After the World War II, 1940s emerged as a dramatic shift to style and elegance especially in men's fashion. This was the most innovative and vital decade as far as men's' fashion and style is concerned. Many people and designers consider this decade as a great achievement in men's' wear. In this article, I will briefly discuss an overview of all designs and styles that were used in that specific period. In early 1940s, strict rules and measures were adopted in clothing. Designers and manufacturers had great challenges especially in United States and United Kingdom. People prefer simple textures and clothing that is functional. They do not use ornamented and decorative dresses because of rising disturbances of war and psychological pressures. People were more concerned about social and political issues rather than ordinary ones like clothing. So, people go for functionality rather than style. In early 1940s, fashion for men had transformed completely. Natural fibers were considered and reserved for military uniforms. Strong, durable and practical clothing was used by ordinary people. That was the time when simple clothing without vests, cuffs and pockets was first introduced to preserve natural material. However, after the disturbances of war, fashion modified once again. So, in mid of 1940s, more stylish outfits were designed by manufacturers. Double breasted shirts, long jackets and wide trousers became the part of fashion. Cedars, peach, blue and grey were the most often used colors in various outfits. Neckties were also designed in vibrant colors accordingly. This was the first time when men accessories gained great popularity. Hats, shoes, neckties, cufflinks, belts and watches gained considerable popularity and fame. Shoes made of black leather also achieved great fame. Although the period of 1940s was great set back and desperate but no doubt men's fashion at that specific era became more popular and excited.
