The Zoot Suit 40s

A zoot suit (occasionally spelled zuit suit) is a men's suit with high-waisted, wide-legged, tight-cuffed, pegged trousers, and a long coat with wide lapels and wide padded shoulders. This style of clothing became popular among the African American, Chicano and Italian American communities during the 1940s. The zoot suit was originally associated with Afro-American musicians and their sub-culture. Anti-Mexican youth riots in Los Angeles during World War II are known as the Zoot Suit Riots.

East L.A 1945 Pachucos.
"The Woman in the Zoot Suit" is the first book focused on pachucas. She often wore a V-neck sweater or a long, broad-shouldered coat, a knee-length pleated skirt, fishnet stockings or bobby socks, platform heels or saddle shoes, dark lipstick, and a bouffant. Or she donned the same style of zoot suit that her male counterparts wore. With their striking attire, pachucos and pachucas represented a new generation of Mexican American youth, who arrived on the public scene in the 1940s.
