Every year, it seems that certain trends from the past decide to reemerge. It looks like these '20s fashion trends are officially back.
The roaring '20s are back, the perfect excuse for reimagining the styles of the last century with a modern take. These '20s fashion trends are all updated with a nice modern twist.
In the 1920s the bob was all the rage. Women made the bold move to cut hair short, inspired by film stars like Clara Bow, Louise Brooks, and Anita Page. “Part and parcel with the rebellious flapper mentality, the decision to cut it all off was a liberating reaction to that stodgier time, a cosmetic shift toward androgyny that helped define an era,” shares Smithsonian Magazine. A modern wearable take on the bob is the soft blunt bob which Popsugar predicts will be the year’s biggest haircut trend. The look is a slightly grown out bob for a softer look.
When it comes to guy’s styles, a slicked-back look was popular in the 1920s. Today, men’s grooming is more popular than ever with plenty of men’s grooming products to help men achieve a slicked-back look inspired by the '20s. For a great example that nods to the 1920s, take a look at Leonardo DiCaprio’s hairstyle at the 2020 SAG awards. Esquire called his look “every bit old-school Hollywood glamour” and selected him as the best-dressed of the night, proving that '20s-inspired style is an on-trend classic look that can’t be beaten.
In the 1920s women accessorized their bobs and finger waves with all types of accessories from beaded headbands to feathers and pearls. While the accessories of the 1920s may be a little over-the-top for today, hair accessories like barrettes and headbands are making a comeback. Anthropologie’s Lise Pearl Barrette Set ($24) is a pretty way to accessorize and a subtle throwback to '20s accessorizing. Lululemon’s Bliss with a Twist headband also channels the 1920s “It girl” style.
Red lips and dark smokey eyes were the hot makeup looks of the 1920s. Luckily, today we can find the perfect red lip color or smokey eye shadow for any complexion thanks to a huge selection of brands and launches. Try Huda Beauty Obsessions Smokey Eyeshadow Palette ($27) to achieve a flawless smokey eye. We hear that MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo ($19) is a celeb favorite from Rihanna to Christina Hendricks and looks great on just about everyone.
