Answer 1

It depends on the society and location, but the European and European influenced clothing in the 1890's were characterized in a fashion sense by tall collars, simpler women's clothing, and a lot more sport wear.

Women's clothing became simpler, less exaggerated, and favoring less colorful selections. It was also the introduction of sportswear, such as bicycle dresses and tennis dresses.

Men mostly wore blazers and contrasting waistcoats, while still favoring the floppy bow tie. The usual favor were matching coat and waist coat, dark trousers, and a neutral short turnover collar.
