Fashion in the era of the 20s of the XX century

The screen version of the novel “The Great Gatsby” impressed not only film fans, but also all those who are not indifferent to the fashion of a dazzling and glamorous jazz era.

In the postwar years, emancipated women found the long-awaited opportunity to be relaxed and show themselves in all their glory, which determined the style. It was the time of gangsters, jazz and refined ladies. Money was spent on luxurious costumes and chic parties. Fashion has changed dramatically: women finally abandoned puffy skirts and tight corsets, all kinds of fasteners and frills. In the course went dress casual neutral colors, rectangular silhouettes of simple cut, bold cutouts. Glitter and magnificence were demonstrated by the best accessories.

At this time the eccentric art deco style was born.

The fashion of the jazz era personifies sophistication, aristocracy, sophistication and delightful chic.

Style features

Dresses in retro style attract with seductive charm.

Here elements of the most different styles are combined, but luxury details are always used. Fashionable were elegant fur boas, outfits decorated with embroidery, fringe, precious stones and feathers.

Important details of the evening dress were a long string of pearls tied in a knot, as well as gloves, longer than the elbow. An additional accessory is a small handbag, lavishly embroidered with stones, or a bag-pouch on a cord.

The usual style of the time was a dress that was cut out in the shape of a rectangle. Small tucks were allowed, but the silhouette remained not fitted. Waistline significantly undervalued. Deep neckline often on the back. French skirt length (to the knee or a little lower), which could be lengthened, sewed fringe along the waistline. For the outfits, soft shades were used: golden, cream, pale lilac, gray, brown and black. Femininity and romance to the straight silhouette gave easily draped fabrics and rich accessories.

Who is the style for?

In dresses of styles of the 20s, a woman with the most different body types will look charmingly.

The rectangular style will help to hide many of the flaws: "hide" the tummy, not the most pronounced waist, the difference between the size of the chest and hips. Often used in the style of the 20's multi-tiered fringe, also perfectly rescues. In addition, it looks very impressive, but gives the volume, where required, and hides the figure from excess.

Any lady in such a dress changes, and her image becomes incredibly feminine and romantic.

Dresses heroines of the film "The Great Gatsby"

As you know, when creating a film, fashion designers and jewelers spent $ 120 million on creating images of heroes. Of course, the fashion of past eras cannot be repeated in detail, and the outfits of the heroines were only stylized to the fashion of the 20s.

Daisy, the main character of the film, born in a rich family, married to a successful Tom, clearly shows us how wealthy ladies dressed in the 20's. The girl first appears in front of the viewer in a delicate dress embroidered with feathers. At the party, the heroine appears in a luxurious dress decorated with a cascade of shimmering crystals.Throughout the film, Daisy appears in incredible lace dresses and fur boas. The dresses are decorated with pearls, diamonds, openwork gloves, romantic air chiffon bows. The pastel colors of the dresses give the heroine a weightlessness and romance. In each outfit, Daisy radiates grace and elegance.

Jordan Baker, Daisy's girlfriend, is a prominent representative of the 20s: independent, loves sports, loves noisy parties.

When he belongs to a higher society, Jordan, in contrast to the main character, uses more daring elements in his image: dramatic make-up characteristic of his time, tight-fitting outfits, and boldly stripping shoulders and back. At the party at Gatsby, she also appears in a spectacular long dress in black, with an elaborately beaded neck and a shiny belt. Here it is, a vivid example of Art Deco style.

Mistress of Tom, Myrtle creates a sharp contrast with previous representatives of high society. And no matter how hard the red-haired heroine is no worse than these social lionesses, she clearly demonstrates an example of bad taste. She wears red fishnets, vulgar flashy outfits with bright ruffles. Cheap accessories, huge earrings and similar ridiculous jewelery ruthlessly give out Myrtle level. Nevertheless, we see that the Art Deco style did not leave aside representatives of all sectors of society.

How to create an image?

When creating an image, preference should be given to dresses of pastel tones or black color from noble fabrics - silk, velvet, lace canvas, delicate chiffon.

Straight cut, French length, bold neckline, low waist, pleated skirt or fringed decoration looks good. You can generously decorate the outfit with rhinestones, feathers, beads, bugles.

Accessories

To create a sophisticated look in the style of the 20s, you need to add it with the appropriate accessories. Long earrings with rhinestones and feathers, solid brooches and impressive rings. Pearl thread can be worn in several layers and tied in knots. The decollete on a back with the beads thrown back looks advantageously.

A fur boa, feather boa, long gloves and a small handbag decorated with rhinestones or a fringe add a glamor chic to the image. To fully match the image - do not forget the long mouthpiece.

Footwear

Gatsby-style shoes alongside should be selected to be closed, with a neat, rounded toe with webbed or lacing. Instead of laces, it is better to thread a satin braid, tied up with an elegant bow. Also fit shoes, decorated with a buckle or a bow. The heel is steady, narrowing to a bottom, height is 5-7 cm.

Makeup

Gatsby make-up is the perfect complexion to the eyes and lips. The main characteristics are pale skin tone, skillfully drawn high arched eyebrows, a large number of mascara, thick eyeliner, sponge "bow". Blush was used only on the apples of the cheeks.

In the early 20s were relevant round shape of the eye, with a darkening in the inner corner. However, this type of makeup is not recommended for owners of close-set eyes. Dark lipstick tones are used, with a matte effect.

Hairstyle

Gatsby style involves the use of all kinds of headgear - decorated with stones, feathers and sequins hats, headbands, felt bows, knitted silk scarf.

The hair is laid adjacent to the head waves, long gather in a bun. The variety and sophistication of hair ornaments, even if it is not a vintage hat, but a headband or scarf-bandage, frees girls from unnecessary trouble with their hair, saving time and effort.

The image for the bride at the wedding

The rules for the bride are similar - a dress in the shape of an elongated cylinder with a low waistline. In addition to the traditional white, shades of the dress, at the request of the bride, can be very different: ivory, pale pink, cream, cream.

The delicate image of Daisy is most suitable, emphasizing the adorable silhouette of a dress of silk, airy chiffon and delicate lace.

  • Rhinestones, pearls, various wedding jewelry are used to decorate the attire.
  • Collect a wedding bouquet of delicate little white and pink roses, lilies, adding greens. Such a bouquet, wrapped in a fabric of lace, will not leave anyone indifferent.
  • Curl your hair in waves, collect in a bun and secure with hairpins. Hair can be decorated with a small original hat, rim or bandage. Feathers, pearls, organza flowers, a hair net decorated with small rhinestones will add to the fullness of the image.
  • Complement the image of a small embroidered handbag, long gloves made of fine lace.
  • Wedding shoes also have a heel of medium height and a closed rounded sock. Also welcome shoes for the bride, decorated with rhinestones or pearls.
  • The bright and dramatic make-up characteristic of this style on the bride will look too rough. Wedding makeup should captivate with its sensuality. Lipstick pale coral color, brown eyeliner and mascara, light powder will create a delicate image.

Gatsby's style leaves no one indifferent. Tastefully selected stylish accessories are admired by others.

Do not miss the opportunity to pamper yourself with an elegant and so fashionable outfit in this unique style.
