SUITS FOR ALL
In 1922 one fashion critic declared that the lounge suit had become “the almost universal utility dress for men,” but this did not mean that sartorial distinctions had become extinct.
Differences in the quality as well as the quantity of suits a man owned remained.
A suit could be bought ready-to-wear or secondhand, but many men still “bespoke” a suit from their tailor or had it made to measure.
Many appreciated the English cut promoted by London’s Savile Row tailors, but others preferred the less fitted and softer American “sack suit,” or the more overtly fashionable shapes provided by the French taileur.
Suit fabrics became lighter, particularly for summer — as demonstrated by the cloth used to make “Palm Beach” suits in the US.
This affected male underwear and slowly undershirts worn with cotton shorts replaced the earlier “union suit” (all-in-one undergarment).
Toward 1930 the high-waisted suits of the early part of the decade made way for a straighter silhouette.
HATS AND SHOES
Men in the 1920s could choose from a variety of hat shapes that had all been introduced in the previous century.
Other than the top hat, lounge suits could be worn with every hat type.
The bowler, also called derby or coke, was the most formal, followed by the homburg, a stiff felt with a center crease and rolled brim.
The trilby and wider-brimmed fedora, both named after literary characters, were everyday city hats, while the boater or other varieties of straw hat were for summer or the beach.
Shoes had gradually replaced boots since the turn of the century.
These were mainly of the lace-up Oxford type and had to be matched to the rest of the outfit and the season.
Dark business suits were worn with black or tan shoes, but in summer shoes of white leather or cotton duck accessorized white flannels or Palm Beach suits.
Toward the end of the decade two-tone shoes became all the rage.
