Mitchum

Clothing of the 1940′s was set by the film industry.  During the 40′s, the Fedora Hat became extremely popular, most from the movie Casablanca.  Also during this time, film producers began making Film Noir movies.  These movies depicted dark clothing (such as dark suites and an overcoat), along with a fedora hat. The tuxedo began to fade, while the suit and skinny ties began to become more popular.  Smoking was also becoming popular, so popular that even physicians began recommending smoking.  Below is a picture of Robert Mitchum, who was one of the classic film noir actors.

As you can see, the clothing was dark.  Even females wore very dark colored clothing to depict a time of uncertainty during the war.  After the war people began to start relaxing on dress codes, some people could even be seen just wearing a plain t-shirt!  From this decade and forward, the dress code would began to slack decade by decade.
