 FASHION ICON

Gabrielle 'Coco'
Chanel
His style was characterized by the
simplicity that characterized her.
Thanks to her, we know what today
is the 'Little Black Dress', and the
casual chic concept to wear.
Chanel dedicated his life to free
women from corsets, bringing
women's pants and button-up
shirts to the fashion world.
 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 heels
● 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

gemstones

cigarette cases
 HOUSE DRESSES
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 but for
the very poor people, a cotton
housedress was the only outfit for
the day.
 STREET WEAR,
OUTING CLOTHES
Woman Clothing was still
simple but of a higher quality
than cotton prints. A walking
suit (skirt, blouse and
sweater) paired with a sturdy
pair of mid-heel Oxfords, Mary
Jane, or T-Strap shoes is the
most utilitarian of street dress.
CHURCH CLOTHING

The women were wearing

modest simple, non-
distracting clothing with
long sleeves and a below
the knee hemline. If a
sleeveless dress was worn a
light shawl, wrap or jacket.
Women were required to
wear a hat, gloves and
matching purse.
AFTERNOON TEA
DRESSES, PARTY
DRESSES
Shoes and accessories
were more dramatic. The
shoes were of strap heels.
Stockings were sheerer
and in colors to match the
dress. Gloves were match
than the dress or be white.
A hat was elegant with
decorative cloche.
 SHOES
Women’s shoes became more delicate and
pretty because they were more visible with
short dresses. For daytime use, the low hee
lace-up oxford shoe in brown, white or
black was worn everyday. For something a
little nicer for going out or dressing up it was
the classic mary jane heel with a single
strap across the front. They often came in
black and gold or silver hand painted designs
to really stand out on the dance floor.

haircut, the most fashionable was the Garçonne
style.

the cut was asymmetrical, longer in front than
behind, straight bangs and wave hairstyles.
