Flapper Dresses: Embodying the Spirit of the Decade

The flapper dress is perhaps the most quintessential symbol of the Roaring Twenties.

Designers like Coco Chanel and Jeanne Lanvin pioneered the flapper silhouette, which allowed women to move freely and express their newfound independence.

Whether you're attending a Gatsby-themed party or simply want to channel the roaring spirit, these dresses are a timeless choice.

While the flapper dress stole the spotlight, the men's fashion of the Roaring Twenties also underwent a significant transformation. The era saw the rise of the well-tailored suit, with slim-fit trousers and structured jackets becoming the hallmark of the modern gentleman. Styles like the three-piece suit and the tuxedo became de rigueur for formal occasions, lending an air of sophistication and refinement to the male wardrobe.
