I like this outfit, from Battling Butler 1926
Do you think Denim (in the form of a pair of jeans, or a denim jacket) have any place in Golden Era revivalism? I've always associated jeans with the 1950s and the Baby Boomer generation, and jean jackets with the 1970s and Rock N' Roll. I've always felt Jeans - at least the widespread wearing of them- was a symbol of the Golden Era's ending.
But I'm curious about your opinions?
Denim was worn as work clothes through the Golden Era. It was when jeans became everyday wear in the fifties, as a protest against Golden Era values, that what we consider Golden Era style and principles began to fade away.
Go ahead and wear them for working in the garden, or with a fancy shirt to a barn dance, other than that they don't have a place in what this Lounge considers Golden Era styles.
