00:00 1950s Menswear Introduction

The 1950s were certainly cheerier than the 1940s. It was the age of increasing comfort and convenience. And it did see the birth of the teenager, of a rebellious youth, and the different fashions and styles that came along with it.

You can see that the 1950s was a colossal decade for fashion. Despite the post-war issues at the time, consumerism was booming and people were enjoying fashion and freedom to its fullest extent.

Casual clothing is becoming much more mainstream, and so most men are ditching the suit after work and slipping into clothes we might recognize ourselves wearing today. This really is such a wide-ranging decade when it comes to clothing, and we hope that we’ve managed to capture most of it to the best of our ability for this video.

What are your opinions on 1950s fashion? Is there anything you’d like to see come back? Do the 1950s influence your wardrobe in any way?
