For women, skirts became longer and the waist-line was returned up to its normal position. Other aspects of fashion from the 1920s took longer to phase out. <a href="/wiki/Cloche_hat" title="Cloche hat">Cloche hats</a> remained popular until about 1933 while short hair remained popular for many women until late in the 1930s and even in the early 1940s. The Great Depression took its toll on the 1930s womenswear due to World War II which dates from 1939 to 1945. This greatly affected the fashion of how women dressed during the 1940s. According to <a href="/wiki/Dress_history" title="Dress history">dress historian</a> Jayne Shrimpton: "Committed to ensuring the fair distribution of scarce but essential resources, namely food, clothing, and furniture, the government introduced a comprehensive rationing scheme based on allocation of coupons - a system deriving, ironically, from the German rationing plan devised in November 1930."<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Because of the economic crash, designers were forced to slash prices for clothing in order to keep their business afloat, especially those working in couture houses. Designers were also forced to use cheaper fabric and materials, and dress patterns also grew in popularity as many women knew how to sew. Hence, clothing was made more accessible. Incidentally, there was also a continuation of mass production, which had been rising in popularity since the 1920s. The 1930s allowed women from all classes and socio-economic backgrounds to be fashionable, regardless of wealth. With prices slashed on types of fabrics utilized for designing, new inventions such as the zipper made the manufacturing of garments quicker and cheaper. This was also influenced by the rise in women entering the workforce alongside the rise of the <a href="/wiki/Working_woman" class="mw-redirect" title="Working woman">working woman</a>, as they still were able to afford to dress well and stay in style. Daywear also had to be functional, but it never lost its touch of elegance or femininity, as the dresses would still naturally highlight the female or womanly shape: with cinched waistlines, skirts fitted to the hip and fullness added to the hem with flared gores or pleats. Frilled rayon blouses also went with the cinched waist.<sup id="cite_ref-Twentieth-Century_American_Fashion_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Twentieth-Century_American_Fashion-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Because clothes were rationed and fabric was scarce, the hemlines of dresses rose to knee length. The main sort of dress in the 1940s included features such as an hour glass shape figure, broad shoulders, nipped in high waist tops and A line skirts that came down to just at the knee.

Other popular headpieces were variations of <a href="/wiki/Headscarf" title="Headscarf">headscarves</a>, such as the <a href="/wiki/Kerchief" title="Kerchief">bandana</a> <a href="/wiki/Rosie_the_Riveter" title="Rosie the Riveter">Rosie the Riveter</a> is pictured wearing in the recruitment posters. Another variation of the headscarf was simply tying a square scarf folded in half under the chin. Later in the 1950s and 60s these headscarves became highly glamorized by celebrities like <a href="/wiki/Audrey_Hepburn" title="Audrey Hepburn">Audrey Hepburn</a>, <a href="/wiki/Brigitte_Bardot" title="Brigitte Bardot">Brigitte Bardot</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Jacqueline_Kennedy_Onassis" title="Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis">Jacqueline Kennedy</a>. This glamorized look came from women in the 1940s who wore headscarves over their <a href="/wiki/Victory_rolls" title="Victory rolls">victory rolls</a> in order to make their simple clothes look dressed up. <a href="/wiki/Draped_turban" title="Draped turban">Draped turbans</a> – sometimes fashioned from headscarves – also made an appearance in fashion, representing the working woman of the period. These were worn by women of all classes.This type of headwear could be glamorous or practical. Turbans were the most functional for the working woman because she was able to have all her hair out of her face and skip washing her hair by covering it with the turban. Both turbans and headscarves were useful for hiding curlers so when a woman got off work all she had to do was take out her curlers and her hair would be set for a night out.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> All these alternative options to hats were popular, not only for function and glamour, but also because the look could be achieved quite inexpensively. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Swimwear">Swimwear</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1930%E2%80%931945_in_Western_fashion&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Swimwear"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Olvas%C3%B3_n%C5%91._Fortepan_714.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Olvas%C3%B3_n%C5%91._Fortepan_714.jpg/220px-Olvas%C3%B3_n%C5%91._Fortepan_714.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="317" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Olvas%C3%B3_n%C5%91._Fortepan_714.jpg/330px-Olvas%C3%B3_n%C5%91._Fortepan_714.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/Olvas%C3%B3_n%C5%91._Fortepan_714.jpg/440px-Olvas%C3%B3_n%C5%91._Fortepan_714.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1524" data-file-height="2195" /></a><figcaption>Woman wearing a swimsuit in a swimming pool in Hungary in 1938.</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gene_Tierney_-_AAFPOABrief.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Gene_Tierney_-_AAFPOABrief.jpg/220px-Gene_Tierney_-_AAFPOABrief.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="276" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Gene_Tierney_-_AAFPOABrief.jpg/330px-Gene_Tierney_-_AAFPOABrief.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Gene_Tierney_-_AAFPOABrief.jpg/440px-Gene_Tierney_-_AAFPOABrief.jpg 2x" data-file-width="714" data-file-height="896" /></a><figcaption>Typical 1945 two-piece swimsuit worn by Gene Tierney</figcaption></figure> <p>An important style that became popular due to the war was the two-piece swimsuit which later led to the <a href="/wiki/Bikini" title="Bikini">Bikini</a>. In 1942, the <a href="/wiki/War_Production_Board" title="War Production Board">War Production Board</a> passed a law called the L-85 which put restrictions on clothing production.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For swimwear companies the L-85 meant they had to use 10 percent less fabric in all their designs, as a result swimsuits became smaller. Swimsuits had been becoming more minimal for a while but in 1944 <a href="/wiki/Tina_Leser" title="Tina Leser">Tina Leser</a> debuted one of the first two-piece swimsuits. Even though the bottoms were high waisted, cut low on the legs, and paired with a modest <a href="/wiki/Bandeau" title="Bandeau">bandeau</a>, Lesers’ two piece was still considered a daring style for the era. According to Sarah Kennedy, author of <i>The Swimsuit: A History of Twentieth-Century Fashion</i>, unlike the bikini the two-piece was created out of necessity and was not meant to be shocking. There was an unspoken rule that <a href="/wiki/Midriff" title="Midriff">bellybuttons</a> must never show, causing high waisted bottoms.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Despite it being scandalous to some, the two-piece was eventually accepted due to the lack of other options. The L-85 did not only make swimsuits smaller, but it also pushed designers to become more creative with their designs, leading to suits that accentuated and drew attention to women's bodies. This was done by putting boning in the swimwear. Two years after Leser debuted one of the first two-pieces, the bikini was invented in 1946 by a French engineer named <a href="/wiki/Louis_R%C3%A9ard" title="Louis Réard">Louis Réard</a>. It was apparently named after the <a href="/wiki/Bikini_Atoll" title="Bikini Atoll">Bikini Atoll</a>, which was the site of a nuclear bomb test in 1946, because Réard hoped its impact would be explosive in the fashion world.<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The bikini was even more daring than the two-piece, thus it did not become popular until 1953 when <a href="/wiki/Brigitte_Bardot" title="Brigitte Bardot">Brigitte Bardot</a> was photographed in one at the <a href="/wiki/Cannes_Film_Festival" title="Cannes Film Festival">Cannes Film Festival</a>. Although the bikini did become popular in Europe in 1953 it did not become popular in the United States until the 1960s. </p> <dl><dt></dt></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Style_gallery">Style gallery</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1930%E2%80%931945_in_Western_fashion&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Style gallery"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="1930–1935"><span id="1930.E2.80.931935"></span>1930–1935</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1930%E2%80%931945_in_Western_fashion&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: 1930–1935"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;

The new suit was softer and more flexible in construction than the suits of the previous generation; extra fabric in the shoulder and armscye, light padding, a slightly nipped waist, and fuller sleeves tapered at the wrist resulted in a cut with flattering folds or drapes front and back that enhanced a man's figure. The straight leg wide-trousers (the standard size was 23 inches at the cuff) that men had worn in the 1920s also became tapered at the bottom for the first time around 1935. The new suit was adopted enthusiastically by Hollywood stars including <a href="/wiki/Fred_Astaire" title="Fred Astaire">Fred Astaire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cary_Grant" title="Cary Grant">Cary Grant</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Gary_Cooper" title="Gary Cooper">Gary Cooper</a>, who became the new fashion trendsetters after the Prince's abdication and exile.
