Men's wear in the 1920s is not very different from men's business attire today. A good suit, tie, hat, and shoes were all a man needed to dress in the day. Evening events were much more formal will full tuxedos even for a dinner party with friends.
To dress like a man from the 1920's you will need the following:
Suit- Suit jackets were usually single breasted, with minimal buttons, and had an overall loose appearance. Pants were held high on the waist with pleats at the top and cuffs at the bottom. In cool seasons suits were dark grey, blue or brown wile summer colors were white, ivory, pastels and occasionally pink (Gatsby wore a pink suit in novel The Great Gatsby.)
Vest- A daywear vest, if not designed to match the suit, would be a similar shade of color such as tan with an off-white suit, or pastel color with a darker suit.
Shirt- A typical button down dress shirt in white would be most fashionable and comfortable. Collars were "club" style meaning they had rounded edges instead of pointed. These can be very difficult to find today.
Tie- Bow ties were more common then neck ties. Bright solid colors or patterns of geometrical shapes were the height of fashion. Ties were thinner and a bit longer in the 20's then they are today.
Pocket Square- Also known as a handkerchief, the Pocket Square matched the bow tie in color if not in pattern as well. Pocket Squares were folded in the men's front jacket pocket.
Suspenders- They not only held up men's pants but were a fashion accessory. Belts started to be popular only in the late 1920's.
Hat- Men do not wear hats today as they did in the 1920s. Winter hats included the bowler, flat cap (also known as a cab driver hat), panama (felt), or its cousin the Fedora. Summer hats were made of straw, such as the straw Boater (aka Skimmer) or the Optimo Panama hat. Top hats were still used for formal wear.
Shoes- The final defining element of a man's dress was his shoes. Two toned spectator dress shoes were the most appropriate. Fringed tongues and wingtips on Oxfords and Brogues were seen frequently.
It can take a considerable amount of time and research to put together all the pieces of a 1920's men's outfit. The 1920s Mens Fashion Shop has scoured the web and put together all the necessary clothes, shoes and accessories on one page. It is one-stop shopping at its best.
Remembering John F. Kennedy Assassination—Account from 6-Year Old Living in Dallas that Fateful Day
During our history, there are certain events that make you stop and pause. On the anniversary of those events, we often reflect on what we were doing on those days. How many remember November 22, 1963, the day someone assassinated President John F. Kennedy? That day made an indelible imprint on me, as I was an impressionable 6-year old attending Catholic school in Dallas that fateful day.
In 1963, I was a first-grader attending Holy Trinity Catholic Elementary School, located just a few blocks from the corner of Oaklawn and Lemmon Avenues; an intersection on the President's traveling route from Dallas Love Field Airport to downtown Dallas.
The Daughters of Charity Catholic nuns at our school decided that it would be beneficial for each student to witness the momentous occasion of the President visiting our city. Therefore, they organized a field trip to that intersection, which was just a short walk from our school. Shortly before noon, the entire school, from first graders to eighth graders, made the procession to that intersection, lining the sidewalk of Lemmon Avenue.
We patiently awaited his arrival and were excited to see him approach from the north, the direction of Dallas Love Field Airport. As the President's motorcade arrived, it slowed, pausing briefly, allowing us a closer look at him and the other passengers. He was waving and smiling. I remember thinking that his wife, the First Lady, had on the prettiest pink outfit, with the cutest pink hat.
Within minutes, the motorcade was gone. As we walked back to the school, I remember thinking how much fun it was to go on a field trip and to see such an important man. I also was reflecting on the attractiveness of the First Lady and I wanted to own a pink outfit and hat like hers one day. The entire school was jovial and giddy as we arrived back at the school, just in time to eat lunch.
However, our joy was short-lived. We soon discovered that the President had been shot and was rushed to Parkland Hospital. Several children noticed our soft-spoken pastor running hurriedly across the schoolyard that day. Later we learned that it was our church pastor, Father Oscar Huber, a Vincentian priest, who administered the Last Rites to mortally wounded President John F. Kennedy that historic day.
When I first began going to school, I liked it. Learning to read was fun because our teacher, Sister Mary Carol, was very energetic and employed colorful phonetic flip charts as teaching tools. However, with the news of the shooting, the atmosphere the rest of the day became very somber. All learning ceased, as the nuns were distraught and therefore, instructed the entire school to keep a prayerful vigil.
I never gave much thought to the leader of our nation before that day. I knew he was important, but I did not truly understand how much others loved him until he was killed. Furthermore, I discovered a very important human characteristic in the aftermath of the tragedy: people sometimes blame others inappropriately for destructive actions.
As the days and weeks unfolded in 1963, there was an onslaught of negative publicity about Dallas and the Dallas police force. As a small child, I did not understand why the nation was calling our city 'a terrible place' and 'they killed the President.' How could a place kill the President?
I have since discovered that blame is used as a way for people to feel better about themselves. In a time when the nation was terribly hurt, many lashed out with blame to ease their own internal pain of loss.
Almost 50 years have passed since that auspicious day. The President loved the nation and served it with the sacrifice of his own life. Blame is a form of degradation. Therefore, it is not a constructive attribute, but instead, is indicative of someone who thinks they know better than another does. Is this not a form of judgment, as one seeks superiority over another? Therefore, wouldn't it be a proper memorial for President John F. Kennedy if every citizen chose to release all blame and judgment?

In Turner's Record-Breaking Sale, Further Signs of a Shrinking Market
A Los Angeles museum threw restraint aside -- wisely -- to pay a world record £29.72 million for a classic Turner landscape at Sotheby's, a further confirmation that major works are vanishing from auction houses.
