Trendy 20's
Essential part of a man's wardrobe? A suit. Suits were first introduced and made widley popular in the 1920's. They were made from thick wool, pants and shirts which made them heavy. The suit pants always matched the suit jacket. The pants were very wide at the bottom and tight at the waist. If you wanted to look like you're from the 20's looks at The Great Gatsby. Suits in this time period were given a more slim look instead of a casual look. Bow ties and regular ties were highly fashionable. -

Fab 40's
Zoot suits! The bright suit worn by African-Americans, Chicanos and Italian-Americans. But there were also plain suits to represent a working man or the post-war feeling, dark and bland.
