While The Great Gatsby (possibly one of America’s greatest classic novel of all time) continues to climb the box office with its new adaptation of the book, fashion and beauty trends all over the runway resemble the twenties fashion found in Gatsby!
From fringe, headbands, over-the-knee length dresses and tons of sparkle, the twenties were a prosperous time of flapper fashion! This season, the roaring twenties take over the fashion industry as this new glamourous style emerges back into modern fashion!
The twenties, known as the Jazz age, was the beginning of a new era of independence – especially for women. As they began ditching the confined clothing and corsets, they embraced clothing much more loose fitting and comfortable yet girly and flirty.
As seen by Daisy Buchanan (played by Carey Mulligan), the glitz and glam cannot be overlooked! From strings of pearls and crystal, layers of fur, and diamond encrusted headbands its clear the fashion of the twenties was geared towards the socialites and elite upper class.
Hair, is another big noticeable 20s trend! Like Myrtle (played by Isla Fisher), hair was usually short, bob like and styled down. Reaching up to her chin, which allows the hair to frame and highlight face shape and features, the hairstyles found in the 20s became yet another representation of women’s independence.
