1945 Men's Fashion Due to WW2, early men's fashion in the 40's was simple and plain. Most fabrics had to be used for war uniforms, and most men were out fighting the war, so complex designs were unnecessary. The men who stayed home during the war wore simple, plain suits. After the war ended, with a new influx of resources, there was a fashion boom. More fancy patterns were used for clothing, and designs such as the 'Hawaiian shirt' became more prominent. A contrast from the simple, plain suits men were made to wear only a few years prior.
