So here's how to bullshit period accuracy, explained on examples:

Use only if you really must.

1. Think of the materials.

You can't give your 1820s fisherman character rubber boots. Vulcanised rubber wasn't invented/patented untill 1839. How do you achieve the look of the rubber boots? You consider available materials.

You can do leather and describe it as very very shiny. You can say the fisherman applied oil to the boots to make them more water resistant, which while maybe not something people actually did, is possible. Search the materials and material combinations! If you know your materials well enough, you can bullshit effectively.

2. Keep shapes in mind!

If you want your character to read to the modern reader as a goth, but the period is 1920s, YOU DON'T SNATCH THE WAIST! Instead you look at the popular silhouettes and build from there. 1920s silhouettes were very rectangular so you keep the rectangular dress and add little things that make it more goth - black colour, lace, pearls. All in moderation tho, which is the next point:

3. Hold yourself back!

It's very easy to put patterns on a design as a source of interest. It's easy to put a bunch of accessories on a guy to signify wealth or status. HOWEVER it's not a good choice! It will look very tacky and unless your character is very tacky, you don't need to do it. Pick 1 or 2 period accurate accessories and maximum 1 pattern unless the period does have this grandiose and maximalist thing going on. Put it front and centre. Then bullshit.

4. Keep in mind the technology!

Alastor's fucking undercut is actually possible, since razors were a thing in 1930s. What does make him read as period inaccurate is the shape of his hair, but again, the undercut is actually possible.

However this is the route you shouldn't really take, because like... If it breaks any point above it will be a punch to the eye. It will break the immersion. So maybe just don't UNLESS you REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. The arguably best way to preform this bullshitary is on low notice things.

For example if you want to give a character said bob... Actually reconsider that haircut is so ass. However having a character with greased hair before the invention of hair gel... Have them use natural wax.

5. Use ignorance to your advantage!

Let's be honest, trying to bullshit Victorian fashion is hard, because there are so many Victorian fashion nerds, you may actually come across someone nagging at you like "ehem, that's the wrong shade of arsenic purple colour!" to set an example. Meanwhile if you try to bullshit like renaissance style clothes and accidentally put in some references from classicism... Depending on how big, it may actually be overlooked.

It's kinda like the lighter vs. match where it may seem at first that the matches were made first, bur it's actually the lighter. Sometimes stuff just looks old enough and that's kinda it.

AND LASTLY

6. Figure out why!

Why does your punk coded character have ripped pants in the 1940s? He's clumsy as fuck and trips all the time.

Why does this character have so many frills on them, that's not how these dresses usually look! She's a magical girl.
