Flapper Style

Women’s fashion in 1920 was all about the flappers. These irreverent,
free-thinking women wore short skirts, short haircuts, sheer
stockings–and, most shockingly–make-up. The style of the flapper is
most often described as being youthful and boyish, as these young
women were abandoning the corsets of their mother’s generation for
straight lines and loose clothing.

Although seemingly harmless by today’s standards, women’s fashion in
1920 was controversial and seen as shocking and barbaric by
conservative men and women. Prior to the flapper movement, ladies
kept their legs covered and abstained from drinking or smoking,
especially in public. Now, young women were exercising their
independence and developing an entirely new fashion statement.
