I do like the high waist on those trousers. Wish that would come back into style.

Do people actually wear such things?I hope not. With the current emphasis on slim fit - imagine slim fit high waisted pants.
Yikes! They actually exist.
Those pants have got to be nut busters when you sit down.

Good Lawd, I hope not! LOL.Do people actually wear such things?
Before our times, but not much, kids used to carry books in a leather strap, and until the 70s, yellow diamond shaped street signs forewarning of a school or a crossing carried the silhouette of a boy and girl, pig tails on the girl, books with the strap dangling on the guy. (Will try to seen if I can find an internet pic of this, to bolster my drooling memory.)... that’s an astute observation about the girl way and the boy way of carrying textbooks. In the late 60s, students didn’t use backpacks. If a kid had to carry a few thick books to and from school, too bad. My 9th-grade world history book was a beast.
What a great illustration. Apologies to Margaret Atwood, but it brings a whole new meaning to the term "a handmaids tale!" LOL.Looks '20s to me, but a neat illustration. Note the 3/2 roll with the bottom button buttoned.

Ever since @Flanderian created his long-running "Esquire" thread, I've been interested in the way different illustrators "capture" the details of clothing. For example, in this illustration, the shirt collar and tie knot are almost undefined, but that technique works beautifully here.What a great illustration.

If my guess is right about it being the 1920s, then spats makes sense as they were quite common. I see them in movies up through the '50s, but much more common in the '20s and '30s. They were dying off by the '40s and '50s.Migawd, he's wearing spats!
The illustrations give rise to much thought as one studies them and the article provides rather interesting background details, allowing a quick glimpse into the mind of the artist. Your post did more to wake me up and get me thinking, this AM than did a pot of coffee! Thank you.From the "Ivy Style" website:

For the most part your assessment of the age of the illustration is spot-on, but the ties of both gentlemen seem out of place...they do not appear vintage! Just a thought.Looks '20s to me, neat illustration.

An illustration of a gentleman, perfectly dressed to go out and take on the world! There isn't much detail to work with, but I would like to think those kicks are blue suede.View attachment 49560
Note the shoes - look like blue suede or maybe canvas.
