1920s Men Fashion-Bring it BACK!
I wish men now dressed like they did in the 20s.
I think men should dress like they did back in the 1920s. Men back in that time knew how to dress. I would much rather see a man dressed like the picture above than what I see now. Now, I am not a big fan of the women’s fashion in that time, I prefer woman’s fashion in the 50s. Let’s get into some of the men’s fashion in the 20s.
A formal evening suit for men back then would be a tuxedo, top hat, and leather Oxford shoes. Semi-formal attire would include tweed, herringbone, or pinstripe suits. Popular suit colors are blue, gray, brown, ivory, and black. Pinstripe suits were considered a symbol of wealth. It is also the time of suspenders. They first appeared in the 20s as a fashionable accessory for men. The purpose of suspenders was the same as a belt to hold up their pants.
Typical 20s businessmen wore 3-piece suits. That included a hat to match. Suits were usually made from heavy materials like wool, tweed, flannel, or corduroy. The typical shirt that they wore with suits were solid color shirts or contrasting vertical stripes. That was in order to stand out under waistcoat and jackets. Suits had wide trousers, single or double-breasted jackets, shirts, and a tie.
