Almost 100 Years Later, These Outfits Still Look Amazing
The way we see it, it’s no surprise that fashion from the 1920s is still so rich and inspiring nearly a century later. After all, there’s a reason the decade got that Roaring ’20s nickname. And even a small peek at the ladies who championed the aesthetics of the era will serve up outfit ideas in spades, be it from the classic flapper look that favored less figure-defining shapes (and shameless amounts of pearls) or gender-norm-defying icons like Marlene Dietrich.
What’s most fascinating about the era is how its fashion didn’t seem to fit one mold—women of the 1920s could pile on the extras or opt for minimalism. And like so many of us today, they could use style to express and celebrate their identities. Only weeks away from 2020 and a full century from the 1920s, these looks and the values they imbued are just as relevant today as they were 100 years ago. Scroll down to revisit some of our favorite looks from the 1920s.
You have a lot to learn, 2019 statement sleeves.More is more when patterns, ruffles, and bows come together in one ensemble.This icon made a silky robe and fuzzy details feel so much more than boudoir-ready, and well before It girls of today wore the pajama-dressing trend.Simple, straightened, and monochrome, this look is for the minimalists among us.The statement collar transforms the whole ensemble.Bring on the sequins in spades. But the pearls? Just one simple strand will do.There’s so much glamour in this effortless ensemble.Art Deco FTW.This unconventional silhouette and skirt layering is one we can picture on 2019’s most creative dressers.Just a reminder to step up your hat game.Don’t forget to pair your elegant tiers of ruffles with a wavy bob and a steely gaze.This silky design is so shiny that it’s practically liquid.What’s better than a one-shoulder design? One-shoulder dramatic draping.Who’s to say what’s menswear and what’s not? Not Dietrich.This is us stepping up our hat game. More bows, more patterns, more fun. Marlene Dietrich would be proud. Sleepwear as partywear à la Josephine Baker. Who knew one-sleeved dresses weren't a new trend? Girls in the 1920s knew how to make a statement, and so does this dress. The decade loved a good frill. A full skirt gets full approval.

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?).

As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
