In the 1920s, women shed the long, restrictive garments of the decade before and embraced more boyish looks. They bobbed their hair and wore short, loose dresses and crazy patterned stockings. Prohibition may have outlawed alcohol, but that did not stop people from having a good time. Jazz, the Charleston, and speakeasies were all the rage. Read about the fashions, fads, pop culture icons, and world events of the 1920s.

Quotes

    The cloche hat also had its own secret code. Pay attention to the styles with ribbons. If there was a bow, it meant the wearer was single
  • Stašahas quoted2 years ago
    Short hairstyles for women may not seem new to you. But back then, women’s salons did not even know how to cut hair short. So women would go to men’s barbershops. The cut was called a “bob,” probably because it was a word used when cutting a horsetail short. Barbers would “bob” women’s long hair in a similar way.

  • Stašahas quoted2 years ago
    Women wore their hair long for centuries. But there was a sense of freedom in the air. World War I had ended. Some women had already cut their hair short, starting back in 1915. More and more women would do so in the 1920s, encouraged by role models in society
