Men's Chic Driving Style in 1920s
Men’s fashion in the 1920s was affected by the rise of the automobile as part of the culture. There was a bloom in the economy and this resulted in more people being able to afford a car, and the fashion industry made use of this change to make clothings worn specifically for driving. As shown in the photo above, men would wear flat wool or tweed English driving caps with matching vented leather gloves. The leather jacket was also quite popular in the 1920s, and many like to include a white silk scarf to complement it too.
I love the fashion in this era as it brings out a sense of how a classy gentlemen would dress, with class and in style. I would not mind wearing this to school, but the weather in Singapore is sometimes too hot to bear to wear two layers of clothing. Maybe I can wear this for a formal presentation in school next time. Just a little worried it might be too over the top. But then again, we are studying in an arts school, no harm wearing something more fashionable.
