= = = = = = =In the 1920's, it felt like the "old fashioned girl" was lost forever and the "new woman" was born. She smoked, drank, voted, danced, wore makeup, cut her hair, and went to parties. She was a flapper.= =Flappers were going for a new look. Nightclubs were the place to be and women went out with friends forgetting all about chaperons.Ladies were active and wild which shocked the older generations. Now doesn't this seem a lot like our own generation.....=

== =**The costume history image in our minds of a woman of the 'Roaring Twenties' is actually likely to be the image of a flapper. Flapper fashion embraced all things and styles modern. A fashionable flapper had short sleek hair, a shorter than average shapeless shift dress, a chest as flat as a board, wore make up and applied it in public, smoked with a long cigarette holder, exposed her limbs and epitomised the spirit of a reckless rebel who danced the nights away in the Jazz Age. The flapper fashion style flourished amid the middle classes negating differences between themselves and the truly rich, but continuing to highlight some differences with the really poor. FLappers where very into the jazz scene and deffinatly knew they were fashionable and showed it! Flappers wore clothes that was very outgoing and loud and were mainly for parties and events to show off and to be fashionable. They wore the same thing as the girls in The Great Gadsby. http://www.fashion-era.com/flapper_fashion_1920s.htm**=

It wasn't until the 1950s when adults and others noticed them for their clothes, their attitudes, and their actions. Their clothes seemed almost unholy and also rebellious, but was the new and drastic way of expressing themselves. Many teenage boys were influened by famous artisits such as rock and roll singers, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. The main look from these people was wearing black leather jackets with denim jeans and slicked back hair. These kind of boys were known as the "greasers". Another popular style was known as the "teddy boy look". They were a much more attractive looking type of class than the greasers. These men would wear narrow tie with either a blazer or a simple jacket, and they also made their appearence look much more cleaner and neater than those of the greasers. The young teenage boys during the 1920s wore about the same types of clothing that people did in the book The Great Gatsby. [|www.fashion-era.com]= = = = =
