One of the most recognized changes of the 1920s was the change in fashion. Women started to wear more comfortable clothes, including pants and shorter skirts with pleats, instead of the more constricting clothes they used to wear. Men also started to wear more sporty clothes, them being used to dressing formally. Men and women both were also beginning to start playing with accessories, mostly hats. Fashion at this time was started to be influenced by the new art movements, creating a whole new style. This change contributed to the city being more modern because at first, people were reluctant to change but by 1925, it was quickly adapted to and accepted by society. The change was so popular, it defined fashion up until the next decade. Some of the styles that began to be practiced then are even popular and important in today’s culture as far as the fashion world.
