WHCA Centennial Celebration: 1920s Fashion Ideas

Hi! Several neighbors will be dressing up in 1920s fashions next Sunday (October 8) and we encourage anyone interested to do the same. :) If you need inspiration, here are a few ideas...


For the ladies, of course Flappers are the most notable—dresses with beading and fringe, long necklaces, headbands, boas, elbow-length gloves.

Other popular trends were loose dresses with drop-waists and layered fabric, hats that fit close to the head.

Or if you’re looking for something more casual: silk pajamas, kimonos, pleated skirts, button-down blouses with wide-legged trousers.

For the men… on the dressier side: three-piece suits accessorized with pocket watches. Casual styles included smoking jackets, striped blazers, sweater vests and trousers, button-down shirts with suspenders. Hat trends were fedora, boater, newsboy, Panama.

After reading this wonderful post, I wandered down to Hollywood Toys & Costumes store and bought sring of pearl and elbow gloves.


Valentino's wife, Natacha Rambova,was quite the Roaring 20s fashion plate, too.
