1920s Women Clothing Style That Gave Birth To Modern Fashion
Grim ordeals dominated the first half of the 20th century, but in between World Wars, there was this short period of prosperity and social innovation. The generation of the Roaring Twenties (1920s) laid the foundations to modern society, changing industry and social structures while also impacting less mentioned fields, such as fashion.
The wind of change was in the air, and people began to get rid of their conservative and restricting clothing style, giving it character and encouraging a much-needed diversity. Women started to wear short skirts and trousers and men’s suits were redesigned to the ones we now call the classic men’s suits, which haven’t changed much since the 1920s.
This notion of individual self-expression picked up and survived even through the turbulent times of the Second World War, paving the road for what we wear today. How’s that for a fashion statement?
