What was fashion like in the 1930s for men and women?

In the U.S. in the 1930s, the female form made a comeback in fashion, after a period of boyish 'flapper' looks in the 1920s - meaning a more gentile feminine look for the ladies. The look was meant to be sweet and gentile during the day, and an embracing of glamour at night.

At the same time, the Great Depression played its part in the fashion of the day, at least in the early 1930s. Women began sewing their own clothes more, since thrift was a sort of 'fashion' in itself (our of necessity).

For men, this was a new era of fashion in the sense that, whereas before, little changes were made to men's fashion over shorter amounts of time, now was an era where the industry had a new realization: The more often they change details, the more often men had to go out and buy new clothes. A sort of snob culture developed in men's fashion. The singe breasted jacket was a new look for the early part of the decade, and broad plaid was a popular style. Double breasted suits came back, along with a shorter jacket cut, in the decade's later years.
