The 1920s was a decade defined by social and cultural rebellion. From the bootleggers who smuggled moonshine across state lines to the women’s suffrage movement that helped to secure the right to vote, the Roaring Twenties caused quite a commotion.

Another highlight of the ’20s that exemplified change was the evolution of women’s hairstyles.

Ladies were saying goodbye to their long locks and welcoming much shorter hairdos. The mass appeal of this trend wasn’t accepted 1920s-hairstyleby many beauty salons, so barbers became all the rage for doing women’s hair. Armed with close-cutting scissors known as shears, these bold women were in well-trained hands.

Elaborate and expensive jewels worn as headpieces added a feminine touch.

Whether you’re inspired by Boardwalk Empire’s forever beautiful cast of prohibitionist-era women, films like Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby or vintage classics such as Dorothy Parker, Josephine Baker, Gilda Gray or Clara Bow, one fact remains true: women of the 1920s were worthy of admiration.

Bottom line – I am a huge fan of the 20’s style!
