    1920s suits

    1920s suits

    depends if you only mean 'flapper' as beaded dresses and headbands. there was much more to flapper fashion, and it was more of an attitude than a specific dress code. these young ladies are all 'flappers': Louise Brooks was a flapper: as were the wearers of more 'mannish' styles:

    yes, and pinterest, tumblr, various blogs etc... for anyone looking for men's vintage clothing images /reference the internet is the place to go. on an optimistic note, the Vintage Showroom's coffee table book shows that there's still a market for a good book on menswear.
