WHAT'S OLD IS NEW
Take a look inside your closet. The clothes there reflect your personality, taste, and style. They also reflect the trends of today. But look closer. You likely have separate pieces that you pair together, such as sweaters and skirts. You probably have a T-shirt with a funny picture or saying on it. Maybe you have makeup and headbands on your dresser. All those styles and accessories aren’t modern inventions. You’ll have to go all the way back to the 1920s and 1930s to find the inspiration for many styles you wear today.
Women’s clothing underwent a revolution in the ‘20s and ‘30s. For the first time in history, women showed their legs and bare arms. They began to imitate the styles of movie stars and sports figures. And women’s clothing got freer!
The styles of these decades left a lasting impression on fashion. Everyone recognizes the fringed, low-waisted flapper dresses of the ‘20s. The poised look of the 1930s’ high-waisted sailor pant is still worn today. You can’t deny that the looks are timeless. And that’s why we still love to wear them
You can bring even more of these iconic styles into your look. With a little bling and some style know-how, you can become a '20s and '30s fashionista. Retro fashion is new fashion!

GOOD-BYE CORSETS,
HELLO
LEGS!
The Roaring Twenties were a time of wild excess. The music was loud, and the dances were shocking. Young women wore shorter dresses and hairstyles than ever before. Some people called the fashions scandalous
Wild dances such as the Charleston swept across the United States. These new dances required clothes that allowed dancers’ arms and legs to move freely. If you had to sum up 1920s style in one word, it would be legs. Hems rose as high as the knees for the first time in modern history. Short dresses even replaced long dresses for fancy evening wear. Legs that had long been covered by full skirts were now everywhere.
Major law changes during this decade gave people both freedom and restriction. In August 1920 Congress passed the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote. This new freedom was a sign of the changing times. Women wouldn’t be held back any longer. The loose, relaxed styles were just one outward sign of this new attitude.
