    I'm looking for some advice.

    I'm attending a 1940's style 40th borthday party this weekend. As per usual (and as my username suggests) i've done nothing about it.

    Can anyone offer some easy to do tips on how to come up with some sort of outfit which might work.

    I did find this which might work with the weatrher we're having at the moment...
    Look Three: Post-War Casual

    The Hawaiian shirt was something of a casual style staple in the late 1940’s, it was reflective of the fun and relaxed attitude men had once the war was over. This kind of look can be easily worked into today’s trends because printed shirts are making something of a comeback. A good Hawaiian influenced printed shirt is the basis for this look, pair it with some simple shorts and boat shoes and your look is done. The choice of adding a bow tie, hat or a watch is completely optional and down to your own personal taste.

    Think WWII serviceman on a day off. High waisted trousers, waistcoats, slicked hair, argyle tank tops, fedora or flat cap, check shirts, chinos.

    Or you could suit up and go the full Clark Gable. Or look to 40s Frank Sinatra for inspiration:

    I'm assuming though that you want to go casual; the problem with the outfit you've selected is that you'd see that walking down Grafton Street on a sunny day; there's nothing overly "40s" about it.
