In the old days, short and voluminous were good-looking pants! What were the ” plus fours ” that were a staple of golf wear back in the day?
Plusfords,” a type of knickerbockers with below-the-knee, three-quarter length pants that were a staple of 1920s golf wear, also became popular because they were adopted for golf wear and uniforms by the British Army. It is said that the coordination of plus fours with sweaters became a trend, as Edward VIII, the Prince of Wales, attracted attention for his “plus fours and fair-isle sweaters” as his everyday attire. At that time, it was common to fix the hem tabs below the knees and let them sag at the thighs to give the pants volume. Argyle socks were also popular on the feet to accentuate the look.
