yeah that was bizarre
I would still dress like that today if I could afford to. I don't care how "out of style" that would look. Those suits are fly.
William Stanley Moore totally representing.
People dressed a lot more formal in those days. I'm guessing around the 60's is when people began to dress more casual and sloppy. Hippies probably. If you watch film of people in the 50's and before they dressed in suits and hats. Things were just more formal. I like that style. I like formality. Today if you tried to dress like that people would look at you like a weirdo.

These photos actually show what is actually "stylish." People still wear those suits today. They may not be fashionable but they are definitely a staple of men's style.
Those suits will still look nice 50 years from now. The trousers are the best...they're not baggy at all.

It's also too damn hot in some areas.
A time when self respect and present ability meant something, even if you were a criminal.
Now we got motherfukas in skinny jeans and bro tanks.
i bet a lot of those guys were on boardwalk empire.

Self respect is important, but is it more important than promoting conformity? People can be more expressive today (especially males) where as back then social pressures were much more rigid.

Classy:pimp:
De Gracy looks creepy though. He has those Roose Boltonesque eyes.
t-shirts made in china or mexico weren't invented yet.:lol
There was more importance on social interaction then obviously.
Today I can go days without seeing anyone (yet still be very productive, doing hw and studying on my laptop at home). Back then anything you did that was productive must have involved being in front of other people.
these are fckin awesome
thanks for posting

Conformity is a bigger part of being successful and happy in life than it is given credit for.

Depends on the path in life you've chosen. In some paths it's almost a necessity, in others it's a total hinderance. In either one, at least knowing what you are expected to conform to is critical, and you'll need at least a little bit of the other side for that.
Take a look at the way people here are posed compared to modern day mug shots. It's WAY closer to the way they'd actually look if you met them on the street.
Why is that? It's because mug shots were originally made to provide a reference for how someone would look if you saw them on the street. But they're not anymore.
There's still some show and dress-up like it's for a reference picture, with the height bars and everything, but that's not the real purpose of modern mugshots.
The real purpose of modern mugshots is to make the person in them [i]look like they're guilty[/i]. Think about that for a second.
