Elegant Photos That Defined 1930s Fashion Styles of Women

The fashion of the thirties is usually overshadowed by the Great Depression, but the 1930s were full of glamor and style.

The very loose, square, drop-waist, high knee-length hem and slightly “boyish” look of 1920s fashion for women was completely gone by the 1930s. It was replaced with a much more modest and form-fitting style with an accentuated natural “high waist,” fitted hips, longer mid-calf or floor length hemline, high neckline, and wide shoulders. Trim, tailored, modest, and feminine describes women’s 1930s fashion perfectly.

Take a look at these elegant photos to see fashion styles of women in the 1930s.
