Fashion through the ages!

Fashion Through the
Ages!
{ By: Hannah Schumacher

Fashion is a growing and changing

Throughout decades,
centuries, even daily

Trends change like the seasons
in the year

As the seasons fade so do our
fashion trends

Here’s a close look at fashion
throughout our decades

The 1920’s is when we start
seeing fashion emerging in
the modern era

This era is when both men
and women abandoned their
restricting clothing

Which is where the term the
“roaring twenties” emerged

Women wore shorter skirts
and flapper outfits

Men began to wear more
athletic attire or more casual
suits

The 30’s began a tragic time
for fashion

Fashion of the 1930’s was
greatly influenced by the
Wall Street Crash leading
into the great depression

Clothing was patched and
mended

Women were also learning how
to sew to reduce the costs of
spending on clothing

Most think of the 30’s as an
old Hollywood fashion

Hemlines were dropped to
the ankle for the women and
necklines lowered for elegant
dresses

For men most began to disgard
their undershirts to have the
chest shown

Men also started wearing
large plaids, and single
breasted jackets

In the 1940’s because of the
war we began to see fashion
move away from fabulous
dressing

The government actually asked
designers to not be wasteful and
use unnecessary amounts of
fabric on clothing

Because of the war and men
being away fashion trends
actually took a stand still

This was the time where you
saw the Iconic Rosie the
Riveter

Along with the slogan “We
can do it”

Because men were at war woman’s
clothing became much more
functional so they could work in
such clothing

After the war was over we
designers took a new spin on
clothing for women and men of
the 50’s

Woman’s clothing became much
more tight fitting and this is where
the idea of the silhouette came in
the picture

This style of dress was given
the name of the wiggle

Men in the 50’s were
leather jackets, loose fitting
shirts, cuffed pants, and a
style of bowling shoes

Moving onto the 60’s is where we
broke many iconic fashion trends

The 60’s is where we dropped
traditional fashion trends that
emerged from previous decades

This is where the bikini started
for the girls, and women

The 60’s also was popular for the
PVC dresses (box shaped dresses)
and the Go Go Boots

This was also the time for both
men and women to be dressing in
mismatching prints

Highlighter colors, and
psychedelic prints

This also was a leading decade
for both men and women to
start the bell bottom pants
trends

Bell Bottoms, tie die, mini skirts,
and the androgynous hippie look
means were headed to the trends
of the 70’s!

This popular iconic decade
was highly known for
platform shoes and the
“Disco Look”

Popular in the 70’s for
women were rayon or jersey
wrap dresses

Popular for men were the three
piece suits which included a
matching vest underneath

Flared pants were worn by
both men and women along
with plaids, and outrageous
colors

This hippie fashion struck
our nation emphasizing our
music cultured lives

80’s fashion was known as
“the time that fashion
forgot”

Although many of these
crimes we call fashion are
hitting the mainstream again

80’s fashions brought a
new light to the acid wash
denim jeans

Skinny jeans hit the fashion
world in the 80’s along with
high rise pants

For both women and men
bright neon colors were
about the most popular
fashion trend

Wearing oversized sweat
apparel with leggings and or
leg warmers for women

Men also based a lot of their
fashion around work out
clothing and or sweat bands

Graphic tees became
popular with their 80’s rock
bands

From the 90’s and up to our
current decade we are
starting to see these fashion
trends come back into our
everyday lives

Current trends all have bits
and pieces from the 20’s
through the 80’s

Personally I wouldn’t say
that we currently have a
specific trend but more so a
blend of our generations

The past makes up our
generations current fashion
to unite a new fashion!
