Hello everyone welcome back to our blog, today I am going to travel with you to 1910’s and take a look in their fashion style.

Fashion in 1910 was unique. It retained much of the class and style of the previous era, but in a simpler way. However, World War I had a huge impact in the everyday lives of individuals and families, including on what they wore.

Women’s Fashion 👩🏼

The fashion silhouette softened significantly during the decade, with less emphasis on the S-shape that corsets created and more focus on a fluid, more flowing look.

This shift was reflected in the way dresses and skirts were designed. Dress lengths fell to just above the ankle, which was higher than the floor-length ball gowns of previous years.

In contrast to the hoop skirts of previous decades, the 1910s brought a new trend, where skirts tightened around the ankle. These skirts looked almost like a longer, more flowing version of the pencil skirts of today. They were often worn with a tunic, jacket, or even a fur-lined coat.

Men’s Fashion🧔🏻

Men’s fashion has not seen as dramatic a change since 1910. What men wore then is very similar to what you might find in a shopping mall today, with some slight differences.

At the beginning of the decade, it was popular for men to wear a loose-fitting, long suit called a sack suit. Once the war ended, younger men wanted something different than what their fathers had worn, which resulted in more tailored-fit, colored suits. These suits felt more familiar to those who had spent months in a military uniform.

Children’s Fashion 🧸

The 1910s were a significant period when it came to children. In this era, children stopped wearing smaller versions of adult clothing and began to wear clothing made specifically for them.

Boys👬🏼

Knickers and knee socks became standard for boys during this period. Fauntleroy suits were briefly popular during the 1910s, but soon became reserved for formal wear. More colors began to appear, pushing the boundaries away from the standard dark and white.

Girls👭🏼

Girls began to wear fabric that was more durable and less delicate, allowing them to move and play. Dresses became shorter and had less detail due to material rationing during World War I. With less time for laundry, styles became looser, making clothes easier to wash. Knee socks also became popular for girls, as did hair ribbons.

I hope you enjoyed the fashion in 1910s, I’ll be back soon with a new decade and a new fashion🦋.
