Abstract: This essay explores the relationship between British masculinity, socioeconomic class, and male fashion across various historical periods. It highlights how social class and gender have influenced men’s clothing, noting that fashion has often focused more on women. The study uses object analysis from museums to examine historical male clothing, comparing it to women’s fashion to understand how masculinity was expressed through attire. The goal is to investigate how class and masculinity are interconnected through male fashion in different eras.
