roaring twenties

Roaring Twenties Project
In the 1920s fashion has always been influenced by the mode of transportation, the architecture of the period, and the customs of the people. Clothing developed closer relationships with art. Fashion was not so precise but yet they use elegant design with only selected fabrics. These outfits were a must in the 1920s for ladies fashion. Accessories such as hats, shoes, stockings, handbags, dresses and jewelry came together to make an eye catching stare from the audience of people looking at the elegant outfit. At the end of the First World War aka “roaring twenties” changed woman’s fashions dramatically. Dresses in the 1920s were brighter and lighter and most of all shorter. Dresses of the past were just that, the past. Fashions designers worked with different fabric colors, textures and patterns to invent brand new styles of dresses. Woman’s underwear has changed subsequently as well. With corsets became smaller and more flexible, and bras were being introduced during the 1920s.
Fashions for men in the 1920 were influenced greatly by prominent figures and idolized men’s of the era. A man by name of Red Grange and the Four Horsemen of Norte Dame influenced the style of coats like the raccoon coat and the camal hair polo coat. It wasn’t just sports heros that made men fashion so much better, but also by the world famous aviator. Leather jackets made people go crazy over this style of jacket. The very normal and popular attire for a working man was the suit. The suit was worn by the famous and the infamous as well as the rich and the poor. The fashion in roaring twenties have come a long way for both male and female.
