Male Fashion

Our male protagonist is a soldier - he only has two costumes throughout the music video - a smart suit and an army uniform. We will be trying to keep as close to the real clothing as possible, in particular the army uniform will be the hardest to achieve, as to acquire a replica of a world war 2 army uniform could be expensive, and may not be possible - but getting as close to it as we can hopefully.

Men in the 1940's were dressed smartly - often in suits, our male character comes from the city - therefore his clothing (the suit) is far more fashionable than that of men in rural areas, we feel it is more authentic looking if he is dressed in a more recognisable attire than simple rural clothes.

Examples of suits worn in the 1940's.

Hair:

For men, the typical hairstyle was short (especially for those in the armed forces) and very neat, slicked back flat on the head to portray a classic and formal look.

Examples of 1940's male hairstyle - both for everyday and in the army.
