| Men in black wear zoot suits?What is a zoot suit? Something left over from an alien invasion? |
| Hi there Bob, so you would like to know what a zoot suit is, well here is a description of it, with high-waisted, wide-legged, tight-cuffed, pegged trousers, and a long coat with wide lapels and wide padded shoulders. This style of clothing was popularized by African Americans, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Italian Americans, and Filipino Americans during the late 1930s and 1940s. In England bright-colored zoot suits with velvet lapels that bore a slight resemblence to Edwardian clothing were worn by Teddy boys. |
