Menswear

Menswear in the 1920s to 30s was very different from the styles of the past. Men wore a new style of trouser called the "Oxford bag" which were made out of grey flannel. They were introduced by graduates from the Oxford University. They usually wore these trousers with blazers which created a informal lounge suit.

Gigolos

However, this traditional english gentlemans look was then overalled by Gigolos, these were dark young men generally with a south african background who slicked back their hair and wore immaculately pressed tails and trousers.
