The color of lipstick was very important for flappers and the fashion, although they did not always wear red lipstick, usually it was gold, or white. The color of women’s accessories was very important to some people. They liked to wear hats, scarfs, and corsets. Also, in the 19th century, dresses became very formal, and […]
Many people had many items of interest on their wardrobes that were not found or owned today. A big deal in that time was women’s fashion magazines, which were mostly published at the turn of the century.

The first popular color in the 1920s was blue, but today most women prefer darker red. (You probably don’t see it much these days, but it’s still popular in the 1920s.)
