During the 1920's or what we call the Roaring Twenties womens fashion played an important role.
The image of women was described as a flapper. These women wore skirts or dresses shorter than average, had short hair, wore mass amounts of make-up, and smoked ciggarettes. They also spent their nights partying and dancing.

Like today, our teens are dressing and acting the same way. The teenage girls nowadays are wearing short skirts and shorts, mass amounts of make-up, and smoking. Of course the partying and dancing is added to it. Both then and now it was all a way to get a mans attention. Even today some of these 1920's fashions are coming back . ===== These new fashion styles were much more excepted in the 1920's. It showed that society was relaxing and that people were more open to new things. Women didnt have the long skirts and shirts and covered from head to toe anymore. Women's skirts were shorter, dresses were more revealing, and these new fashions were much more excepted now. Men also excepted these fashion trends and didnt expect there women to be covered up all the time. This new flapper style was excepted and change was now excepted in the 1920's.

﻿ ﻿﻿Hair Styles :

 During this time they also wore cloche hats, which showed everyone you had short hair. The hat is pulled over the eyes and the young women﻿ would have a certain way to see where they were going as they would be out.

﻿Make-Up : Adding to the hair styles of 1920 women, is make-up. Like today, it was a big impact on the women. Women stopped going to the powder room and pulled out their compactor and put on their make-up in public. Red lipstick was worn dramatically during the 1920's. Like today make-up is a big thing and the industry is huge!

= **Faiza** = = **1920's Dresses style** = The women were dresses up lighter and brighter and where shorter dress than ever before. Fashion designers played with fabric colors, textures and patterns to create totally new styles of dress. Hemlines rose for most of the decade but dropped slightly toward the end. Shoes and stockings assumed a greater prominence now that they were more visible. Silk stockings in all the colors of the rainbow, often with patterns, were designed to match the coordinated outfits of stylish women.
