Fashion Back den!!!

The fashion of the 1930's was very different than the fashion today.  Hats for both men and women were popular for both day and evening wear.

Men wore suits with a matching top hat and over coats.

Men's pants were wide and high waisted. Vest sweaters became an alternative to the traditional matching vest of the three piece suit, and hats were mandatory for the well dressed male
