There is something so iconic about these early 1940s wool suits.
The silhouettes are simple and flattering and the colors are chic. They're youthful and sophisticated at the same time. Kinda makes me want to go back to school and prance around campus...hhmm, is there a grad program for vintage clothing?

And I love these 1940s black suede oxfords (never worn & still in the original box) to complete the look. Get them here.

Gosh, that plaid suit is perfection. Pendleton did a few like this in the 70's, and it sure wouldn't hurt to bring them back again!
