A zoot suit is a type of men's suit that was popular in the 1940s. It is characterized by its exaggerated, oversized silhouette, with wide-legged pants and a long jacket with wide lapels. The zoot suit was associated with African American and Hispanic youth subcultures in the United States, and it was often worn as a form of rebellion against mainstream fashion norms. The zoot suit gained widespread notoriety during the Zoot Suit Riots in Los Angeles in 1943, when white servicemen clashed with young Hispanic men who were wearing the suits. The zoot suit has since become a symbol of 1940s fashion and American counterculture.
