Style of vestments, fabric, isn't it all part of 'liturgical fashion'? A matter of taste?
I see the TLM pictures mostly while priests are wearing 'roman' fiddleback chasubles and the deacon/subdeacon in the same style. And indeed a lot of lace...
Is that really necessary?
I have the feeling that some people make a kind of 'must' of all those elements. Why would it be impossible to celebrate a TLM in a hyper-modern church with modern, 'German style', bronze cross, candlesticks, tabernacle? Wearing modern vestments?
I tell you what: I have traditional Mass sets in all colous, made by a famous Dutch atelier (Stadelmayer), with maniple (!) in a very modern style, wider than gothic. They were made for a church built end 60's, and of course the maniples are still brand new, and esp. the black set, but still... Can I say that they could not be used? Not in my neogotic church maybe, but when I would say a EF Mass in a modern church, (f.e. a Requiem), I would bring that 'modern' black set with me. On the other hand, in a neogotic church, I have the personal feeling that gothic vestments are more in style than a neogothic fiddleback chasuble. I have both, the gothic brand new, the fiddlebacks old ones.
The same with lace. Is lace necessary? No. Under a gothic chasuble, a plain white alb is fine.
Sometimes I think: it's about Mass and concentrate on what is the most important: the content and the prayers. All those ornaments are of course to give honour to the Lord, the sollemnity of the Mass is expressed. But it can also distract. Like churches completely ornated with paintings and polychrome statues and altars, can sometimes be so overwhelming for the eyes, that I prefer wooden altars without polychromy in a church with nice colours but more white walls. For my personal prayer experience, I don't like too many colours.
It's all a matter of taste and balance. Sometimes less is more, and the Middle Ages knew...
Beauty can be simple as f.e the architecture of the Cistercian abbey of Fontenay (
