In 1918 fashion trends were changing rapidly and many people had to start keeping up with the latest fashions. Fashion is always changing, but the fashion of the period was marked by the onset of World War I, which changed many aspects of the fashion industry, especially when it came to clothing styles. While the war did not bring about a major change in clothing styles, it did result in many different fashion trends that changed the face of fashion forever.
It was during this period that women’s clothing began to undergo a tremendous transformation. Gone were the days when trenchcoats and overalls were the only form of clothing available for working women. The addition of silk stockings and hosiery to the wardrobe of every woman helped to make fashion more acceptable for men as well. With the advent of chiffon and velvet clothing, along with a greater use of delicate fabrics and materials, the concept of a “fashy” look became much more acceptable and was even worn by celebrities.
Changes in the world of clothing helped to bring about changes in the way that people thought about, and wore, clothing. These changes are still being felt today. As the modern world faces economic challenges and looks to the future, it is interesting to note that there has never been a point in history when the fashion industry was more dynamic. This can be seen in how clothing is always being transformed, from the ways that they are made to the colors that are used, the designs that are used, and even the way that people wear them.
