1920's Fashion for women characterized the free spirited,  modernist era of the Roaring 

Twenties and the Jazz Age as women gained their freedom and independence. The 1920's 

Fashion trends were the shorter, low-waisted dresses and revealing  styles worn by the 

Flappers, the 'bobbed' hairstyles, cloche hats, the casual, haphazard fashion of a mixture of 

brightly colored clothes, scarves and stockings with bold, striking Art Deco geometric 

designs of the era. Another 1920's fashion trend were clothes that provided freedom of 

movement with looser fitting clothes and defined by the adoption of the chemise or 

camisole, the a loose-fitting undergarment which replaced the confining,  tight fitting corsets 

of the Victorian era.

raccoon fur coats, fedora hats, suspenders, bow ties, black patent leather shoes and spats.

waistcoats and wide-leg "Oxford Bags". Sports and leisure influenced attire like jumpers, 

jodhpurs  and knickerbockers. The famous 'Zoot Suit' was also a strong fashion statement 

for men during the Harlem Renaissance. During the 1920's men abandoned formal day 

clothes and began to wear sports clothing for the first time.
