1950s Mens Fashion

Sabrina sees the handsome young William Holden and the older but but nonetheless charming Humphrey Bogard as the rich Larabee brothers who wear the finest 1950s suits to the finest 1950s parties.

Typical 1950s mens fashion involved dark blue, brown or charcoal suit

but at the weekend it was much more casual with suit jackets swopped for cardigans. 

In the summer men wore two-piece suits in seersucker or lightweight cotton to semi-formal occasions or the office. 

During play outdoors, men wore khaki trousers, short-sleeved light weight sweaters or short sleeved button downs. 

The straw fedora was a must-have accessory that provided protection against the sun as well as adding a cool, downtown feel to the outfit.
