Have you ever heard the phrase “the roaring twenties?” Also known as the Jazz Age, the decade of the 1920s featured economic prosperity and carefree living for many. The decade began with a roar and ended with a crash.

“What did women and men wear in the 1920s?” would depend on what they were doing, with whom, and at what time of day. Here you will learn about the types of clothing women and men wore for specific occasions. Something that stands out to me about vintage fashion prior to the ’60s is how often wealthy men and women changed clothing in one day. There was an outfit for every time of day, every type of outing, and every type of party. Add to that specific types of clothing for your age, class, and occupation, and you have one huge wardrobe! Each type of clothing in a 1920s closet had a certain set of guidelines as to when they were to be worn.

1920s Fashion Trends for Women.

• Below-knee length drop-waist dresses with a loose, straight fit.
• Beaded evening dresses inspired by “flappers.”
• Mary Jane or T-strap heel shoes.
• Casual sport golf knickers, argyle socks, blouse, and tie.
• Cocoon fur coats and fringe wraps.
• Cloche hats and short bobbed hairstyles.
• Bead or feather headbands for evenings.
• Long pearl necklaces, bold Art Deco colors, faux gemstones.
• Small beaded purses held pretty makeup compacts and cigarette cases.
