Step into the world of menswear through time and space. From the bustling set of the iconic "Are You Being Served" TV programme in August 1977 to a captivating portrait of Sir Edwin Sandys sporting a turned-down ruff in the late 16th century, we explore the evolution of men's fashion. Intriguingly, an advertisement for Maenson Clothes' flannel trousers from 1930 takes us back to a time when sophistication met comfort. Meanwhile, The Boston men's sock garter advert from the same year reminds us that even small accessories played a significant role in completing one's ensemble. Delving further into history, we encounter Samuel Murray captured by Thomas Eakins around 1890. This image showcases both elegance and simplicity as Murray dons his timeless attire. Fast forward to Clothing during the Reigns of Charles I and II, and James II in 1903; this glimpse into royal fashion unveils opulence intertwined with regal charm. A portrait of Samuel Sewall wearing a periwig and long coat between 1700-1720 transports us to an era where grandeur was paramount. Moving closer to modern times, Daily Mirror journalist Christopher Ward proudly exhibits contemporary trends while flaunting the latest men's clothing styles. An advertisement for Charles Baker & Co. 's Store offers insight into how shopping experiences have evolved over time. The artistic genius of Thomas Gainsborough captures Bishop Lewis Bagot dressed impeccably as he serves as inspiration for gentlemen seeking sartorial excellence during his tenure from 1740-1802. Lastly, an Austin Reed advert brings us back to more recent times with its refined tailoring options that exude confidence and class. Finally, we find ourselves at an exhibition showcasing men's clothing in Madrid—a testament to how menswear transcends borders and cultures. Menswear has come a long way since its inception—evolving alongside societal changes and personal expression.
