In the 1930s there was a parallel emphasis on the slimness and flatness of the hips, accentuated by the width of the shoulders. The cut of the male jacket became increasingly boxy in shape, accentuated by shoulder padding, wide lapels and the double-breasted fastening which was particularly fashionable. Trousers legs corresponded in shape by being cut wide with turn-ups at the hem. Knitted waistcoats, sleeveless pullovers and sweaters were popular informal wear.
