What is a good outfit (woman) that goes with a vintage Tweed Suitcase?

I was given a free 1930s/40s tweed suitcase and I would love to do a vintage photoshoot with a friend. She wants to check thrift stores for some fun vintage outfits.

What are some good outfits that would go with this suitcase? I am sure a good black dress would be great, but what else?

The war years. I believe some women’s fashion was inspired by military uniforms. There may be some historic fashion web sites.
