It seems like all men were wearing suits in the 1920s. And while it is true that pictures were not as commonly taken as today, there is more to it than that. First of all, a suit was an excellent way to show that a man cares about his appearance and elegance. Apart from the style, it also showed class. It wasn’t common for men to have numerous suits, and most had only several in their wardrobe. However, if you were invited to a business or formal event, it was given that you will dress up in a suit.
