Answer 1

From the 1920s through the 1960s men’s clothing was mostly about suits, neat lines, and hats. Tailored suits with clean cuts, narrow ties (later wider), and fedoras made men look put-together and serious. This style gave the time a formal, respectable personality — people dressed to show status, discipline, and order. Highlight 1 — tailoring and hats: well-cut suits and hats made men appear professional and unified, so society felt more structured and polite.

From the 1970s to today clothes became much more casual and varied, with jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, leather jackets, and later athletic wear and streetwear taking center stage. Fashion followed music, sports, and youth culture, so clothes became a way to show personality and comfort instead of just status. Highlight 2 — jeans and sneakers: denim and trainers moved from workwear to everyday style, creating a relaxed, individual, and practical personality for modern times. Today you see mixes of both worlds — casual pieces with occasional tailored items — which makes the overall style flexible and personal.
