1950s Men's Fashion


1955 Men's Suit Jackets

          In the world of men’s fashion, suits in the 1950s are classic. Loose and in shape and cut they varied in textured fabrics- wool, tweed, flannel, and corduroy as well as patterned – big checks and plaid.
          Unlike suits from the previous decades, suit jackets from the 1950s had a noticeable waistline. Shoulders remained slightly padded and wide. The collar was wider and short, so you could see more of the shirt collar 
underneath. The closing button was located just below the natural waistline.



          Double breasted jackets were clearly outnumbered by single breasted styles. However, they were worn by some men and featured wide pocket flaps and a low buttoning point, exposing a lot of the shirt front.
