1920s Fashion

Fashion Takes a Turn!

The war is over and people are celebrating. The most noticeable changes are being made in women's fashion. Gone are the days when women are being laced up tight and buttoned into dresses that cover them from their necks to their feet with absolutely no skin showing. The new fashion is lowered waistlines, higher hemlines, and bare knees for all to see! The girls who are making this style popular are called Flappers. These girls smoke using long cigarette holders, wear makeup, and fix makeup in pubic. This is revolutionary! The Flappers are also bringing in a brand new style to fit this crazy time. The dresses are less fashioned to fit the body like dresses from our parents time and more tubular. Designers are not afraid to use bold colors and prints to help these brave women stand out and make a statement. As all girls know, no outfit is complete with out matching shoes. Since these new dresses are showing of a lot of leg, much more thought and consideration is being paid to stocking and shoes. Silk stockings are being made in all colors of the rainbow, and shoes are being made to match. These items are quickly becoming staples in every womens closet. There are also new hats that complement the new bob hairstyle that all the fashionable women are now sporting. For the more sporty women, aviator styles are all the rage, from sunglasses and scarfs to leather helmets with ear flaps and leather jackets. As CoCo Chanel told me in an impromptu interview, "the new styles are inspired by art that is becoming more and more popular, and what goes great with fun dresses, Chanel No. 5". Yes, CoCo, every women and most men know that it smells great. As for men-sorry guys, suites are never going to go out of style. The only thing that might are your hats.
