WARTIME WOMEN-fashion
When the First World War hit Britain, it impacted fashion greatly. All the fancy materials, such as silk, lace and satin were lacking in production, as the war was impacting it.The money was also very tight for most people in that particular time, therefore women started to get involved with the war, so they dressed along military lines, such as "land girls".Women even took over men jobs such as dentistry, which was very rare before the war.This resulted in women wearing less restrictive and decorative daywear as many women became accustomed to wearing practical uniforms or workwear.
I believe that the war really influenced the fashion trends we have today, like the military trends that is popular in autumn and winter. Giving vintage wartime garments a modern twist to fashion. for example the trench coat has gone from a very working class and practical look, to a very classy and modern look. I love miliary wear as I like the connection it has to history and the overall look of the trend is very sexy and I like how its a trend both men and women can have.
