Firstly, and in my opinion most importantly, the waistline. This was around the time that clothing started to be more fitted around the waist WITHOUT a corset was introduced. The silhouette of the 40's was similar to an hourglass, which was influenced by the fashion of the Victorian Era.
Also, you see the V-neck starting to become more common.
WWII had a definite impact on fashion in the '40's because materials became very scarce and people began making their own clothing. Also, the '40's was when women started working so suits became increasingly more popular.
And of course, shoes! Due to WWII, the shoes were made with a thicker heel for easier walking in case of an emergency or evacuation. As previously mentioned, women began to work so of course they needed shoes they could comfortably wear all day that still had style.
This is just some of the signature 1940's styles, I'll post some more soon!
I hope you enjoyed this week's blog and come back next week for more!
