Fashion in the 1920s reflected the social changes and newfound freedoms of the era. Women's roles were expanding as skirts became shorter and clothing more movable to accommodate women entering the workforce. The flapper emerged, rebelling against traditional norms through behavior like smoking, drinking, and cutting their hair short. Designers like Coco Chanel adopted a more boyish, liberated style replacing corsets with lighter clothing. Bright colors, fringes, beads, and feathers were popular amidst this carefree, rebellious period.
