Most suits in the early 1900s consisted of three pieces: the jacket, the trousers, and the vest (known as a waistcoat at the time).

Suits became simpler, slimmer and brighter.
-
Suits took on the "superman" look; suits were fashioned to show off extra broad shoulders (with shoulder pads), thin waists, and tapered legs.
-
Most consider this the last decade with a "gentlemen style". Suits began to be made without vests, pocket flaps, and trouser cuffs.
-
Suits no longer sported shoulder pads, ties were slimmer, shirt collars were less pronounced, and the brims of hats were considerably narrower. Trousers, however, remained mostly unchanged.
Greasers became a popular subculture.
