EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of mens fashion on the French Riviera in 1934, as depicted in this evocative photograph. The dapper gentleman in the image wears a short-sleeve double-breasted shirt, the epitome of summer elegance. The shirt's crisp, clean lines and subtle texture perfectly complement the baggy, loose linen trousers he dons. This outfit, a staple of Riviera style in the 1930s, exudes a sense of effortless sophistication. Notably, this ensemble was not limited to daytime wear. As Fonthill Beckford noted in his article on mens fashions on the Riviera during this era, this style was frequently seen in the glamorous nightclubs that lined the coast. The gentleman's sandals, a practical choice for the warm Mediterranean climate, complete the look. The 1930s on the French Riviera were a time of glamour and indulgence, and this photograph captures the essence of the fashionable men who vacationed there. The thirties marked a departure from the more formal, restrictive clothing of the previous decade, with a shift towards lighter, more breathable fabrics and a focus on comfort and ease. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Riviera and the timeless appeal of its distinctive fashion. Join us on a journey back in time and immerse yourself in the world of mens fashion on the French Riviera in 1934.
