The Roaring Twenties were a time of economic prosperity, Prohibition, flapper girls, and iconic fashion trends.
For women, skirts were all the rage. Midi-length with a drop waist, beaded decor, and a pair of sling-back kitten heels would be a trendy outfit. Accessories like headbands, hear wraps, and cloche hats would tie the look together.
Men wore a lot of newsboy caps, button up vests under suit jackets, and pinstripe, pinstripe, pinstripe. Top that with a pair of leather brogues to complete the outfit.
The looks from the 1920s have come back in style many times. The looks are elegant, timeless, and flattering, which is probably why they have made their way back into the style zeitgeist multiple times over the years.
It was one of the most fun decades for fashion. Let’s take a look at these iconic styles.
