The Black & Beautiful Club: Fabulous Fashion Of “The Harlem Renaissance”

The Dapper Gentleman

men 1920Intent on gaining respect and credibility in business and politics, Harlem men shed their farm and factory denims for tailored suits. Made of wool or linen and available in a variety of colors and patterns, the crisp three-piece suit not only appeared at work and church but also on evening strolls, at dinner tables and on speakeasy dance floors. The defined shoulders and narrow hips became more exaggerated at the end of the 1920s as jazz musicians adopted a looser fit. This style evolved over the next decade into the legendary zoot suit. Male casual wear typically consisted of slacks and sweater vests.

    I want to know more about the living style of the roaring 1920’s. I think Black folks were socially and maybe economically at the peak during this time.

    @Floyd: You should re-think that. Remember this movement, while very important, was just a small part in the development of black America because during this time, the OVERWHELMING number of black people were still living in the backwoods of the Southeastern states of our nation. It wasn’t until the “Great Migration” of the late 20s and beyond when we left the villages and farms that black people began to come into our own.
