The 1950s: A Fashionable Walk Down Memory Lane

Tailored Suits - The Quintessential 1950s Attire

The 1950s was undeniably the era of the suit. Men wore suits that were sharply tailored, exuding an air of sophistication and professionalism. This was a time when the details mattered - from the cut of the lapel to the drape of the trousers. Suits in navy, gray, and black were staples, often made from quality wool or cashmere.

Bringing this look to the present, 2Men offers an impressive collection of suits, including creations by Cesare Attolini and Kiton. These suits maintain the classic tailoring of the '50s but are adapted for the modern silhouette.

The Overcoat - A Symbol of Elegance

Overcoats were a symbol of elegance and status in the 1950s. They were long, well-fitted, and made from heavy fabrics like wool and cashmere to provide warmth and style. The overcoat collection at 2Men reflects these qualities, offering timeless pieces that exude class and sophistication.

Cotton Shirts and Polos - The Casual Revolution

While suits dominated, the '50s also saw the rise of more casual styles. Cotton shirts and polos became popular, especially among the younger crowd. These were often paired with wool trousers or jeans for a casual yet put-together look. Today, 2Men's shirt collection and polo shirts offer a modern twist to these classics.

How to Incorporate 1950s Style into Modern Wardrobe

The Suit: A Modern Classic

Start with a well-fitted suit. Look for a modern cut that flatters your body type while echoing the sharp tailoring of the '50s. The suit should be versatile, suitable for both office wear and social events.

The Overcoat: Timeless Outerwear

An elegant overcoat is a must-have. It pairs well with suits for formal occasions and can also elevate a casual outfit. Look for quality fabrics like wool or cashmere that offer both warmth and style.

Shirts and Polos: Casual Yet Refined

For a casual look, opt for cotton shirts or polos. These can be paired with trousers or jeans for a relaxed yet refined style. The key is to choose high-quality fabrics and ensure a good fit.

Conclusion

The 1950s fashion was all about elegance, sophistication, and attention to detail. By incorporating elements of this era into your wardrobe with a modern twist, you can achieve a timeless look that never goes out of style. Visit 2Men to explore a curated selection of luxury Italian fashion that perfectly blends the classic with the contemporary.
