In the 1930s, men’s clothing was inspired by athletes with their broad shoulders and thin waists. Suits were wide, pants were wide, even the shirt collars were large. The styles narrowed throughout the decade until they became what we would call a classic fit today. 1930s suits were full of color and distinctive patterns — plaids, checks, and stripes mixed with beautiful solid colors. It truly was the era of men’s finest classic clothing. Read more the decade’s fashion through our men’s articles here or scroll to the bottom of the page for 1930s men’s fashion history.
