HELLO FRIENDS!! and welcome to this video! i made tyler go on 7 dates in 7 decades with me 😈 and he loved every second, i swear!! which decade was your favorite? and what era should we travel to next?? xoxo, saf
I gasped aloud at "Tyler and I have been married for 5 years" because I distinctly remember when you were making the videos leading up to your wedding, and I swear it was like 2 years max, My god, time flies.
Made me really check in with myself. In 2019 I was in a much worse place & hadn’t met my boyfriend yet. I’m proud of how far I’ve come but also felt bad for how MUCH farther I haven’t gone in 5 years
Saf did not only give us a well curated and information packed video, she also gave oley a very high quality advertisement that did not feel forced. Everything is so seamless and right on saf’s brand.
As a historian, I appreciate you acknowledging that there is no one universal history to a time period and different people had vastly different experiences. I agree with the sentiment that you can enjoy historical costuming, withput idolizing historical mindsets.
@@Marte-cs7pn even tradwives are touting a bastardized version of the past. They have social media to play around on and every modern convenience they could want, yet will still claim to bake bread from scratch every other day and promote financial ab*se.
no like it may be their 10 year anniversary together but it’s also almost our 10 years with them and seeing that part of the video reminded me that we’ve really all grown up together 🥹
While a part two would be great I doubt they will do a 1940's look. They would basically have to put Tyler in a military uniform home on leave just long enough for a date.
I think its kind of cool how in the background of 48:10, another young couple (assumedly Gen Z) looks like they could be on a hangout and date. Even as time and culture progresses, love and learning to love doesn't change!
Really appreciate saf as a creator because she respects both herself and her viewers to take enough time to do her research and produce a really well curated video. She doesnt post a haphazardly made daily video just to stay in everyone's algorithm. Thank you saf. I always look forward to all your videos because of its quality no matter how niche some of the topics are. Sooooo informative, i love it.
I love how much Saf and Tyler love each other. They respect and support their weirdness and they just seem to have so much fun together. The world needs more of this vibe!
Every marriage starts off like that, though. They all plan on living each other forever. But things happen, and feelings sometimes change over the years. 😢
@jaggirl That was an unnecessary bummer. They've been together for five years in marriage plus so many years of dating. I totally understand things happen, but reading the room is important! This wasn't the place for this kind of comment.
THANK YOU OLAY!!! This is one of the best ways for a brand to advertise. Not a midroll read that feels cringy, but supporting amazing, well done content and that is not just product placement. 10/10 respect! This video is awesome!! 1:23

@@scantron47 idk where you live at but in canada it's in local drug stores, it's still a very new product so it could take a bit for it to be more widely accessible
She’s already done individual videos looking at the fashion of most of those decades which is probably why she didn’t include them in this one as she didn’t want to a) repeat herself and b) waste resources that she’s basically already spent. Especially as for a lot of those she made Tyler dress up in them anyway!
@@personincognito3989 Ah yes, such as when women didn't have rights, were forced to marry young to some old creep, and weren't allowed to be financially independent.
As someone who loves vintage style but has become disillusioned with it thanks to tradwives co-opting it and me not wanting to be mistaken as one of them, that disclaimer meant so much to me!
fortunately, there are some good brands that are obviously not 1930s but have weirdly similar designs and patterns on them like some shirts from american eagle are very on the nose with their white and blue shades and pattern designs that i’d say some white pants and loafers would pass for 1930s but modernized

Such an adorable couple, you just seem so at ease with each other. (Also thanks for shouting out the under consumption king! That’s what sustainable living can mean!)
All I can think about is "Married vampire couple dating throughout the ages" - Eugh...the 2010s outfits are uncanny. Like where did y'all dig out this "old", never before seen, footage from 😂.
Tyler wasn't in black tie for the 1920s date. He was in white tie which is still used today for some operas and balls. That's why the tuxedo looked different. If he had been in black tie, he would have looked exactly as black tie looks today as not much has changed.
I was missing a petticoat on Saf in the 50's and the pidgeon-breast padding at the turn of the century. But my god were you two slaying this!!! My favorite was the 30's, Saf in a nautical look is just so beautiful and it suits her!
I literally cried when they showed up with 2010's fashion as I do remember the way they dressed 10 years ago and realizing I had been knowing and following Safiya and Tyler for a long time :')))
Thanks for the reminder to always continue to date your spouse! We will be celebrating 20 years married next month (24 together)! This was a super fun video, loved all the wardrobe choices and the historical context!
OH HELL YEAH THE DECADES VIDS ARE BACK BABY!!! Absolutely adore and eat up anything you guys come out with because yall are amazing, but the decades series and fashion history videos will always hold a special place in my heart. Keep slaying sweet time travelers💛
I really really really appreciate that you mentioned queer and interracial couples, as a queer person I was excited to watch this video- even knowing that I would be somewhat excluded from it- and it shocked me and made me overjoyed that you did. Not only does it make me appreciate you as a person more, it also shows such a high level of professionalism with what you do. Really can't say enough how often queerness does not get mentioned in things like these. Basically never. Really big props to you.
I completely agree!!! I felt so seen. And the mindfulness of addressing "you can appreciate the fashion without endorsing the problematic ideals" made me really emotional. Such the perfect way to do this kind of video! THANK YOU Safiya!
@@xandercruz900exactly there was no need for that woke intro. U r a heterosexual couple. We all know there was discrimination and we all know that it was not right
I've always appreciated how saf mentions how historical fashion can be enjoyed without supporting the values of the time, but I don't think I've ever heard her mention lgbtq+ history/struggles, that was really cool of her to highlight considering this video revolves around couples
i'm so glad that saf included the queer struggles and influences the way she did in this video! * adds saf to my collection of ally influencers * Also I was especially pleasantly surprised when she got to the 70's and brought up the queer origins of disco! It often gets ignored and unrecognized :(
@@lemonz1769 We would've never even gotten to the place we're in if it wasn't for allies. This is a really odd opinion to have. There's no harm in her mentioning that historically, gay an queer people have gotten the short end of the stick. It was such a quick little note, I fail to see how you've gotten so much disdain from it. We still have a lot of work to do, especially in third world countries. The fight isn't over, so we should keep talking about our history, as it's still coming. Silence does nothing.
@@lemonz1769 If you stop trying to be a 'pick me' for a moment you might realize that Saf and Tyler, an interracial couple, might actually have some personal connection to the concept of being marginalized as a couple in history. Its impossible to make a video about history and have it be apolitical and without "social issues", history is inherently political and social. Of course in a video talking about how people used to dress its important to mention "this is not how /everybody/ dressed", but you wanted to make sure people knew you were 'one of the good ones' and make an ass out of yourself, And as a queer person in an interracial relationship; I, for one think it was incredibly thoughtful, and it'd be great if you didn't talk over those voices.
i really appreciate how safiya works with brands in a way that has her audience in mind! great to see her having fun with greater resources while incorporating education and not ignoring the injustices of the past
seeing the historical queer couples in the intro really made me tear up also, that is such an amazing date idea!! Maybe I have to get my girlfriend and myself some vintage makeovers for a fun date day aswell
yall are so in tuned with each other, it’s beautiful so watch! especially how you each have witty remarks to match everything the other is saying like a dream hypeman lol… i enjoyed this!!!
I grinned like a dork during the whole 2010s videos! That's where I started watching your channel! I remember the Buzzfeed Ladylike era and even the Buzzfeed couple videos yall were in together. It was a really great blast from the past!
12:29 I think he may actually be in White Tie, the even more formal brother of Black Tie. The waistcoat-tailcoat combo is like the definer, if I recall correctly.
He definitely is!😁 I recognize the getup from the dinners in Downton Abbey😂 I remember once, Robert wore Black Tie to a dinner and his mother mistook him for a waiter🤣
I was looking for this comment. She even commented how he was black tie, and I’m like, “he’s literally in white tie, with tails!” 😅 White tie was considered more formal, like the men’s version of evening wear. There was a gap for somewhat less formal wear, and the tuxedo filled it. It was popularized in the northeast, though different people believe different origin stories. A tuxedo has the shorter jacket, usually a cummerbund and black tie. The lapels are generally satin, as is the bow to match. Tuxedo pants don’t have belt loops. I love Safiya, and yeah, it’s not that deep and you don’t have to like, go into the lore on tuxedos, but it just really caught my attention.
I'm only a few minutes into the video, but wow am I impressed with the disclaimer after the intro! It's really easy to just portray the "fun" and "aesthetic" parts of historical culture and lifestyle for a gimmick without acknowledging all the fights for rights and equality that were taking place as well, and I think the fact that you did shows you really are on a legit level of historic fashion nerdiness, because all of the most well-researched and involved creators I know of who make content about fashion and lifestyle throughout history tend to make it a point to acknowledge that "the past" wasn't all funky clothes and interesting antiquities, but real times with real historical events and social conditions going on that people dealt with. Good on you and thank you for keeping that in mind!
@@kittykat490 and I LOVE that she used true historical video clips of real couples of the time - interracial and lgbtq - during that disclaimer. It would have been so easy for her to find a movie period piece and used clips from that of interracial couples and gay couples, but she found real clips. AMAZING job, Saf.
@@honeybee347 those were like a minute and long, so they exclusively focused on the looks AND most of them had behind the scenes videos, going more into details of the time periods. Nothing to get your panties in a twist over, you'll live
@@Luko8657 i am just pointing out how this is an upgraded version of those videos. The criticism on how reductive the videos were was around since they were first created. That is why the cut started doing the split screen versions and other people created their own and parodies of them like Karolina zebrowska.
At 48:36 I see an Olay Sponsor shot with an 80's look. Where was that look/date?? Besides that- I have no notes! Haha. I absolutely loved this video. I love all the research, history and historical accuracy that goes into these. The attention to detail that Safiya brings to her productions is what makes her one of the best content creators.
If I remember correctly, that was the outfit she wore on a previous fashion history video. Maybe they modified one of the makeup looks from this video and used the clothes from the previous video?
Fun fact: I'm not sure if this was my grandma or my great-grandma (I think it was my grandma). Anyway, we're from Iowa, where at the time it wasn't unusual for women to wear pants (I think this was in the 50s or '60s), but they went on vacation in Colorado and they didn't know that at the time it was against the law for women to wear pants there. They kept getting weird looks, and I think eventually someone told them, and she changed, but it could have gotten a little hairy if the wrong person had seen them. UPDATE: My mom did remember more info than I did. It was my great-grandma, and it was on my great-grandparents' honeymoon trip to Colorado, so it would have been in the 30s.
It's possible it was into the 60s. We're in California and my mom was not allowed to wear pants to school until she was in the 4th grade. Girls had to wear skirts or dresses and only boys could wear pants. She wore shorts under all her skirts so she could still run and play.
That's an exciting story, you should check and find out if it was your grandmother or great grandmother, that had to have been wild at the time. It's hard to imagine your clothes being legal in one state and not in another, that's history they never tell us about and it's really interesting.
@TarynsTime I'll ask my mom if she remembers. She heard the story more times than me. My grandpa was the one who always told me the story, but he passed away last month, so I can't ask him. 😔
I love reading little tid bits of history like this I find it really interesting thanks for sharing now if we can get some pants that have real pockets lol
SERIOUSLY??? 5 YEARS??? NO!!!! Tyler JUST did the Disneyland proposal! Covid stole like a decade from us I swear! (lol, in ten years, please do a remake of this and have the covid date.... over zoom, yelling at each other from adjacent balconies, or masked up and 6 feet apart)
Safiya, as a black and queer longtime watcher of yours (since BF days & I was a mere high schooler) I genuinely appreciate your added bit of recreating history but not idealizing it. It took 30 seconds for you to make me feel seen and appreciated especially in the state of our country. Thank you. ✨
You're probably the only RUclipsr I don't mind a full-on skin-care commercial in the middle of the video from. At least you cosplayed different decades and made funny faces.
I love Safiya's brows, but something about the flapper makeup, I think the lip shape, looked REALLY good on her. Or maybe that's just my inner goth being attracted to the eyeshadow, lol. Update: The 1950's look is also killing it. Fully an Elizabeth Taylor vibe.
I’m going to honest but seeing Safiya without eyebrows while her makeup was being done just looked wrong. Her eyebrows really frame her face and make her look stunning, I think the painted on brows made her look a bit odd.
Olay: hey do you want money to make any video you could want to make? Saf: yes please Olay: okay what do you wanna do? Saf: To dress up and go on dates with my husband okay thanks!
I have this thing that happens to me when I watch one of your videos late at night, when I’m trying to sleep (which for some reason seems to be the main time I watch them! might be the time difference?) but, effectively, I just get… sort of filled with a profound love for humanity. I suddenly become convinced that love is real and people are good and everything will be okay. when the world feels unkind and difficult to traverse, it’s hard to conjure those feelings. but these videos do it, every single time. it’s like a rapid-acting antidepressant! thank you so much for the years and years that you’ve given me that. x
It doesn't help that rental places put them under the tuxedo section and call them a "full dress tailcoat tux". Even if you knew that white tie was a different dress code you might still call it a different type of tux out of reflex.
Safiya, I've been following your work since you left BuzzFeed, and I truly appreciate the amount of effort you put into your videos and how mindful you are about the content you create. You are a f***ing amazing role model for everyone, both young and old (by the way, we share the same birthday!). Your content is truly incredible-not only entertaining but also making people curious enough to research more about the topics you cover. As a graphic designer who wants to become a college professor, I find that incredibly inspiring! Keep up the great work!
I love seeing how you two do dates! There's something so heartwarming about seeing two people who obviously love one another and not only indulge in their partner's interest, but do it with gusto. Beautiful job. You've both come so far.
I remember using hotdog as an exclamation as a kid, but losing it as middle school happened For anyone who doesn't know, the reason Safiya put her hand on the screen was because you can feel static!
"The original naughts" "Let's hit the links...broad!" "Wig, everywhere"..."Hot Lorax" LOL. This was a fun one. I LOVED the 30's look for both of you! You both look adorable :) Tyler looked best in the 00's and Saf looks best in the 70's; I don't know what that means, but...that's my unsolicited opinion. Loved this video!
wait wait wait the bath and body works franken candle was in 2018???????????? why is time passing so damn fast i thought it was in like 2021 ???????????
I love to see you together! You are such a great couple, with the nerdy fun, inside jokes and clearly enjoying each other's company. + The way he looks at you Saf, damn the man loves you.
This is so sweet and beautiful, like yeah you guys did it all for a video but you really did get to go on 7 dates and do lots of fun cute things together and spend lots of time together 🥺 it's super cute and romantic
My aunt makes a jello salad every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has lime jello, cottage cheese, pineapple, cherries and cool whip. It’s amazing and our dinners are not complete without it haha
I was literally just talking about wanting another Saf upload and now she’s uploaded this just as I’m settling into bed for a cozy night watching this video :)
HELLO FRIENDS!! and welcome to this video! i made tyler go on 7 dates in 7 decades with me 😈 and he loved every second, i swear!! which decade was your favorite? and what era should we travel to next?? xoxo, saf
😈
you two are so cute ♡♡ been rooting for you since day 1
My favorite was the 60s!
😂❤ Did y’all move? Again, or just travel to CA? Just wondering. I really missed you guys ❤
I think that the 90s was my favorite look and it's so nostalgic for me. Y'all should cover any eras from outside America.
help i'm trapped inside this mustache and can't get out 👨🏻

It's like Saf said, your job is mustache now. And you can't quit.
Have you had the earned SpaHusband episode yet? You deserve it after the lip gloss Franken episode! Much love from Hawaii!❤❤❤❤

I gasped aloud at "Tyler and I have been married for 5 years" because I distinctly remember when you were making the videos leading up to your wedding, and I swear it was like 2 years max, My god, time flies.
I was thinking the same! Cant believe 5 years has flown by
RIGHTT
Covid messed everything up fr I literally remember the proposal video being like 2 years ago 😭
Made me really check in with myself. In 2019 I was in a much worse place & hadn’t met my boyfriend yet. I’m proud of how far I’ve come but also felt bad for how MUCH farther I haven’t gone in 5 years
"engaged... betrothed... affianced"
Has it really been five years since I heard the word betrothed?! Or affianced?!
To be reminded of this, made my day 😂❤ I can hear Saf’s voice in my head
Or engaged!!! 😂
I‘ve been engaged for a week now and started saying it like Safiya three days ago!😂 I will now go watch all their wedding content
Right?! The fact the original decade fashion videos were seven years ago really threw me too 😂 x
I read it with Safiya's voice😂😂

Getting 2010 as a decade is crazy when you've lived through the 2010's.

Married five years?! I just feel like the wedding video was posted!! But I’ve been here since the start of the channel so
Same! When Saf said it, I was like. whhhhhhhhhhhhat?.. Always glad to see a new vid pop up on my feed!
RIGHT???? when she said that i had to pause the video and take a breath. i still rewatch the wedding saga so it feels so recent
Maybe it's just me, but it deeefinitely feels like it's been 5 years to me... maybe even longer 🤣 They've always been such a married couple!
I know!!!
Like time goes so fast!
Next we need a part 2, 40’s, 60’s, 80’s, 00’s
80's Tyler will be a hoot!
Ikr. Was really looking forward to the 80's one 😐
i have a feeling she started so early to make a pt 2
While a part two would be great I doubt they will do a 1940's look. They would basically have to put Tyler in a military uniform home on leave just long enough for a date.
It's '40s, '60s, '80s, and , 00s. The apostrophe doesn't go before the "s".

30s fashion is amazing! I think it's the oldest vintage decade where its fashion would still look wearable today and not stick out that much.
fortunately, there are some good brands that are obviously not 1930s but have weirdly similar designs and patterns on them like some shirts from american eagle are very on the nose with their white and blue shades and pattern designs that i’d say some white pants and loafers would pass for 1930s but modernized

Thanks for the reminder to always continue to date your spouse! We will be celebrating 20 years married next month (24 together)! This was a super fun video, loved all the wardrobe choices and the historical context!
Congratulations!!!
congrats!!
I don’t think it’s fair Sophie is able to look absolutely stunning in everything she does. Girl needs to share! Especially for the 90’s look!
OH HELL YEAH THE DECADES VIDS ARE BACK BABY!!! Absolutely adore and eat up anything you guys come out with because yall are amazing, but the decades series and fashion history videos will always hold a special place in my heart. Keep slaying sweet time travelers💛
there was also an Olay ad before the video started! They are double dipping!
Same dude they really pushing those little tab/melt things
Oh i thought i might have imagined it so it was real
I got the Olay ad at least 3 times….2 in the middle and again at the end 😂
I got 2 during this video!!
I got it twice while watching this lol
Saf is back in her edutainment bag, and I am her biggest stan
These are my favourite Saf videos.
“For any rental store virgins who can’t drive” is such an underrated line! 😂😂😂
I really really really appreciate that you mentioned queer and interracial couples, as a queer person I was excited to watch this video- even knowing that I would be somewhat excluded from it- and it shocked me and made me overjoyed that you did. Not only does it make me appreciate you as a person more, it also shows such a high level of professionalism with what you do. Really can't say enough how often queerness does not get mentioned in things like these. Basically never. Really big props to you.
Absolutely. I have to fully agree with you on this one. Just that little disclaimer made me so happy
I completely agree!!! I felt so seen. And the mindfulness of addressing "you can appreciate the fashion without endorsing the problematic ideals" made me really emotional. Such the perfect way to do this kind of video! THANK YOU Safiya!
@@xandercruz900exactly there was no need for that woke intro. U r a heterosexual couple. We all know there was discrimination and we all know that it was not right
@@tracyotrhuiskamp1012they're also an interracial couple. Their relationship would have absolutely been illegal.
Also get over yourself. "Woke" lmao
@@xandercruz900 go be a whiny troll somewhere else
I've always appreciated how saf mentions how historical fashion can be enjoyed without supporting the values of the time, but I don't think I've ever heard her mention lgbtq+ history/struggles, that was really cool of her to highlight considering this video revolves around couples
i'm so glad that saf included the queer struggles and influences the way she did in this video! * adds saf to my collection of ally influencers *
Also I was especially pleasantly surprised when she got to the 70's and brought up the queer origins of disco! It often gets ignored and unrecognized :(
Yes. I love that she mentions all of this
@@lemonz1769 We would've never even gotten to the place we're in if it wasn't for allies. This is a really odd opinion to have. There's no harm in her mentioning that historically, gay an queer people have gotten the short end of the stick. It was such a quick little note, I fail to see how you've gotten so much disdain from it. We still have a lot of work to do, especially in third world countries. The fight isn't over, so we should keep talking about our history, as it's still coming. Silence does nothing.
@@lemonz1769 Some of us queers actually want things acknowledged.
@@lemonz1769 If you stop trying to be a 'pick me' for a moment you might realize that Saf and Tyler, an interracial couple, might actually have some personal connection to the concept of being marginalized as a couple in history. Its impossible to make a video about history and have it be apolitical and without "social issues", history is inherently political and social. Of course in a video talking about how people used to dress its important to mention "this is not how /everybody/ dressed", but you wanted to make sure people knew you were 'one of the good ones' and make an ass out of yourself, And as a queer person in an interracial relationship; I, for one think it was incredibly thoughtful, and it'd be great if you didn't talk over those voices.
The 70s' look looks SO good on you, Safiya! You looked beautiful!
i really appreciate how safiya works with brands in a way that has her audience in mind! great to see her having fun with greater resources while incorporating education and not ignoring the injustices of the past
seeing the historical queer couples in the intro really made me tear up
also, that is such an amazing date idea!! Maybe I have to get my girlfriend and myself some vintage makeovers for a fun date day aswell
Saf would have been very popular in the 70's.
I’m pretty sure she’s still very popular now 😜
The look that complimented her better imo
yall are so in tuned with each other, it’s beautiful so watch! especially how you each have witty remarks to match everything the other is saying like a dream hypeman lol… i enjoyed this!!!
I grinned like a dork during the whole 2010s videos! That's where I started watching your channel! I remember the Buzzfeed Ladylike era and even the Buzzfeed couple videos yall were in together. It was a really great blast from the past!
same!
Same! Can't believe it's that long ago
12:29 I think he may actually be in White Tie, the even more formal brother of Black Tie. The waistcoat-tailcoat combo is like the definer, if I recall correctly.
He is!
He definitely is!😁 I recognize the getup from the dinners in Downton Abbey😂 I remember once, Robert wore Black Tie to a dinner and his mother mistook him for a waiter🤣
I was looking for this comment. She even commented how he was black tie, and I’m like, “he’s literally in white tie, with tails!” 😅
White tie was considered more formal, like the men’s version of evening wear. There was a gap for somewhat less formal wear, and the tuxedo filled it. It was popularized in the northeast, though different people believe different origin stories. A tuxedo has the shorter jacket, usually a cummerbund and black tie. The lapels are generally satin, as is the bow to match. Tuxedo pants don’t have belt loops.
I love Safiya, and yeah, it’s not that deep and you don’t have to like, go into the lore on tuxedos, but it just really caught my attention.
I'm only a few minutes into the video, but wow am I impressed with the disclaimer after the intro! It's really easy to just portray the "fun" and "aesthetic" parts of historical culture and lifestyle for a gimmick without acknowledging all the fights for rights and equality that were taking place as well, and I think the fact that you did shows you really are on a legit level of historic fashion nerdiness, because all of the most well-researched and involved creators I know of who make content about fashion and lifestyle throughout history tend to make it a point to acknowledge that "the past" wasn't all funky clothes and interesting antiquities, but real times with real historical events and social conditions going on that people dealt with. Good on you and thank you for keeping that in mind!
@@kittykat490 and I LOVE that she used true historical video clips of real couples of the time - interracial and lgbtq - during that disclaimer. It would have been so easy for her to find a movie period piece and used clips from that of interracial couples and gay couples, but she found real clips. AMAZING job, Saf.
@@SingingAudball Yes! I love that too. I've never seen any of these clips before and it's so interesting to see them all.
This, definitely an upgrade from the super polished and reductive '100 years of' videos popular in the 2010s.
@@honeybee347 those were like a minute and long, so they exclusively focused on the looks AND most of them had behind the scenes videos, going more into details of the time periods. Nothing to get your panties in a twist over, you'll live
@@Luko8657 i am just pointing out how this is an upgraded version of those videos. The criticism on how reductive the videos were was around since they were first created. That is why the cut started doing the split screen versions and other people created their own and parodies of them like Karolina zebrowska.
I love when Saf is like “I forced Tyler into this lol” and meanwhile Tyler looks like he’s having the time of his life
At 48:36 I see an Olay Sponsor shot with an 80's look. Where was that look/date?? Besides that- I have no notes! Haha. I absolutely loved this video. I love all the research, history and historical accuracy that goes into these. The attention to detail that Safiya brings to her productions is what makes her one of the best content creators.
If I remember correctly, that was the outfit she wore on a previous fashion history video. Maybe they modified one of the makeup looks from this video and used the clothes from the previous video?
I like to believe there is a part 2 to this video. Fingers crossed!
it’s saf. ofc we’re getting part 2 easter eggs.
That box of mustaches was quite possibly the scariest thing I’ve ever seen
I LOVE IT when Safiya does historical fashion videos!! She hasnt done one in a while and I am HYPED
I miss that part of the channel.
She's so pretty! In every decade she looks great.
This couldve been 7 hours and i wouldve loved every second of it
I wish it was 7 hours tbh 😂
7 hours of Saf in the '70s.
Fun fact: I'm not sure if this was my grandma or my great-grandma (I think it was my grandma). Anyway, we're from Iowa, where at the time it wasn't unusual for women to wear pants (I think this was in the 50s or '60s), but they went on vacation in Colorado and they didn't know that at the time it was against the law for women to wear pants there. They kept getting weird looks, and I think eventually someone told them, and she changed, but it could have gotten a little hairy if the wrong person had seen them.
UPDATE: My mom did remember more info than I did. It was my great-grandma, and it was on my great-grandparents' honeymoon trip to Colorado, so it would have been in the 30s.
It's possible it was into the 60s. We're in California and my mom was not allowed to wear pants to school until she was in the 4th grade. Girls had to wear skirts or dresses and only boys could wear pants. She wore shorts under all her skirts so she could still run and play.
That's an exciting story, you should check and find out if it was your grandmother or great grandmother, that had to have been wild at the time. It's hard to imagine your clothes being legal in one state and not in another, that's history they never tell us about and it's really interesting.
my aunty got kicked out of a bar for wearing pants!
@TarynsTime I'll ask my mom if she remembers. She heard the story more times than me. My grandpa was the one who always told me the story, but he passed away last month, so I can't ask him. 😔
I love reading little tid bits of history like this I find it really interesting thanks for sharing now if we can get some pants that have real pockets lol
SERIOUSLY??? 5 YEARS??? NO!!!! Tyler JUST did the Disneyland proposal! Covid stole like a decade from us I swear! (lol, in ten years, please do a remake of this and have the covid date.... over zoom, yelling at each other from adjacent balconies, or masked up and 6 feet apart)
I think I would actually vomit if that was done.
The date would be on Animal Crossing New horizons
SAFYA YOU LOOK SOOOOO GOOD IN THE 90'S EVERYTHING OMG PLEASE DO YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY YASSSSSSS
Safiya, as a black and queer longtime watcher of yours (since BF days & I was a mere high schooler) I genuinely appreciate your added bit of recreating history but not idealizing it. It took 30 seconds for you to make me feel seen and appreciated especially in the state of our country. Thank you. ✨
I'm sorry, but I couldn't take Tyler seriously in the 70's look. It was giving the villain of Despicable Me 2.
3 despicable me 3
That’s what I was thinking 😭😂
NOOO lol
Why did the watching of a vcr get me emotional?
God I miss the 90s.
Ikr
The 1920s makeup suits you so well!! like I'm obsessed
social anxiety fears them
Its clear that they are soulmates in any decade.
I appreciate how much Tyler is willing to embrace the whole theme and dress up, complete with fake mustache! He's a keeper!
You're probably the only RUclipsr I don't mind a full-on skin-care commercial in the middle of the video from. At least you cosplayed different decades and made funny faces.
Saf and Tyler have always come off in love but its ESPECIALLY apparent in this video and its so sweet!!!!❤❤❤
I love Safiya's brows, but something about the flapper makeup, I think the lip shape, looked REALLY good on her. Or maybe that's just my inner goth being attracted to the eyeshadow, lol.
Update: The 1950's look is also killing it. Fully an Elizabeth Taylor vibe.
right??? i know she said the flapper look wasn't really her vibe, but i thought it looked SO GOOD. (especially because of how expressive she is!)
Yeah she might not have vibed with the look, but her face literally looked like it belonged in those catalogs
I’m going to honest but seeing Safiya without eyebrows while her makeup was being done just looked wrong. Her eyebrows really frame her face and make her look stunning, I think the painted on brows made her look a bit odd.
That 20s lip fits her so well. Omggggg Safiya is TEAAAAA
Olay: hey do you want money to make any video you could want to make?
Saf: yes please
Olay: okay what do you wanna do?
Saf: To dress up and go on dates with my husband okay thanks!
I have this thing that happens to me when I watch one of your videos late at night, when I’m trying to sleep (which for some reason seems to be the main time I watch them! might be the time difference?) but, effectively, I just get… sort of filled with a profound love for humanity. I suddenly become convinced that love is real and people are good and everything will be okay. when the world feels unkind and difficult to traverse, it’s hard to conjure those feelings. but these videos do it, every single time. it’s like a rapid-acting antidepressant! thank you so much for the years and years that you’ve given me that. x
That's such a kind comment 😭💖
Tyler is in white tie, the most formal of formal for men. Black tie is the same but with a black tie and the waistcoat is also normally black.
It doesn't help that rental places put them under the tuxedo section and call them a "full dress tailcoat tux". Even if you knew that white tie was a different dress code you might still call it a different type of tux out of reflex.
i don't know how or why but i got so emotional over this video at the end. it's so sweet seeing you two together. here's to another decade together!
Safiya, I've been following your work since you left BuzzFeed, and I truly appreciate the amount of effort you put into your videos and how mindful you are about the content you create. You are a f***ing amazing role model for everyone, both young and old (by the way, we share the same birthday!). Your content is truly incredible-not only entertaining but also making people curious enough to research more about the topics you cover. As a graphic designer who wants to become a college professor, I find that incredibly inspiring!
Keep up the great work!
Y'all win for most wholesome couple ever.
She didn't say she was going on dates for EVERY decade, guys. She chose 7 of them. Lol
Like a lesser YTber would have click baited and excused themselves with, "Need to make the bag"
(I am including the bigger priveleged YTber)
I absolutely LOVED this!!! Do more of these historical fashion videos!! I love that term “edutainment”. Thanks, Olay!!! 😊
I love seeing how you two do dates! There's something so heartwarming about seeing two people who obviously love one another and not only indulge in their partner's interest, but do it with gusto. Beautiful job. You've both come so far.
I remember using hotdog as an exclamation as a kid, but losing it as middle school happened
For anyone who doesn't know, the reason Safiya put her hand on the screen was because you can feel static!
"The original naughts" "Let's hit the links...broad!" "Wig, everywhere"..."Hot Lorax" LOL. This was a fun one. I LOVED the 30's look for both of you! You both look adorable :) Tyler looked best in the 00's and Saf looks best in the 70's; I don't know what that means, but...that's my unsolicited opinion. Loved this video!
Me: *Opens RUclips*
"Safiya Nygaard has uplo-"
Me: *CLICKS VIDEO INSTANTLY*
wait wait wait the bath and body works franken candle was in 2018???????????? why is time passing so damn fast i thought it was in like 2021 ???????????
Somehow it feels like Saf and Ty have been married forever and also they just got married lol.
I love to see you together! You are such a great couple, with the nerdy fun, inside jokes and clearly enjoying each other's company. + The way he looks at you Saf, damn the man loves you.
Can we just say how handsome Tyler looked in those suites and how beautiful Saf was in those dresses?
Just noticed 10 million subscribers, congrats!! 🥳
WOAHHH 20's safiya is almost unrecognizable!!!!
Easily one of the most satisfying RUclips videos I’ve ever seen. Smiled from ear to ear the entire time.
A really throws me off how much changing one's eyebrows change your entire face. Great video!
This is so sweet and beautiful, like yeah you guys did it all for a video but you really did get to go on 7 dates and do lots of fun cute things together and spend lots of time together 🥺 it's super cute and romantic
The commitment to excellence on this channel is unmatched and does not go unnoticed!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bot
My aunt makes a jello salad every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has lime jello, cottage cheese, pineapple, cherries and cool whip. It’s amazing and our dinners are not complete without it haha
Safiya looks SO GOOD in the 1920s look. Her face shape is meant for that kind of makeup, I love it
I was literally just talking about wanting another Saf upload and now she’s uploaded this just as I’m settling into bed for a cozy night watching this video :)
wake up the queen posted!
And when we needed her too ❤
IM AWAKE.
I WAS ABOUT TO SLEEP BUT THE QUEEN POSTED, TIME TO STAY UP
love Saf's commitment to the 2015 RUclips Fairy light background! haha The OG!
this is the most tyler and safiya coded thing I've ever seen!! so cute
thanks for acknowledging queer relationships in history at the beginning!! 💕
