Band Bertha Breeze Brimmed Catch Falling Flappers Gathered Skirts Soft Tucker Wear Wide Windy 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring twenties with this delightful image of two happy flappers enjoying a windy July day in 1923. The women, dressed in the height of fashion, wear soft, wide-brimmed hats that not only protect them from the sun but also add a touch of elegance to their outfits. Their gathered skirts, billowing in the breeze, add a playful and coy element to their ensembles. The flapper look was all about breaking free from the constraints of traditional women's fashion, and these women embody that spirit with their carefree attitudes and modern costumes. The soft fabric of their dresses and the wide brims of their hats were popular choices for flappers, allowing them to move freely and dance the night away at speakeasies and jazz clubs. This historical photograph, taken in 1923, captures the essence of the flapper era, a time of rebellion, liberation, and fun. The band playing in the background adds to the lively atmosphere, and the women's happy expressions show that they are fully embracing the moment. The wide-brimmed hats, a staple of the flapper look, were often referred to as "Bertha" hats, named after the character in the play "The Taming of the Shrew" who wore a similar hat. These hats were designed to shield the wearer from the sun, as well as to provide a sense of anonymity, allowing flappers to go incognito as they defied societal norms. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, a time when women dared to be bold and embrace the wind in their hair and the freedom of the moment.
