Pachuca Style is not just a "Style"
One great resource to add to this article will be Catherine Ramirez’ “Black Skirts, Dark Slacks, and Brown Knees: Pachuca Style and Spectacle during World War II” in The Woman in the Zoot Suit: Gender, Nationalism, and the Cultural Politics of Memory. In this reading Ramirez mentions the whole purpose of the zoot suits and the meaning behind this “style”. It also mentions how Mexican-Americans wanted to climb a social class using this expensive and excessive fabrics to show people that they had a job that provided money that could afford this type of luxury. It wasn’t much of a style or an aesthetic, but it was more of a social issue that these immigrants went through.
