Although the shape changed little, vests, pocket flaps, and trouser pleats and cuffs were removed to conserve material. In contrast, the flashy zoot suits, occasionally worn by young men, boasted baggy pants and large, wide shoulders. With the end of war rationing came longer, full cut suits. Men's hair was longer and greased back during the 1940s, especially for teenagers and young men. https://padlet.com/mclark58/25e6fwvec7un/wish/236954941 2018-03-01 15:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/25e6fwvec7un/wish/236954941 https://padlet.com/mclark58/25e6fwvec7un/wish/236955720 mens wear 1942 in july]]> 2018-03-01 15:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mclark58/25e6fwvec7un/wish/236955720 Day dresses were often pastel, with Peter Pan collars and full gathered skirts.

From black starched mousseline dresses with ruffled jabots to glazed chintz dirndls with white lace and pink satin — it seemed nothing was off limits.

No 1940s dress was complete without fur, gloves and a large piece of jewelry. A fine necklace wouldn’t hurt either.
