The 1950s were scaled-back and buttoned-down. Conservative, narrow, suburban, uniform styles, in fashion as well as in life, were the norm. In the 1950s, men's suits once again became more conservative. The pants retained the cuffs and, in some cases, the pleats, but were much slimmer overall. Jackets were slim, too, with small lapels and two to four buttons. Sharkskin was a popular suit material during the 50s, along with the more traditional wools. In the late 40s-50s, Hawaiian shirts, cabana sets, and western wear became popular casual apparel. Real Hawaiian shirts (with wooden buttons) were the utmost in casual, and had an exotic flair.
