These Rare Photos From the 40’s Show A Different World

Fierce Fashion

Fashion is known to change over the decades. New trends takeover, and what was stylish last summer isn’t always what is stylish this summer. 1940s fashion was all about the hourglass silhouette with a touch of masculinity. If women’s figures were not naturally shaped like an hourglass, the clothes would help achieve the desired shape. Men’s fashion at the time was heavily influenced by the war. Double pleated pants and long jackets were trends in the 40s. Some of these trends have made a comeback in fashion today, such as high-waisted jeans.
