'What Did Women Wear in the 1920s? 1920s Fashion Trends for Women (PART 1).  To properly answer the question “What did women and men wear in the 1920s?” would depend on what they were doing, with whom, and at what time of day. Here you will learn about the types of clothing women and men wore for specific occasions. Follow the links within for even more 1920s fashion history. Something that stands out to me about vintage fashion prior to the ’60s is how often wealthy men and women changed clothing in one day. There was an outfit for every time of day, every type of outing, and every type of party. Add to that specific types of clothing for your age, class, and occupation, and you have one huge wardrobe! Each type of clothing in a 1920s closet had a certain set of guidelines as to when they were to be worn. What were the “rules” for morning dress, afternoon dress, and evenings? What about going to school or working?  First, let’s explore women’s clothing. For men’s 1920s fashion.  1920s Fashion Trends for Women. Below-knee length drop-waist dresses with a loose, straight fit. Beaded evening dresses inspired by “flappers.” Mary Jane or T-strap heel shoes. Casual sport golf knickers, argyle socks, blouse and tie. Cocoon fur coats and fringe wraps. Cloche hats and short bobbed hairstyles. Bead or feather headbands for evenings. Long pearl necklaces, bold Art Deco colors, faux gemstones. Small beaded purses held pretty makeup compacts and cigarette cases.  1920S HOUSE DRESSES. While at home in the company of just family, clothing was at its most comfortable state. The housewife wore a simple cotton dress, thick black cotton stockings, and low heel Oxfords. Dresses were colorful plaids, checks, stripes, or solid colors with pretty embroidery and trim such as lace or rick rack. Housedresses often had white collars. A woman’s apron was usually handmade. The housedresses and aprons were basic, yet durable enough for the rigors of 1920s household chores (vacuums, washers, and irons were just entering the marketplace).  For the very poor, a cotton housedress was the only outfit for the day.   WORK CLOTHING. Women in manual labor such as factory work, sewing, nursing, maids or nannies, and foodservice were required to wear specialty uniform coat/smock or apron over a cotton house frock. Girls who worked as shop assistants had to dress a little nicer, with a daytime dress or a uniform of shirtwaist dress with a white collar. Even while working at a silk mill, young women took the time to stay on the fashion trend. Here a worker in 1924 has the latest bobbed haircut and what appears to be canton silk (silk and cotton) blend dress with an embroidered waistband. For women who worked professional jobs– such as teachers, secretaries, journalists, and telephone operators– a modest day dress or skirt and blouse set was worn. A three-piece suit could also be worn.  TRAVELING CLOTHES. Traveling in the 1920s was a dirty affair. Cars were dusty, trains were hot, and buses were so packed with commuters that people were bound to be a wrinkled mess by the time they arrived at their destination. For those reasons, 1920s traveling clothes, for both men and women, were simple suits, a sturdy overcoat, a comfortable hat, leather gloves, a leather purse or luggage, and low profile shoes. Colors were neutral greys, browns, and blues that showed the least amount of dirt possible. Materials that wrinkled, like linen and cotton, were avoided and instead knit, wool, or sturdy cotton blends were preferred. If travel required an overnight stay, a woman would have packed a conservative tailored pajama or nightgown. She was sure to pack all of her own toiletries so she would not inconvenience the host!
