The Roaring Twenties were a golden era of fashion. WWI left women desiring a simple, comfortable lifestyle and a fashion style that reflected the new modern age, where young women outnumbered the older Edwardian generation. 1920s fashion was made for by the young and free spirited youth who discarded their corsets and showed off their jazz dancing legs. A woman’s long hair, what had been for centuries her pride and joy, was now meeting cutting shears for the first time. The new look was the bob cut. Short, ear length curly hair in the early years gave way to smooth finger waved styles by 1930. Authentic: A pair of reproduction 1920s trousers will be your best option. Have them hemmed and tailored locally.

Wide Leg: Wide leg dress pants can be found at MensUSA and MensItaly. They are starting to come into the mainstream but are often pleated at the waist. Tips for your pants: Get a pair of high waisted pants and you are half way to a 1920s look. Have a tailor sew on buttons and cuff your trousers for the most accuracy.Most ’20s hairstyles were styled to be short and close to the head so a cloche hat could fit snugly over it. Women without natural curl turned to marcel waving, water waving, and wave clips to achieve the desired 1920s hairstyle. Most women became frequent visitors to men’s barbers and the new women’s salons that exploded during this decade.
