fashioning depression...



Right now everyone seems to be in the same boat of having not a lot of money but beginning to not lose heart over it. Those of us who have less money have the chance to stand out. The way we dress can reflect on how we are feeling inside, so why not look damn good whilst doing it.
Just have a look at what all men in the Great Depression wore. The suits, hats, shoes and ties. Everything was well put together, among all races and classes of men, there was a unity formed by dressing with pride. This isn't just because all this stuff was intrinsic to the culture. Men in all times and all places have had the option of looking ridiculously unkempt. The point is that these men were under pressure to perform, to show that they were valuable, to demonstrate on sight that they were desirable commodities as workers.
A perfect example i found was this...
