Dress Reform Dance. Mr. Ernest Thesiger and Mr. Wallace Wood
Dress Reform Dance. Mr. Ernest Thesiger and Mr. Wallace Wood. So far the Mens Dress Reform Society has failed to make a noticeable impression on the man in the street. However, its members are always optimistic, and at their dance last week they showed some very original models. Smart simplicity was also the keynote of Mr. Ernest Thesigers exquisitely cut three-piece. Date: 1933

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1933, we find two distinguished gentlemen, Mr. Ernest Thesiger and Mr. Wallace Wood, participating in the Dress Reform Dance hosted by the Mens Dress Reform Society. The society, which had yet to make a significant impact on mainstream fashion trends, remained undeterred in their pursuit of promoting simpler and more comfortable clothing for men. At this particular event, the members showcased some truly original models, demonstrating the elegance and sophistication of the reformed attire. Mr. Thesiger, dressed in an exquisitely cut three-piece suit, embodies the essence of smart simplicity. His attire, featuring a slim-fitting jacket, trousers, and a vest, is a far cry from the bulky and restrictive clothing commonly worn by men during that era. Mr. Wallace Wood, on the other hand, dons a more casual reformed outfit, consisting of a shirt, trousers, and a belted tunic. Both men exude confidence and ease, proving that reformed clothing could be just as stylish and fashionable as traditional attire. The Dress Reform Dance was an opportunity for the members of the society to come together and celebrate their alternative fashion choices. Despite facing skepticism and resistance from the general public, the members remained optimistic and continued to promote their cause through events such as these. This photograph serves as a testament to their determination and vision for a more comfortable and liberated future for men's fashion.
