Cambridge Graduates
Two sharply dressed young men stride confidently down a misty Cambridge street in 1926, showcasing the elegance and boldness of interwar British fashion. Their plus fours—a popular style of baggy knickerbockers ending just below the knee—paired with tailored jackets, crisp shirts, ties, and stylish hats, reveal the sophisticated yet relaxed sartorial spirit of the time.
This was the Jazz Age at Cambridge: a period of academic rigor and social revolution, where tradition met modernity. These graduates embody the charm of post-World War I youth—men shaped by ancient institutions but looking ahead to a rapidly changing world.
Captured in a candid moment of friendship and style, this photograph not only reflects a fashion trend, but also the distinct confidence of a generation finding its voice between two world wars.
