Question

Identify at least TWO trends in American society that you think distinguished the 1920s as a unique decade. Describe these trends, and explain what social, political, and/or economic changes made them possible in 1920s America.

Answer 1

The 1920's Fashion trends were the shorter, low-waisted dresses and revealing styles worn by the Flappers, the 'bobbed' hairstyles, cloche hats, the casual, haphazard fashion of a mixture of brightly colored clothes, scarves and stockings with bold, striking Art Deco geometric designs of the era.
