There has been a small but growing fascination among younger people with what might be called “retro” dress. It’s been going on for years. Back when I was living in California I once saw a young man, probably early 20’s, dressed like he had just won the lottery, circa 1920’s. He was walking in a shopping mall in Modesto and was wearing a crisp white 3 piece suit with gold watch chain, a panama style hat and had tan colored spats on his shoes. People were actually taking pictures of the kid on their phones.

And then there is the neo-victorian fad in New York...

There is also a growing interest among young people who go watch silent films and dress in the period attire of the times.

Terrific fashions in that era right up into the 40’s.
