During the 1970s, new ideas about masculinity began to permeate men’s fashion. For instance, platform shoes, chunky sweaters and leisure suits were all in, and there was a growing desire to “fit in” with the crowd. The economic boom and an attitude toward success and power dressing led to an almost gluttonous decade. The ’80s saw the rise of collegiate-style clothing and casual wear, which became a key trend.
Men’s clothing also changes with age
As men’s fashion changed and the war wore out the middle-class man, it took on a new, more relaxed look. In 1910, men began to wear more simplistic three-piece suits. These were made from lightweight, durable materials with wide lapels. Shirt collars were longer and pointed, and ties were detachable. The trend lasted through the 1980s, but never reached the level of exuberance that was associated with it in the ’60s.
When the prep-casual ‘look becomes an important trend
In the 1980s, men’s fashion took a turn for the worse, with a fashion shift toward excess. In the ’80s, the ‘preppy-casual’ look became an important trend, thanks to the young working class. In the 1990s, men tended to banish everything from the 1960s and ’70s and replaced it with a more minimal style. A classic black suit or a navy jacket topped with a blazer is all that is needed to keep the summer cool.
Men’s clothing changes a lot at this time
In the ’70s, men began wearing stylish three-piece suits that came in a range of different colors. The high-waisted pants, jackets, and shoes were often in the same fabric. The jacket was a jacket that was worn over the trousers and was usually thicker than the shirt. It was still considered a more conservative style. This period also marked the beginning of the preppy-casual era.
80s-90s began to wear more practical clothing
By the early ’80s, men’s fashion took a turn to excess. Preppy-casual became a major trend in the ’80s, thanks to the young working class. In the ’90s, men started ditching the ’70s’ trends and adopted a more minimalist style. But it didn’t last long. They began to wear more practical clothes and embraced the idea of minimalism.
Polo shirts were the most common type of men’s clothing in this decade
In the 1920s, men’s fashion became more serious and less frilly. The daytime suit was made of a single-breasted jacket with narrow lapels. It was paired with a single-breasted shirt and trousers. A button-down shirt was worn with a pair of sneakers. A polo-shirt was the most common type of men’s apparel. During the ’70s, many men began wearing sportswear and preppy-casual clothes.
Men’s fashion began to express themselves through prints and accessories
Throughout the 20th century, men’s fashion has changed. The decade’s first decades were filled with a plethora of trends, such as military wear and distressed denim. In addition to the military-style attire, men’s fashion began to express themselves through prints and accessories. The ’80s also saw a return to practicality in men’s clothing. At the same time, collegiate sportswear style had become the norm, and men’s style was more streamlined and functional.
