A Serendipity Roaring Twenties

What to Wear

1920’s fashion was all about revolution and breaking the mold of Victorian ideals and into free-spirited casual wear.

For women this included a looser style of clothing which revealed more of the arms and legs. Women who chose this lifestyle were labeled flappers, they were the epitome of rebellion which included wearing excessive makeup, bobbing their hair, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes in public, and pushing social morals.

The staple fashion piece for men was the suit with no casual clothing anywhere to be found. As the 20s started to progress the typical suit style began to shift and casual and sporty dress for men was introduced. Men’s clothing as well started to encompass more choice and more fashion forward options.
