Clothes, mostly. Men word trousers, shirts and suit jackets, over jockey shorts or briefs. Women wore skirts and dresses, with blouses. (At least in 'western' culture). In western culture, nearly all men wore hats. Check out a movie from those days (if it was set in the 40's) for an example. People generally dressed more 'formally' than they do now, especially in public. Exercise wear, stretch capris, sandals, Baseball caps, etc were not seen in public (unless you were playing baseball, for the latter). Generally, women would not dream of going out of the house without makeup and jewelry, and men never wore their pants down around their asses. In some ways, modern dress has degenerated quite a bit.

In 1948, fashion trends for men included tailored suits with wide shoulders and high-waisted pants. Women's fashion featured full-skirted dresses, pencil skirts, and fitted blouses. Accessories such as hats, gloves, and stockings were also commonly worn. Overall, fashion during this time was influenced by a combination of post-war austerity and the glamour of Hollywood stars.
