EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1934, two stylish outfits are showcased, perfect for a summer cruise. On the right, a natural shantung silk cruising suit is displayed, featuring pale blue revers and buttons. The elegant suit, with its relaxed and comfortable silhouette, was designed for the warm weather and long days spent aboard a luxurious ocean liner. Meanwhile, on the left, a plaid taffeta suntop catches the eye. This versatile top is worn in conjunction with man-tailored flannel shorts, creating a chic and fashionable ensemble. The plaid pattern adds a playful touch, while the shorts provide a practical solution for the sunny deck. Both outfits are accessorized with all-wooden sandals, featuring hinged soles, which were essential for navigating the deck of a ship. The combination of these outfits and footwear exudes a sense of glamour and sophistication, transporting us back to the golden age of summer cruises in the 1930s. This photograph, taken in 1934, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of cruising during this era. The natural beauty of the silk and the vibrant plaid taffeta, combined with the classic design of the man-tailored shorts and sandals, make for a timeless and elegant look. Whether aboard a grand ocean liner or simply dreaming of a summer voyage, these outfits capture the spirit of adventure and relaxation that comes with a cruise.
