1940's

The 1940s aesthetic came out of WWII rationing, pairing structured shoulders and A-line skirts with victory rolls and a utilitarian kind of elegance. Fabric conservation drove the tailoring, and innovative cutting kept feminine charm inside those limits. A-line midi skirts and padded-shoulder blazers form the core. Seamed stockings and Mary Jane heels sit below them. Structured handbags and victory roll hairstyles finish the look.
