Two men walking along Sutton High Street
A candid snapshot of two men walking along Sutton High Street, c. 1932. In the 1930s, menswear became more informal than previous decades had allowed. Both these men are wearing lounge suits complete with waistcoats and wide trousers, fashionably turned up at the hem. The morning suit was reserved for the most formal occasions, and the bowler hat for business. Flat caps and trilby hats, as shown here, were common for street wear and leisure.
