1930s Fashion

The Return of Color

• Literary Digest, 1937 •


The attached fashion article from 1937 let it be known that men’s fashions were getting more colorful; items that we associate with the Fifties such as plaid cummerbunds made their appearance first in 1937. The first clothing item to cross the color line was, in all probability, the Hawaiian shirt – which came into vogue some five years earlier.


Pictured above is a 1930s suit that was worn by the Duke of Windsor.
