1920's



The 1920's is the decade which enetred the modern era.

After world war 1, where women first abandond the restricted clothing and started to wear more fashionable and comfortable clothing such as; Short skirts, shorts & trousers. However men also abandond formal wear and began to wear more athletic clothing.

Eventually women were able to stay in the workforce and had the right to vote, fashion trends and became more accessible, masculine and practical. After the dust settled from world war one expensive materials were being produced alot more, such as silk, wool and cotton, these were all known as the luxerious fabrics during the 1920's.

Before the 1920s, women usually strove to look older than their age. The change in outlook that distinguished the 1920s changed this, and for the first time, that previous norm reversed. Women now strove to maintain the look of youth, copying the look of younger women and young teens. While the beginning of the century saw women attempting to achieve a curvy S-shaped body with large breasts, wide hips, and large bottom, women now were trying to hide their curves to achieve a thin, smaller breasted, and straighter figure that was characteristic of just-pubescent girls. The look that women strove for would be felt for decades later, becoming the stereotypical super-model figure of the present.

This was the decade where everything changed, where it would be with fashion or with how people mentally and emotionally appeared, after the war it was noticed that fashion became more fashionable than every before and tried to show how imporant trends were and how much they have an impact on someones life.
