Fashioning your Way Back to the 1920’s HomeThis is a featured page

Fashion changes as time changes, but fashion never runs out of fashion. This means irrespective of how many times fashion changes itself, there will always be fashion. Folk may pass and generations may pass by, but fashion will surely last a lifetime. This is true , since in every period, era, or whatever you'll call it, there is fashion. You may not get to experience their kind of fashion, but it does not mean fashion didn't exist in the older times. And that's why, it's good to look back on the older days like the 1920's or the roaring twenties, and get a glance of their fashionable world.

First off, the decade of the 1920s saw dramatic social and business change. The prosperity and opportunity in the aftermath of World War I left many people with a positive outlook. This far-reaching perspective inspired the indulgence of many materialistic pleasures. So, the development of ladies fashion was related to this transformation. And with the passing of bustles and corsets gave clothing designers much greater liberty of expression. New and colourful fabrics echoed the joy felt by a war weary population following the end of hostilities.

Similarly, it is in this year that women wore short hairs for the 1st time, in Europe. In the U.S, the haircut called bob hairstyles was reintroduced by actress Louise Brooks in the latter 1920s. With this, the finger waves hairstyle became preferred in the roaring twenties. In fact this FINGER WAVE is the most popular 1920's hairstyles. Finger Wave hairdo is the art of shaping or molding hair while wet into's'-shaped curved undulations with the fingers and brush. These waves when dried without being disturbed will fall into beautiful deep waves.

Now when it comes to dresses, the 1920's dresses were lighter and brighter and shorter than previously. Fashion designers played with fabric colors, textures and patterns to make completely new styles of dress which were called flapper dresses.

This is perhaps why this kind of fashion ; short bobbed or shingled hair, straight loose knee-length dresses with a dropped waistline, silk or rayon stockings with garters, heavy makeup, and long beaded necklaces is stereotyped as Flapper fashion. So, the 1920's fashion is often called'the 1920's flapper fashion'.

And with this new sort of fashion, the Roaring Twenties redefined womanhood - a new lady developed. In reality, roaring twenties was thought to be the start of a new womanhood where it was more OK to smoke and drink in public, closer body contact in dancing, shorter hair, make-up, different styles of dress, and greater collaboration in the workforce.

Indeed, if you weren't aware of this fashion history, you will not know that the roaring twenties is the beginning of who you are as a woman, now. This is the beginning of the phase where you can use your creativity when it comes to dressing yourself and styling your hair. In a great way, the 1920's fashion plays a major role in the fashion and ladies of today.

So, if you'd like to relive the past by experiencing the way that the women in the 1920's dress and style their hairs, you can! It is not so hard so long as you have a guide to dressing yourself and styling your hair in a fashionably'flapper' way. The good news is you can now get your own copy of the 1920's hairdo and dresses books.
