@dapper.delinquent: Replying to @littlekid974i feel like im gonna regret making a video for the Black Butler fandom ngl ๐๐๐ but we shall see! #dapperdelinquent #formalinfiction #blackbutler #blackbutlercosplay
in the manga itโs revealed sebastian made his suit without knowing much about current fashion so the fact it doesnโt actually make a lot of sense when analyzed totally ads up to his uncanny valley vibes

Ciel having a lot of outfits is an understatement. He can easily reach 30 in the anime alone

New headcanon, Sebastian is just always behind on fashion trends.

Rizzo :
Lore-wise, Ciel wears heels because he wants to be seen as an adult instead of a short child. His fiancรฉ, Elizabeth, compliments this design choice by wearing flat shoes (despite others girls her age wearing heels), in order to let Ciel appear taller.

He is, after all, one hell of a butler

season 1 specifically takes place in 1888 because Jack The Ripper is a major plot point.

In fact, it's mentioned in the manga that Sebastian is an 'old-fashioned' butler
He thinks the fashions of the time are inferior and prefers 'maintaining formality' to 'following new trends' haha

tiny bit of manga lore. Ciel's outfits are seen as different from society because of the seamstress that normally design his clothes. She is obsessed in bringing more bold and feminine style in Ciel's fits

itsamiemario :
The anime/ manga is definitely influenced from ouji and Lolita fashion which came from the Japanese interest in western fashion so there wonโt be complete accuracies and there are a lot of liberties taken.

technically Sebastian is hundreds of years old so being a decade or two out of date probably isn't a big deal to him lmao
Also Ciel is pronounced more like See-elle rather than seal :3

the clothes are noted to be asynchronous! the creator at one point said she just likes drawing them better than time accurate ones

In the Campania arc it was revealed, that Ciel wears the heels to look taller. If I remember correctly he didnโt wear them before his parents passed and a s the new house head he wants to look a at a bit tall I think

John Doe :
me, who knows nothing about suits or fashion, every other sentence you said about Sebastian's suit: oh! that ties in with sebastian's [lore/theme]! haha
i know the author actually studied art and stuff of the period and shows massive amounts of that knowledge subtly in her work, and i assume that includes fashion. she does go kind of all out on the character's costumes.

โ~CIEL~โ :
For an exact date, the showโs start date is 1888. These dates come from the fact that Ciel is currently 13 (born 1875). โ88 is the year theyโre in the outfits you look at in the vid but the show is currently in mid/late 1889 as of the most recent season. For Cielโs reasoning for heels, he simply wears them to look taller. A big part of his character is trying to appear older / more mature as heโs a child Earl.

The writer of black butler uses real historic fashion as a reference, then usually she changes up some things depending on the type of genre it is, like with twisted wonderland where she based diasomniaโs dorm uniforms that of early 1900โs military clothes (the uniforms theyโd wear when not in battle)

Crimson Camelia :
There's a reason why Ciel wears heels, it's not presented as a common thing in the show. He uses them 'cuz his whole family d13d and he is the only heir but even if he is currently "The Phantomhive Count" he's looked down and treated like a child constantly. Thanks to that, he became a little bit obsessed with his own height and used heels and high top hats to look taller and (in his mind) more mature and respectful... which I find a pretty interesting detail. The author is really into fashion so there's a lot to unpack on each design.
