Roarin' Twenties

The 20’s. One of the most well-known eras in American history. Not only is it known for it’s glamorous fashion, but also for it’s grandeur parties, the boom of the Stock Market, and the fantastical feel of everyday life.

The 20’s have always been one of, if not, my favorite time periods. The glitz and glamour of everyday life has always fascinated me. The fashion during this time makes me wish that it was still around today.

With the idea of freedom sprouting in women’s minds, fashion evolved into an array of fringe, short skirts, sequins, and high heels. Women began to speak through fashion. After centuries of high necked dresses with long ballgowns that weighed on their chests, women finally broke free in the twenties.

Some classic examples of 20’s fashion are, of course, the flappers. With their flouncy dresses, feather hair accessories, and pearl strands, they remain some of the sexiest, daring women alive.

 

Flappers helped pave the road for women’s fashion. They were known for shorter skirts, shorter hair, more makeup, and higher shoes. Flappers helped break through the walls of feminism and create a new attitude toward themselves.

Flappers are not the only ones to help recreate fashion during this period. Below are some iconic fashion designers the helped recreate fashion during the twenties.

Coco Chanel. Need I say more? She helped design a more comfortable, less restricting silhouette for women.

Marlene Dietrich was a German-American actress that helped redefine fashion for women. She defied the idea of femininity and beauty.  

I posted this because not only do I adore the twenties, but tonight, I will be attending a murder mystery birthday party. It’s supposed to be set in New York in the 1920’s. I have been assigned the role of Margie Gorman and she is Miss America. :) SO excited for this party!

On my Polyvore, I have posted a few outfits that you can wear everyday to incorporate a bit of 1920’s into it!

Lots of love,
