THE 40'S!

Ahhhh, the 40's fashion had a lot going on since there was the war and people not importing goods into the USA anymore. In early 40's, women wore classic dresses and 2-piece suits. They also wore laced heels or corked wedges. In 1946, the 2-piece swimsuit was created and then later the bikini. During the war times, clothing factories couldn't make much clothes because they were switched to war factories. Clothing items such as silk, were replaced by nylon for women to wear. Women also worked in the factories and wore clothing that wouldn't get stuck in the machines. After the war, women started to wear fuller and longer dresses. The mermaid style was popular as a dress style. Women also wore corsets to look thinner and wanted to wear shorter skirts. T-shirts and tuxedos were the popular items in men's wardrobe. The raincoat was introduced thanks to the military. Personally, I do like this era style of fashion. I love the raincoats and how the dresses look cute on women. The t-shirts are comfy for today's wear and it can go with anything I wear today. I think that the tuxedo is a good choice since it makes men look neat and clean. Overall, the fashion is getting better and Lena approves! PICTURES!
