World War I was the END of These Menswear Fashions!

Here are just a few men's fashions that were ended by "The War to End All Wars!"

Frock Coats were still relatively common prior to World War I, especially among certain professions and as formal attire, but they almost entirely disappeared after it, replaced by morning or evening tailcoats for formal occasions and day suits for business wear.

Meanwhile, while top hats were still worn with formal attire, they essentially vanished as conventional daywear.

Wing collars suffered a similar fate and were relegated almost exclusively to formal evening attire, outside of certain professional occupations like notaries and bankers who kept the trend alive a little longer.

Day suits, which before the war could feature cutaway fronts, evolved closed fronts and essentially developed into modern day suits.

Because of concerns that a gas mask could not fit securely over facial hair, many men stopped wearing full beards; the United States Military even mandated that all servicemen be clean-shaven. Returning home, they turned in their guns but held on to their razors, and it took almost a century for full beards to come back into style.

World War 1 gas masks (at least the British, American, and French versions) were not made to seal against the face, so facial hair didn't affect them. The masks had a mouthpiece like a modern snorkel mouthpiece that fit into the soldier's mouth, so sealing the gasmask tightly against the face wasn't necessary. In fact, the U.S. Army mandated soldiers be clean shaven before the U.S. entered the war, so the masks had nothing to do with it.

The only profession where beards continued into the 20's was doctors - and some clergy wore slight sidewhiskers

I wish frock coats would come back into fashion. They're just so elegant

Alexander the Great was the first to oblige his soldiers to shave, so that the enemy could not use their beard to grab them during battle!

If you note throughout history, fashions tend to radically change after a war.

Also wrist watches were more of a women's watch until WWI when you had to check your time quick enough. Then the pocket watch slowly fell into scarcity after that.

Another thing that ended was use of pocket watches other than by railway workers. Wristwatches became staples of men's jewelry after WW1. Prior to WW1, wristwatches were considered women's jewelry.

It's a shame that wing collars are only associated with evening attire now. I prefer them to other detachable collars because of how much easier it is to get a tie on in them.

Is the modern wool overcoat a relative of the frock coat? For some reason, when I received my first white collar pay cheque at 23 this was my first fashion purchase. I think always associated this item with respectability. I recall my surprise (having still been a filthy unwashed student 6 months earlier) when the lady behind the counter at Subway called me ‘Sir’ 😄

I feel like frock coats should have stayed at least for a little longer. Definitely prefer the look of them to the other variants.
