20’s
Also known as the ‘Era of the flapper’, when women
started to take a more tomboy approach to fashion by dropping waists on dresses
and wearing less shapely clothes. Belts, sashes or ties were worn around the
hips creating the beanpole look. Dresses also started to get a lot shorter not
everyone appreciated it at first, some thought it was shameful to show so much
leg and most dresses returned to longer lengths in the thirties.
As well as flapper dresses they wore feather headdresses. Most girls wore their hair short with long earrings.
During the day hats were
popular. These hats were called cloche hats. Cloche is French for bell and
these hats were almost bell shaped. Cloche hats covered the forehead and were
also usually worn with shorter hair styles.
Coco Chanel was one of the
most famous designers ever. Creating the ‘Little Black Dress’ and accessorizing
it with ropes and ropes of pearls.
