Let's take a peak into the roaring 1920s

What men wore in the Twenties

Well it is know fact that women's fashion changed dramatically in the 20's with the Flapper Style and the Introduction of one the worlds most noted designers Coco Chanel.

Men's business and formal wear has not changed much since the 1920s. However, a notable exception is casual wear. A fashionable sporting outfit usually consisted of linen knickers, a V-necked sweater with a bow tie, and, the classic spectator shoes. An English driving cap or casual straw hat supplemented the outfit well. College men started the trend of "oxford bags," wide-legged cuff pants that dragged along the ground. The popular yachting look displayed a navy sport coat, white slacks, and yachting cap. Bow- and standard windsor-knot neckties were equally popular. Over the years many designers have incorporated this look into their designs. Ralph Lauren has added this look to several of his collections.
