The 1920’s fashion for women was all about getting loose and having fun. The designs of their dresses were sleeveless, shapeless, long or short slip gowns accented with beading, sequins, fringe, and some feathers as opposed to their long modest dresses. Dresses were adorned with lavish accessories such as a diamond tiaras or headbands, silk shawls, feather fans, long pearl necklaces, and gold arm bangles.While the ladies loosened up in their dress code, men opted for more comfortable dinner jackets (tuxedos) instead of their usual tailcoats. Many men abandoned formal attire all-together and embraced the colorful life of striped suits, flashy neckties, homburg hats, and gold capped walking sticks.
