According to the fashion editor of Truth (12 November 1939):
You simply dare not be less carefully turned out for the beach than you are for the afternoon party or the cocktail hour … Slacks now! Though they must give the essentially tailored look … shorts have been so long the orthodox wear for the seaside that it would be impossible for the fashion experts to ring the changes very much where they are concerned.
