The Classic Styles: Mens Fashion of the 1920s
Mens fashion of the 1920s showed a a sharp and unique contrast to those of the previous decades (thank goodness!!!). At the end of WWI, men came home to find their closets full of clothes that were outdated. The soldiers returned to the "Edwardian" and Victorian wardrobes they had left before the war. These clothes didn't reflect the vibrancy and individualism that marks the 1920s as unique in American history.
Though the shift in mens fashion was not as pronounced as that of women's fashion movement.
Especially flapper fashion. However, men's suits and styles changed rapidly as the 1920's wore on. Away from the stuffy conservative suits of the previous fashion eras, to a more "masculine" and individualistic approach to men's suits. Though during the early parts of the decade men still wore the very structured slim sacque suits had been popular with "gentlemen" since the mid-1800's. These days a similar look to the 1920's "sacque" suit, is back in style being worn by many fashion forward hip-hop artists, athletes and movie stars. You can read more about 1920s mens fashion here.
