The Vampire Diaries' fans LOVE a flashback! Take a look at some of Damon and Stefan Salvatore's fashions through the years, all in one handy gallery.
1. The Salvatore Brothers' Civil War Looks

It was love at first sight when Damon and Stefan Salvatore laid eyes on Katherine Pierce thus beginning their own personal civil war.
2. Damon Salvatore

Damon Salvatore first met Katherine Pierce in the 1860s. He also rocked some suspenders LIKE A BOSS.
3. Suited Up

Paul Wesley, aka Stefan Salvatore, makes this 1860s-inspired suit look good.
4. Damon's Smirk

No matter his attire, the Damon Salvatore smirk stays the same. Thank god. Also, please check out this glorious hair on Ian Somerhalder. Much better than that mullet he sported during The Vampire Diaries Season 4.
5. Dressed to Impress

No matter the decade, Damon and Stefan Salvatore look good in suits. (They probably look even better NOT in suits, but, you know...network TV...)
6. Arm Candy

Is Damon Katherine's arm candy, or is she his? It's impossible to tell. What IS possible to tell is that these two are beautiful together in any era.
7. MORE Arm Candy

Okay, but really. Katherine Pierce looks amazing. Stefan Salvatore looks amazing. IS IT POSSIBLE she's actually a witch who just makes everyone look amazing, including herself?
8. A Hatted Hottie

Damon knew how to wear a hat long before Sage taught him how to enjoy being a vampire, but this shot of him in 1912 just proves he can pull off absolutely any look.
9. Old Time Damon

Still sporting the longer hair, 1912 Damon was the pinnacle of fashion.
10. Stefan in the 20s
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--5lCivMGE--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1371223051/stefan-in-the-20s.png)
Hold on to your necks, ladies and gentlemen! Ripper Stefan was dressed to impress (or force) his way into the jugulars of women everywhere in the Roaring 20s.
11. Damon in Uniform
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--yWdXRAOr--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1371237862/damon-in-uniform.png)
We DO love a Damon Salvatore in uniform, no matter the decade!
12. Stefan in Uniform
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--MZewaFK9--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1371237914/stefan-in-uniform.png)
Lexi sent Stefan off to war to prove to himself he could handle being around all the bodies. One thing he for sure proved is that he looks good in uniform.
13. 1970s Damon
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--ls0izMSP--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1371240476/1970s-damon.png)
Punk Damon had no you-know-whats to give about Lexi's attempts to force him to turn his humanity back on. He was having too much fun looking awesome.
14. Damon in the 60s
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--el7MLsog--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1397169156/damon-in-the-60s.jpg)
We have to admit, 60s Damon Salvatore was pretty cool. (Any decade Damon Salvatore will likely evoke the same admissions...)
15. 1980s Stefan
![](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--6dfWWrBa--/t_slideshow/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1371239679/1980s-stefan.png)
This is the closest we've been to a 1980s flashback, and if Stefan could make that decade look good, absolutely anything is possible.
