Flapper Fashion
The end of the First World War brought about a general feeling of giddy glee and 1920's fashion reflected the dawning of a new age. A new era of prosperity saw people wearing more comfortable clothes than ever before. The flapper influence is making another round of appearances on fashion runaways, so take cue from 1920's fashion and get ready to update your wardrobe! The early part of the 1920's fashion was conservative. But as the length of skirts moved upward, the waistline dropped. Comfort became more important as the roles of women changed from wife and mother with no political voice to women in the workforce with the right vote. Sportswear took roaring 1920's fashion by storm, women wore pants for the first time and tubular dresses became all the rage. Fashion designers played with various fabrics, but overall brighter colors and playful prints came into vogue as if they were shrugging off the dark years of the war. No more bustles and right-fitting corsets that left little breathing room. Bras were worm, making women feel lighter and less inhibited.
1920's Fashion Trends



The fashionistas of the 1920's were known as flappers. These forward-thinking young women took 1920's fashion trends and made them their own. Flappers smoked and drank without blinking an eye. This look was straight in the back with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and the entire style sleek and straight. Feather boas, strands of long beads knotted at the cleavage and belts around coats revealed 1920's fashion trends embraced by women.

1920's Make-Up




Out came the compact and peering into the mirror, ladies would pat powder on their faces. Next, they would carefully outline and fill in their lips with a deep red color. The eyes of a flapper were dark and smoky framed by finely plucked eyebrows. For the face, the eyebrow was lined in black or brown eyeliner sloping down just past the corner of the eye. Red, brownish reds, plum and orange lipstick were the lip colors of the mid-1920's.
1920's Accessories


Strappy shoes made their first appearance during the 1920's. T-strap shoes and little peek-a-boo heels added the finishing touch to the fringed dresses of the era. Embellishments such as buckles, bows and sequins adorned heels over two inches high. Pointed toes were in style then, just as they are now. The cloche hat fit snugly on the head framing the face and nearly covering the eyes. Brimmed hats became stylish towards the end of the decade. Worn as a casual accessory, hats made of straw were seen at the beach. Silk stockings became an important accessory once hems went up. Revealing the legs meant making them look great and women fell in love with silk stockings help up with garters. Bridal Shoes
1920's Men's Attire




Comfort became a primary source of fashion. Jacket lapels were narrow and pants straight - never tapered or worm at a shorter length. The mid-1920's brought about "oxford bags", which were stylish baggy pants. Sportswear consisted of sweaters and knickers.
Flapper Fashion Comeback
Everything that goes around comes around, and fashion is notorious for looping around and around. Flapper fashion is back in vogue. The dresses are chic, flapper, tubular styles, sleeveless and adroned with beads and fringe. Casual wear that harks back to 1920's fashion comes from the tennis court. long shorts paired with tennis-type sweaters create the look of fresh and sporty.

The flapper trend for the new millennium can be soft with curls framing the face and feminine camisoles paired with ruffled skirts. The flip side of the coin is the edgy flapper look with the bob haircut and the androgynous look of pants and jackets.

- I like the idea of some of these great fashions making a comeback but really feel there are just not enough people who take care and can pull it off these days. They might do it for a special occasion but these woman dressed with class anytime they were out in public! I love the "T-strap shoes and little peek-a-boo heels" as you so delightfully described them and am a sucker for the neat hats these women wore. Oh these were the days..... thanks for sharing and all the wonderful pictures.
