Would it be possible that the fashion* of the classical era survived

It sort of did. In the Byzantines, at least. Not to mention the whole 'bright colours' thing. Bright colours were hard to maintain, and some rare, so the Greek's love of utter gaudiness and looking like a passing gay pride parade survived. Beyond that, I doubt it.

I'll admit to not knowing much about medieval fashion, but modern fashion evolved on the back of use. Men's clothing, especially, is based on military clothing about 30-40 years late. Women's has sort of started branching out, but most clothes follow a pattern and can sort of be traced back to one 'style' of garment that was used or worn in a certain way, with a particular styling.

If you mean armour, well, no. Sorry. Not really. A lot of roman stuff can ultimately be traced back to those filthy dog fucking greeks, at least ins mall portions. But things started developing in the technological sense in the 'middle' period, with development really taking off at the end of it.

Everyone in the classical era dressed the same, with no difference from Spain to Persia, and no changes over the centuries?

Well ain't that something.

Could not you make it look classical? Looks like a hoplit, but uses modern weapons and armours like chain mails.

How would a Greek or Macedonian Phalanx look like if it evolved into the Medieval period?
Why did the Swiss, French or Spanish Pike not use Shields?

It stops being a hoplite at some point.

That's an amazing question, have you tried turning on your brain at all?

>>51679593
I seriously have no idea mate. I just like fashion - the prancy lala homoman sort of fashion - because tracing the lines of evolution is interesting.

But pikes, because shields are expensive and a pike is fucking huge and difficult to carry. The phalanx was outdated by the medieval period. Too many options against it. I have no idea how it could survive - the three line method was just too good.

No.

Medieval people fapped over antiquity already.
