A lot of girls wore turtleneck, while boys wore wide collared, button down shirts. Clothes were not the only fashion backs then, so was hair. Many men had Afros, thick sideburns, and moustaches. On the other hand, women sometimes had long and feathered or super long straight hair. Some of the 1970s fashion is used today but in a modern way.
One woman could put on a dress only with someone’s help as this was rather difficult. At that time it was very stylish to wear a variety of colors and fabrics for stockings and dresses. Dresses and underwear were cut to show off the woman’s figure in a demure way. The underwear had whale-bones or flexible steel in order to make them close-fitting.

In the twentieth century, women have overcome gender discrimination and achieved some equality. Women not only achieved equality in human rights, but they also overcame sexist stereotypes such as change their clothing styles from heavy floor length skirts to trousers. However, now the media still shows women as a symbol of the frailer sex whose unique role is to represent beauty and fashion, rather than intelligence and independence. Alison Lurie, in her essay “Women’s clothes-Towards Emancipation”, states that changes in women’s clothes from the late Victorian era to the twentieth century illustrates the stages of women's emancipation from sexual equality, escape from limited gender roles and to access to higher education. During the late-Victorian era, society stereotyped women as the frail sex.
(p. 80) Young women really loved the bobbed hairstyle. One fashion magazine predicted that the bobbed hairstyle would not last very long, but it did and they were forced to show more bobbed hairstyles in their magazine. The cosmetic industry made lots of money as well because of all of the products they were pushing to women. By 1929, some 2,500 different perfume brands were created along with 1,500 face creams.

Men adopted clothes closely fitting to the body; overcoats with tight sleeves, felt hats with more or less wide brims, and closed shoes and boots. Women also wore their dresses closely fitting to the figure, with tight sleeves, low-crowned hats, and richly-trimmed petticoats. Hair was turned over in rolls, and adorned with precious stones, and was surmounted by a small cap, coquettishly placed either on one side or on the top of the head, and ornamented with gold chains, jewels, and feathers.

The loosening of limits on women was one of the most important legacies of the 1920's. In both America and certain countries of Europe women were voting for the first time. They were also getting better jobs. Young women were wearing dresses and shamefully tight bathing suits that showed leg skin from knee on down. Talking about Freud and sex were signs of hip ness.
e women before World War 1 took on an extremely different role than women of the twenties. This, in turn, made them look much different. Bouffant hairstyles, where the hair is piled high up on the head were replaced with the short bobs. In 1923 the waistline normally sitting around the natural waist moved down to the hips. The flapper dress was lose and straight with a waistline at the hips.
Models played gauche, boutiques and unisex made an entrance (Watson 14).” During this decade, the men’s fashion consisted of buffalo plaid shirts, tight- fitted shirts that would be worn with narrow labels and drain pipe pants, and the hipster pants came into style. Another bold trend was the different variety of collars. “Some very famous collar styles were the turtle necks, which were mainly designed on sweaters and vests (Jadhav).” “The Nehru collar also gained popularity which was inspired by the Indian look for politicians and was a favorite with "The Beatles" and other 60's celebrities (Jadhav).” The women’s fashion trend of the decade went through several different changes.
The final result of this phenomenon is for example celebrities wearing flip-flops and tattoos, the Saint Laurent’s FW13 collection with a strong influence of street style and even princesses wearing overalls (Princess Diana in the 80’s). 3.

The people on the street started to influence the designers and Art was no longer an elite exclusive thing, making the Fashion world open up for everyone.
