting outfit with the turtleneck (inspired by a victorian rugby team), underwear/sleeping and bathing (as a working class man most likely wouldn't spend money on a bathing suit but just swim in his underwear) and finally the last two formal/party/go to church clothes.
