The document discusses fashion trends for women in the 1920s. As women's roles changed following World War I and the passage of the 19th amendment granting women's suffrage, fashion evolved to give women more freedom of movement and a lighter, less restrictive style compared to the past. Iconic fashion designer Coco Chanel led the way in adopting a more boyish look through her designs that replaced corsets with lighter clothing like the Chanel Suit. Younger women of the time known as flappers also embraced this new fashion through shorter skirts, bobbed haircuts, and behaviors like smoking and drinking that broke social norms.
