1928 Fashion Trends

Fashion generally pertains to the changes in people’s dressing techniques and in their attitude, which can be manifested in clothes, hairstyles, and many other areas. It is through the efforts of fashion designers that the modern era of dressing styles has become as it is. This article seeks to highlight some of the 1928 fashion trends that defined women during that time. These were the great years of the fashion for women and marked a transition from older and heavier garments to lighter and more flexible clothing.

The fashion designs were influenced by a number of factors such as social status, the type of occupation, and the age and gender of individuals. For instance, during those times high society ladies would wear long skirts and would have a very different appearance than middle class women or working class women. The clothing materials during that time were cotton, velvet, silk, and brocade; all of which had varying degrees of colors and textures.

Today, clothing design for women still focuses on form and function, but there is an increased emphasis on fashion as a style statement as opposed to simply practical need. Designers now view fashion as an art form and as a means to express individuality. Clothing today has come a long way and is now considered to be an art form rather than just practical needs.
