Fashion Staples through the decades (1900s-2000s)

1900s:

The style did not change much from the 1980s. Modest dresses were fashionable as well as corsets and showy ornamentation. The desirable silhouette was an 'S' shape.

1910s:

WW1 changed everything including fashion. A Softer, more natural silhouette was in style. Skirts began to taper towards the bottom and by the end of the decade, there was a completely new style. Later in the decade, the empire waist became popular.

1920s:

In this decade clothing was all about simplicity (partly due to WW1).Shorter skirts and simple shapes with a Tubular silhouette was now what everyone wanted. The Dropped waist was popular until 1923 and then rose again. Hemlines rose until 1926 and then dropped again. This style is known as “flapper” style. Short hair also became fashionable and a boy-ish figure was preferable.

1950s:

Dresses with a nippedin waist and full skirt were the style this decade. However, as the decade moved on the desired silhouette become straighter and slimmer and inspiration was drawn from what was known as the “teenager” style. Also, the pattern of the decade was… POLKA DOTS!!!

1940s: WW2 stalled fashion as resources were all used in the war and a huge amount of the fabric available was used to make parachutes and other necessities.

Both men and women were usually in uniform. The skirts of this decade were knee length and sleek.

1960:

This decade was all about fun, bright and colourful designs. Mini skirts were the most popular trend, but multiple styles became popular and the 'hippie' style was born. The first lady (USA) Jacqueline was a fashion icon, meaning whatever she wore became trendy. This was mainly colourful suits and skirts.

1980s:

This decade was the definition of “power dressing.” Shoulder pads and suits were one of the many staples of the decade. The other side of the 80s included bright colourful clothing and makeup looks with what is seen today as crazy haircuts. There was also the sportswear craze of leotards and legwarmers. Princess Diana was the style icon of the 80s.

1990:

The 90s mainstream style was casual and minimalistic, the opposite of the 80s. This decade was known as 'heroin chic' and "The perfect body" was all that everyone wanted. Blazers were still popular and unique hats went with them hand in hand. The 'Grunge' style was also a big part of the 90s.

2000s:

The 2000s, also known as Y2K, had staples that are coming back today, the most prominent of them being low rise jeans. At the beginning of the decade, new technology inspired fashion with metallic silvers, blacks, and the use of straps and belts. A matrixesque look. Showing skin with tight crop tops and miniskirts was also a very popular look. Britany Spears was the trend-setter for this decade.
