FAQ About The Cultural Influence of Zoot Suit Fashion

Zoot Suit fashion refers to a style of clothing that became popular in the United States during the late 1930s and early 1940s. It was characterized by high-waisted, wide-legged pants, and a long coat with wide lapels and padded shoulders. The style was often completed with a wide-brimmed hat and a long watch chain. Zoot Suits were particularly associated with African American, Mexican American, and Italian American communities. They represented a bold expression of identity and defiance against mainstream norms.
