Culture of the 1930s
Men have a completely different fashion sense than they did in the 1930s. The suits that they wore were designed to make it look like they have a larger torso. They also had to wear shoulder pads and their sleeves were taped to their wrists at times. After the time of the new deal a new fashion sense came out called the "London Cut" This consisted of sleeves tampering from shoulder to wrist, still wearing shoulder pads, and much more. This suit can also be called the "London Drape" A popular thing that almost every man wore was a top hat and tuxedos with tails were a huge thing!
The fashion changed a lot from the 1930's up until now. In the 30s women were normally not seen outside of the house with out wearing some sort of dress. The dresses that hey had were typically long and had broad shoulders. To match their dresses, they wore different shaped hats that actually did not cover their foreheads like they normally did in the 1920s. The skirts that they wore were normally longer in the back than in the front and went down to their calves. The main fabric in the 30s was silk, even though the famous Coco Chanel introduced cotton. On several hats they either had some sort of feather sticking out of the top, or some sort of design to catch peoples attention. Women's hair style were mainly short and curly. It was also in the 1930s that the famous zipper was created!
Music has not changed much from the 1930s up until now. Jazz music is still a huge thing now and was an even bigger thing back then. A few popular songs back then that we know of today are "God Bless America" and "Over the Rainbow" It was in the time frame of the 1930s that president Hoover called the "Star Spangled Banner" our national anthem. Shirley Temple was very famous as a young child in the 1930s.
Personally, I think that the fashion from the 1930s will come back. With the music, we have most of the same music like we did back then. We are very familiar with several of the hit songs from the 1930s and are sang everyday such as the "Star Spangled Banner"
