Fans of The Vampire Diaries are split when it comes to Delena vs. Stelena (vs. Staroline and vs. Bamon and...) but there's one truth universally acknowledged amongst fans of the series.

The Vampire Diaries flashbacks are the bee's knees. 

Maybe it's because they're a cool way to learn about important moments in our favorite characters' histories. Or maybe we just really, really love a good period costume. Either way, take a look at some of Damon and Stefan Salvatore's best looks now:

From Civil War uniforms to 1970s punk fashion, The Vampire Diaries' costuming department is always on point. (Except for maybe that Silas-goes-Greek incident circa The Vampire Diaries Season 5. Paul Wesley. In a toga. LOLOLOLOLOL.)

Since we don't currently have any rumblings regarding flashbacks for The Vampire Diaries Season 6, we're hoping this little jaunt down fashion-memory lane will be enough to hold us all over. Then again, Bonnie IS still trapped in 1994 and sporting some serious flannel...

If this isn't enough to whet your flashback-loving appetite, you can always binge watch The Vampire Diaries online. You're sure to find some smirky Salvatore satisfaction if you do.
