EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the summer of 1901 and explore the fashionable attire for three popular activities: the seaside, cycling, and tennis or golf. In this illustration from The Graphic, three figures are depicted in outfits deemed suitable for each pursuit. The lady facing us dons a Simple Toilette for the Seaside or Country. Her outfit consists of a loose-fitting, high-necked blouse with long sleeves and a full, flowing skirt. The fabric, likely made of cotton or linen, is light and breathable for the warm weather. A sun hat with a wide brim and a parasol complete her seaside ensemble, providing protection from the sun's rays. Beside the bicycle, a figure wears a Cycling Costume of Grey Homespun. This practical outfit includes a fitted, long-sleeved shirt and high-waisted trousers made of heavy, grey fabric. The outfit allows for ease of movement while cycling, as well as providing coverage and protection from the elements. A sturdy, high-collared jacket and a wide-brimmed hat complete the cycling ensemble. The figure on the right wears a Smart Frock for Tennis or Golf. Her outfit consists of a fitted, knee-length dress with a high collar and long sleeves. The fabric, likely made of wool or another heavy material, is suitable for the active nature of these sports. A narrow-brimmed hat and a pair of ankle-length socks complete her tennis or golf outfit. This historical illustration, published in December 1900, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The elegance and practicality of these outfits reflect the societal norms and expectations of the time, offering a captivating window into the past.
