#not an expert myself btw and i could be very wrong about the menswear especially

[ruby-red-inky-blue]

no actually i must be salty about it more because i do have a passing interest in fashion history and when I look for reference pictures i don't want to have to be dealing with this shit:

First of all, hate that we're lumping together an entire decade of fashion, because that always goes well /s

But actually first of all, sudden fifth hand! get this eldritch lady away from me! Actually neither of her right hands seems to be at the right placement anatomically, and also who holds onto their boyfriend's wrist for a picture WHILE HE HAS HIS HAND IN HIS POCKET. What is this pose.

His right coat pocket appears to be opening into the void towards his back. Also, his whole look just seems distantly off? I can't put my finger on it and it may just be that, again, we're lumping ten years of wildly different reference images together. Probably a lot of movie costumes as well, which may be why he looks like a vaguely 1912 circus director from a mid-level tv show? The white piping is just so jarring, the buttons placement is nonsense and even if it wasn't, the way it buttons is just... i can't back this up rn, but I'm pretty sure that's not right? If it is, then it's probably too long, and way dressier than the lady's outfit (and also seems to be waist-length in the back?).

Try imitating this man's pose without falling over, I dare you. I'm so glad his girlfriend has an extra arm to support him, because he is not standing upright on his own.

Also, the fit of her dress around the shoulders and neckline is weird - somehow the folds go through that horizontal stripe of lace in a way that real fabric simply would not. And this really is annoying to me because the fit of women's clothes around the chest and sleeves is usually a good way to get a silhoutte right, and now you're muddying the waters with whatever that is. Also also, the waistline is suspicious, by modern standards, but for sure for the 1920s. What's with that dramatic hourglass shape and extremely full skirt? Is it it the 1880s? Is she wearing a bum pad?

This one is also fun. This poor man's uniform jacket is um. let's go with poorly made. Not only does the right lapel somehow flow seamlessly into a holster strap - how innovative, might make removing and putting on the jacket a little difficult. He seems to be wearing a vest underneath his jacket, which I guess he could, but I haven't seen that a lot. I actually think the lapel is just extra wrong. Whoever set his sleeves into the armholes should be fired. The right one is just fucked, the left is scrunched up in a way that I don't think I've ever seen a sleeve do, especially not in a heavy wool fabric, this should have weight. The pants do not have a zipper in the front, except they do, except they don't, except they kind of do?

Once more, his girlfriend has two right hands, or he's holding a severed one in his left, which is a fun option! Also the AI gave her his sleeve cuff. Solidarity, I guess? Much like his fly, her skirt is buttoned down all the way except not, because it's smooth from the waistband down but then has buttons once it comes out from underneath her arm.

Good luck trying to extrapolate patterns from this mess!

And that's just examples where the AI actually screwed up noticeably. The others are way more devious, because you can't immediately tell they're not real pictures. My biggest tip-off for the video was that these people looked eeriely similar throughout 100 years, and then that funny thing in the late sixties where the girl still looks the same but suddenly gets noticeably shorter?? If you get just one frame of it, you don't get any of these hints, and sure, it all looks too smooth and there's probably a lot of stuff that's off if you know the fashion very well, but once again, you're just pouring fake data into the interwebs. And hey, at least this video is tagged with a telling username! That's more than you usually get. I still think this is bad for history literacy and ultimately hurts exactly the people who would enjoy videos like this.
