No CC Decades Outfits 2.0

1920s Men's Fashion:  

Finally, the men gets some much needed changes to their fashion! After WWI a new fashion ideal has started to emerge among men, with a slimmer silhouette and more modern looking suits. The fedora is now the most popular hat style, ties look more and more like today's versions, the wrist watch has made it's entrance onto the scene and underwear has found color! As the biggest change happened for formal wear in the previous decade with the introduction of the tux, I will skip that category for this post. 

Everyday and summer outfits: 

For the first outfit it's an update to the worker fashion. Note that still not much has happened here, men still work in their three piece suits or overalls, still favour jeans with upturned cuffs (to put things in) and basically this outfit is an addition to the ones from earlier eras. I just wanted to show off the Crystal creations vest as I think it's perfect for these early eras. 

The third look is to show off another change, the more casual fashion, where men could wear pullovers or sweater vests instead of jackets at times (mostly at home). That style also sports the new wristwatch. I've chosen the square shape to honor one of the most iconic watches of the time, the Cartier Tank. For the rest of the outfits I've tried to represent the more modern suits (looks 4-7), and although they should have vests (look 2), I suppose you could imagine that they are there but not seen because the jacket is buttoned. The last two are summer looks, one representing the sailor outfit (mentioned in the Great Gatsby) and a bright and elaborate vest outfit. The hat of the summer was the boater hat, though panama hats were also becoming more fashionable. Note also that the oxford has gone from being a shoe of leisure and sports to becoming the choice of everyday wear. 

Winter outfits: 

For winter outfits, you can still use the knitwear, as it got ever more popular even among the middle class. The coat from vampires still work really wall, but I also added the BG coat with knitwear sweater and shirt as I think the more modern cut works for the time. It might be a bit too early, but I think you could get away with it. 

Athletic wear: 

For gym-clothes a lot happened in this decade. First of all, the invention of the gym shoe (later sneaker), but also a more functional wardrove where you didn't always need a shirt and tie when working out! The fist outfit is a standard go to the gym outfit of the time. The tank top would be made of cotton or wool, and look identical to underwear. It came in white, gray, green, red, navy or orange. The shorts come down to mid thigh and are black (could also be a bright color). Here there is a drawstring, but they could also have a belt. Socks were high, often patterned. If you wanted something warmer to wear, the sweatshirt was introduced this decade. Here I opted for white, but often they were two toned, so navy blue with white cuffs, or red with blue cuffs... White or gray were also common. The last outfit is inspired by the tennis outfits at the time where they still insisted that shirts be worn and oxfords still were seen as the proper shoe to wear. Golfing outfits from the previous decades also remained basically unchanged. 

Swimwear: 

Swimwear underwent quite a big change in this decade, resembling in many ways the women's swimsuits. For a large part of the decade you could basically not tell a male swimsuit and a female swimsuit apart. The main reason was the skirt in male swimsuits (looks 1 and 2) which were meant to cover the crotch. Towards the end of the decade men started seeing two piece swimsuits, with a tank top unitard and a pair of shorts. The third outfit here shows off the color choice of the time (orange was really popular) as well as the habit of having white lines on the side of the shorts, but the outfit is lacking a belt (white fabric with a metal clasp). The second outfit has the belt, but it's the wrong type. It's the closest I could get however. 

Sleepwear and underwear: 

Men's underwear and sleepwear changed a bit too during this outfit, though less so than gym clothes and swimwear. The first outfit is very much the same as previous decades, and this was still the base of male underwear, usually in one piece. The second look, however, sports a novelty of the time - the boxer. Often colorful and striped this is here represented by colorful (though the pattern is dead wrong). The last two outfits I've used before but just added more color. Red, blue, green, gold - often elaborate patterns. There was great variation of robes and pjs for men.
