The very idea of time travel has long captivated people's imaginations. Who among us wouldn’t want to go back in time and see what, for example, Napoleon Bonaparte or Julius Caesar really looked like? Or fast forward a year (and then bet all your money on the future Super Bowl winner...) Pretty darn tempting, isn't it?
However, you need to travel through time secretly, without giving yourself away - which means it will be incredibly important to choose the proper costume for the chosen era. Wisdom Kaye, a famous model and influencer, does just that in his viral series of videos on TikTok, and we present to your attention an impressive selection of his historic outfits.

Let's make it clear right away, Wisdom Kaye is not a fashion historian, but a model, whom Vogue aptly called the "best dressed guy on TikTok" a few years ago. Well, perhaps these outfits may not seem so historically consistent to some of you, but in any case, they are very colorful, impressive and reflect the specifics of each era chosen by the original poster.

Yes, some elements of the author’s images look like obvious anachronisms (for example, these stylish sunglasses for the year 1700 outfit), but all these costumes really look very nice, and Wisdom Kaye can now easily claim the unofficial title of “best dressed guy of any era.” Although, if you look at the costumes that the author predicts for the next centuries, they look, in my opinion, a tad bit overly eclectic.

And what personally has always touched me about people who seriously dream of going back in time is their absolutely concrete confidence that, having found themselves a couple of centuries ago, they will be among, let’s say, the powers that be. The 18th century, in the perception of these people, looks like a whole series of romantic balls and love affairs (yeah, tell that to all the victims of the guillotine during the Great French Revolution), the Middle Ages are tough knights and nothing more, ancient times are wise philosophers talking about the eternal...
Stop! And who can actually guarantee that our brave time travelers will not turn out to be ordinary peasants or workers somewhere in countless copper mines of the past? Moreover, such a probability is much greater (if, of course, the very word “probability” per se is at all applicable to such a concept as time travel)! So the outfits from this collection are simply beautiful, but nothing more than stylish.

Be that as it may, perhaps some travelers from the distant future (when the time machine has long been invented) are already among us, and are reading this collection, smiling slightly to themselves. If so, then please write to me in private messages who won Superbowl LIX in 2025 and with what score (I really need this, just believe me!) and the rest - just scroll this list to the end and please leave your comments here and below the post.
