Many people cite this decade as the start of the "Golden Age in Menswear." Some even argued that the suit, as you know it today started blossoming at that point in time. While The Great Gatsby style comes to mind, is 1920s fashion truly all flashy and glam? 01:38 Misconceptions about 1920s Clothes Maybe you've watched a virally popular video from Glam about 100 years of men's fashion. While the production crew was excellent, the subject matter, the clothes were mostly inaccurate. 02:37 Real 1920s Menswear: Jackets 05:42 Waistcoats and Vests 06:48 Trousers 09:00 The "Jazz Suit" 09:36 Shirts & Collars 11:41 Footwear 13:15 Headwear 15:23 Facial Hair 16:20 Accessories → Canes → Pocket Square → Timepieces → Eyewear → Neckwear 19:48 Formal Clothing → Morning Wear → Evening Wear Overall, the '20s were a lot of fun and if you like the style, I suggest you check out the series Babylon Berlin, which is a German series, and it's not all accurate but it has some cool styles as well. It also goes beyond the stuff you might have already seen. 21:13 Outfit Rundown
