Bags Bashful Checkerboard Flat Girlfriend Joke Lover Oxford Sits Trouser Voluminous Smitten
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph, taken in the late 1920s, captures a playful moment between a man and his bashful girlfriend. The voluminous trouser style popular during this era, often referred to as the Oxford Bag look, is humorously depicted in this image as the girlfriend sits timidly on her boyfriend's oversized Oxford bags instead of on his lap. The man, with a flat cap and checkerboard patterned Oxford shirt, looks amused at his girlfriend's coy behavior. She, with a demure expression, appears both smitten and shy, adding to the sweetness of the scene. The Oxford bags, with their distinctive design and large size, were a fashion statement of the time and provided an unexpected prop for this lighthearted joke. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of fashion trends and social norms during the 1920s.
