thats an interesting topic and I thought the same as u b4 I started to digging pictures of all eras und in all details and since I'm a fashion freak ... ... actually he DID wear some elements during more than 1 era. for example that jacket (4 which I would give my left arm btw). the pic above is from lovesexy and I know that cause its my screenshot it was kiss in dortmund. exhibit b: the lace top underneath that jacket which he wore famously on the lovesexy tour but again on the nude tour (e.g. rock in rio and we had some wonderful pics with that lace top and white silk pants). the lovesexy belt with those huge pendants appeared somewhat later as necklace and those big mirrored heart/diamond etc. bracelets which the whole band had were elements on SOTT and lovesexy and so on. jewelleries accompanied him over decades or desappeared and appereared years later again like his huge PR loop earring, that came again in nps/rave era. I didn't observe his shades yet but probably these are the parade ones in that pic. so he changed the style but took some elements with him.

Edit: oh and don't let us forget the hip chain that was our pleasure over some eras

LC, I saw a photo of him wearing the same lace top (from the Dortmund show) at Rock in Rio 2 concert. So it looks like he did wear clothing across eras more often than I thought. And the blouse he wears during the ATWIAD "era" (although I don't know if it's even appropriate to call ATWIAD an era) is a continuation of the PR era.

Up until Purple Rain, his style evolved, but I could clearly see continuity in some of the clothing, especially the iconic purple coat that he wore during the 1999 and PR eras. From what I can tell, he wore this same purple coat that is in the photo below during the 1999 and PR eras. That's why I said that after Purple Rain, the eras looked to be more distinct. I can't think of a peice of clothing as iconic as the purple jacket that he wore across eras.

ah I see ... haven't realised that pr-blouse in the raspberry beret video era b4 ... I would call it like that cause I think that was an "era" itself with the cloud suit and the liza minnelli hairdo
yes b4 purple rain his style was evolving and I call it a mess sometimes sorry. but I always loved that coat (in grey as well as the purple one). lace is the one very distinctive style element he took with him over decades and integrated it in dozens of diffent designs ... and I'm very grateful 4 that! ... its fun 2 watch the style changes and the sometimes not changing elements and accessories over the years ... I learned a lot about it by trying 2 allocate those often blurry and dark stage pics to a timeframe/era ... sometimes its just a combination of the shape of his beard and a ring

LC, love that U mentioned lace, and U R absolutely spot-on about him integrating it into his outfits across decades. In my opinion, no man in the history of the world has ever or will ever look better in lace than Prince.
