Basic heeled pumps were also in style, so if you already have some in your closet, by all means, wear them. For daywear, look at walking Oxfords with a low heel. Most ’20s hairstyles were styled to be short and close to the head so a cloche hat could fit snugly over it. Women without natural curl turned to marcel waving, water waving, and wave clips to achieve the desired 1920s hairstyle. Most women became frequent visitors to men’s barbers and the new women’s salons that exploded during this decade.

A similar short pant were breeches (jodhpurs) used for hunting, riding, outdoor work, and uniforms for chauffeurs and military men. Breeches laced below the knee to fit inside tall boots or under leather gaiters. The hip was extra wide and roomy- which looks very comical to us now.

Gloves. Long over the elbow opera gloves for evenings and shorter mid arm leather, silk or mesh gloves for daytime. Shop gloves. Wristwatches were practical but highly decorated pieces of jewelry. Watch faces came in square or rectangle Art Deco designs covered in filigree. They were thin and dainty, much like a tennis bracelet in platinum, white gold, or sterling silver. Avoid open-toe sandals or wedge heels if you want to be authentic. 1920s shoes had a mid-heel that was sturdy, not too thin, and came with straps — one, two or many. A men’s dress shirt had a detachable white collar on a striped, colored shirt. You won’t find detachable collars anymore, but a white collared shirt is trendy right now. A white dress shirt or solid color is fine, too, but the striped shirts with white cuffs and collar really look vintage! Shop 1920s style men’s shirts here. Collar pin– Kept soft shirt collars down and neat. Cufflinks were also necessary to close french cuffs.A woman’s long hair, what had been for centuries her pride and joy, was now meeting cutting shears for the first time. The new look was the bob cut. Short, ear length curly hair in the early years gave way to smooth finger waved styles by 1930. Suits: Three-piece suits with wide lapels and high rise cuffed trousers in stripes, plaid, tweed, and wool suiting. A feather fan, lace fan or paper fan was another dramatic handheld accessory. For daytime, a paper parasol was a popular beach or poolside accessory. Shop parasols and hand fans. Wide shoes are available in comfort brands. See the section I found here.
