Mode Studios grabbed a male model and dressed him up in the most iconic looks from the past 100 years, beginning in 1915\. Things start off kind of charmingly retro and dapper, with sharp suits and spiffy hats. Then, we’re reminded of some of the more unfortunate looks that became popular for men (primarily in the 1970s and 80s.) Note how the stylists nail it with the ’90s look, particularly when it comes to facial hair and accessories. And when it is time for 2015’s modern style, they do a great job of making the model look like every guy you work with. _Read next:_ [_Watch 100 Years of Russian Beauty Trends in Less Than 2 Minutes_](http://time.com/3941689/100-years-russian-beauty/) ### Rand Paul's Unusual Fashion Sense  Politicians love to roll up the sleeves on their button-down shirts while out campaigning, but Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is one of the few to head straight for the short-sleeve shirt when on the stump. Win McNamee—Getty Images  Paul is also comfortable with a short-sleeve shirt and khakis, a more casual look also favored by his father, at right. Charles Dharapak—AP  While out campaigning, Paul also sometimes goes for a more Western look, pairing blue jeans with cowboy boots. Charles Ommanney—Getty Images  He's also been known to use jeans to make a more classic political combo of button-down shirt and power tie seem less formal. Richard Ellis—Getty Images  At other times, he'll make his outfit less formal by skipping the tie... James Crisp—AP  …or wearing a tie with a bold, fun pattern... Scott Olson—Getty Images  …or by going with a more daring color of shirt... Sonia Moskowitz—Getty Images  …or wearing a sweater on top... Stephen Lance Dennee—AP  …or just wearing a turtleneck. Tom Williams—CQ-Roll Call/Getty Images  At times, Paul has been extremely casual. Hunter Wilson—AP  But at other times, he dressed in the standard Washington fare. Mark Wilson—Getty Images  And he's been known to favor a formal winter coat too. Win McNamee—Getty Images  But even when he does dress up, Paul often finds a way to make the look his own, such as with a pair of sunglasses. Bill Clark—CQ-Roll Call/Getty Images  Sunglasses may also just be a favored accessory because he is an eye doctor. Melina Mara—Washington Post/Getty Images  But whatever he's wearing, Paul finds a way to make it his own.
