When World War II broke out in the United States in 1941, natural fibers were only used for the military uniforms. However, among men, there were a couple of "fads" that took place in the 1940's. First is the Zoot Suit that was popular during the Jazz Age and basically worn by African-Americans and Mexican-Americans. The Zoot Suit was first introduced in Harlem, NY in the 1930's. The suit was made up of a high-waisted, baggy and low-crotched trousers with narrow ankle and over-sized jackets. The garments gave man more substance to project as well as being comfortable.
The second fad was the "Swing Scene" where some men wore the Zoot Suits while others took off their single-breasted jackets to dance and show off their accessories. Before and after the war, accessories became important. Accessories include a tie that was shorter and wider. That is because the trousers were high-cut. The tie was held in place with a clip as opposed to a pin. Shirts were held in place by good cufflinks, and suspenders that were buttoned to the trousers.
Men's shoes were basically the same as in the 1920's and 1930's as they wore wingtip, spectator shoes.
Army uniforms!!!!!
they wore suits! and what are the shoes called?
Men in the 1940s in the United States of America wore dress pants and a dress shirt to work. Men during this time wore jeans and a t-shirt outside of work.
Mostly some kind of uniform. If in 'civvies' pants were wide and turned up an inch at bottom, jackets had short wide lapels. Shoes were sturdy.

im guessing a suit or tux In truth it depends on if you are military or civilian. If you are in the military going to a military ball, most will require you to come in your dress uniform. Some will allow you to wear a tux. If you are civilian you should were a tux.
Veterans may wear their medals on civilian clothes. The link below gives you information.
