I recently found the Library of Congress' flickr account. It's full of great photos from the depression era.
The men in these photos all had it tough. Not, I-don't-have-health-care tough, but, I-might-not-have-a-place-to-sleep tough. Living through that is something to respect.
These guys are wearing clothes that work for them, not out of vanity but out of necessity. I also imagine that they tried to make what they wore reflect their personality - in short, I think it's clear these guys have style.
This gentleman was a migratory farmer in New Mexico. Today, the only place you'd see blue and white stripes on a shirt is in an office. I see a lot of bankers wearing them.
My point is, this guy worked in the field day after day, but he looked damn good doing it. And that's also something to respect.
