The Electrical Engineering department of Washington University has class photos from 1937 to 1950, that provide an outstanding study of everyday US menswear.

Just enjoy all the details:

Did anyone else catch the sports jacket over the crew neck shirt?

Yes, they obviously were a very relaxed bunch over at Electrical Engineering. Also lots of grubby chinos with sport coats.

1942 has an Hawaii-shirt tucked in heavy wool trousers with sweater.
