During the First World War, despite economic difficulties in many European countries, life on the home front went on almost as before. Women from privileged strata of society dressed up, and fashion houses continued their work. In letters from the war years, preserved until today, you can easily verify this, as the women described the entertainment and their purchased outfits.

Things were different during World War II. During these years fighting covered vast areas of Europe. The lives of many were in danger, and economic difficulties befell almost all countries. Due to the war, the production of civilian clothing almost ceased. Many women put on men's military uniforms and joined the ranks of the defenders of their Fatherland.

Women's clothing has undergone significant changes, although there were no major revolutions in the fashion of the 40s, but clearly men's style. Civilian clothing was supplemented with military details - belts, buckles, epaulettes, patch pockets. Women learned to be thrifty and each became her own designer. A habit arose of walking bareheaded, or at least wearing a scarf twisted into a turban.

Clothes from the early forties until 1946 were shortened and widened at the shoulders, and the waist was clearly defined. A thin waist emphasized fragility and grace, because even in military uniform a woman remained a woman.

In women's toilets, the waist was cinched with a wide belt, creating a contrast between broad shoulders, a circle skirt and a thin waist. The shoulders were expanded with puffs or special pads called “shoulders.” In coats, in order to emphasize the horizontal line of the shoulders, sometimes collars were completely absent, even in winter coats and fur coats.

On summer dresses short “wing” sleeves appeared. The sleeve of the kimono, which at that time was called the “bat”, was lined to clearly preserve the volume and wide shoulders.

Popular details in the fashion of the 40s were a variety of pockets, especially large ones, as well as collars, the ends of which reached the middle of the bodice. The suits had a very long jacket, often similar to men's jackets, also with wide shoulders, and a short skirt. A feature of the 40s was wearing a jacket not only with a skirt, but also with an ordinary colorful dress.

Skirts were popular - flared, pleated, ruffled. Particular preference was given to draperies, gathers, wedges, folds, and pleating. Evening dresses, and such they were, represented long skirts floor-length, hip-hugging and flared at the bottom, narrow lace sleeves, bare shoulders or kimono sleeves. Trousers came into everyday use, as stockings were simply a luxury.

The silhouette changed - its shape could be rectangular, more often this shape referred to a coat; in the form of two triangles, the vertices of which were joined together at the waist line (coat and dress); in the form of a square (a square suit jacket with a narrow short pencil skirt). These silhouettes emphasized long, thin legs with shoes with thick soles (platforms) made of cork or wood, high-heeled shoes, and sporty flats or boots with tops. This silhouette shape lasted until 1946.

Women loved these geometric lines so much that the transition to smoother, more natural lines after 1946 was difficult for many. In some countries that were particularly hard hit during the war, coats were made from wool or even cotton blankets.

Elegant dresses and even underwear were made from parachute silk. Fallen parachutes were the perfect fabric to create beautiful dresses. And the first who came up with the idea of ​​using them were French and German women, although severe punishment was provided for picking up a parachute in Germany.

Wool, leather, nylon and silk were strategically important materials in the 40s. That is why, when there was a shortage of leather in fascist Italy, cork heels appeared on shoes from, which Adolf Hitler’s girlfriend loved so much.

Was there costume jewelry during the war? Definitely. Those who could afford a lot, even during the war, wore gold and silver chains - this was the most fashionable decoration, and those who had straitened circumstances – simple metal chains.

Brooches and clips were universally loved by women of the 40s. The women decorated their outfits themselves - some with fringes made of threads, it was difficult to even say from what product, some embroidered with angora wool, and some with artificial flowers. Flowers, flowers, hairnets, knitted with their own hands, they were the ones who helped women out during those difficult war years. Both hair and hats were decorated with nets.

These things achieved especially high craftsmanship in Poland. Buttons in the 40s were also special - covered with the same fabric as the fabric of the dress (where to find the same buttons at that time). Visiting dresses had many of these small round buttons. Women wore bags on a belt over their shoulders, sometimes they sewed them themselves from the same material as the coat. Fur was rare. But those who could afford it certainly wore it. They especially loved fur muffs.

During the war, high-quality materials disappeared in European countries, production switched to the production of strategically important products and, of course, weapons. Therefore, in the 40s, combined products were especially fashionable - fabrics and fur from old stocks, fabrics of different textures and colors, tulle became fashionable for elegant dresses. After all, in order to appear at an evening celebration, you could sacrifice your luxurious curtain.

Women tried to find opportunities and showed unusual ingenuity and imagination, who was capable of what. Everyone was united in one thing - color. Many wore dark colors, the main color was black. The most fashionable combination was black and yellow, White color almost disappeared.

However, despite all misfortunes, a person, like a blade of grass to the sun, reaches out to life, to love. And this is confirmed by songs of the war years, music, poetry, films.

In Russia, and then in the Soviet Union, there were few opportunities to afford what was said about the fashion of 1940-1946, mainly there were “padded jackets”, tunics, short skirts with counter pleats, tightened with a military belt, a scarf on the head or a hat with earflaps, rough boots and the desire to win. The only thing that was possible for girls of the 40s was to put on their favorite pre-war dress and twist their hair into curls, fashionable at that time of war. And what happiness there was during a short respite on the fronts of our Motherland, when the accordion player had the opportunity to stretch the bellows of his accordion friend, and our girls (our grandmothers and great-grandmothers) started dancing, or heard the words of songs that warmed the soul.

...And the accordion sings to me in the dugout
About your smile and eyes...
Sing, harmonica, to spite the blizzard.
Call lost happiness.
I feel warm in a cold dugout
From your unquenchable love.

And women in Russia began to dress in the style of the military of the 40s only after the war, at a time when Dior offered his own to the women of Europe. At this time, the first fashion magazines appeared in Russia, brought from Europe by the wives of Soviet officers. Those combined dresses appeared that practical German and Austrian women sewed in the wartime 40s, a horizontal line of shoulders with “shoulders” or, as we called them, “linden” (linden shoulders). After the war, our young grandmothers took everything that was left from their old wardrobe, altered it, combined it, and embroidered it.

The most devastating war in European history was over...

Fashion, contrary to claims that it is independent of politics, is directly related to it. Here you can quote the words of the famous French writer Anatole France - show me the clothes of a certain country, and I will write its history.

At the end of the 30s, militaristic sentiments were strong in society, resulting, among other things, in a craving for sports, which remarkably realized the spirit of competition and primacy in a peaceful manner.

At this time, large patch pockets, lapels, and cuffs came into fashion. With the beginning of the war, the question of a shortage of materials arose: leather, natural silk, wool and cotton were used for military needs. Moreover, in 1940, the “Supply Restriction Decree” was issued, regulating the amount of fabric that was allowed to be used in the production of clothing. All this, of course, was reflected in the fashion for minimalism in cut details and scarcity of finishing: skirts became shorter and narrower, there were practically no decorative elements and other details that required the use of additional fabric. As for the color scheme, it was also not distinguished by its variety: black, gray, blue, khaki. Typical suits of that era resembled military uniforms: jackets had square shoulders with shoulder pads, belts were made like army ones, and the pockets were made voluminous. The most common elements in clothing were a pencil skirt and a shirt dress. Since the end of 1942, as a result of saving, things have come into fashion: there was nothing to sew white blouses and shirts from, but I wanted to look elegant and neat.

Hats, so popular in the late 30s, first rapidly decreased in size, and then completely gave way to scarves, berets, headbands and turbans. In addition, these hats were also very practical, because women were not always able to maintain their hair in proper condition.

Cosmetics have become an unaffordable luxury. However, a replacement was found in the form of “naturel” products: for example, Italians tinted their eyebrows with burnt wood or bone, and colored vegetables and wine became a substitute for lipstick.

Ingenuity had to be shown not only in choosing and wearing hats and finding replacements for cosmetics, but also in creating the outfits themselves. It was almost impossible to get new things, and this fact in wartime leads to the spread of second-hand and hand-made clothing. Magazines proclaimed the fashion for “patchwork dresses” made from several old clothes. Created with government support in the UK, the fashion magazine “Make and Mend” advised how to make your own jewelry from bottle caps, corks and cassette reels. The shortage of materials and things led to the fact that a conservative women's suit, with a jacket and skirt of the same color and texture, could consist of a top and bottom, sewn from fabrics of different types and colors. Women also saved money on stockings by simply drawing a neat black line on their legs with a pencil.

However, military deprivations and restrictions forced the imagination to work not only ordinary women, but also many designers, and pushed to create new silhouettes and use new materials that responded to the spirit of the time. For example, at the very beginning of World War II, the Frenchman Robert Piguet and the British Edward Molyneux created coats with hoods and pajamas, positioning them as clothing “for shelters.” Elsa Schiaparelli presented warm corduroy suits with voluminous pockets and overalls, and shoe and accessory manufacturers added large bags that could hold gas masks and shoes with comfortable low heels. To save genuine leather For military needs, heels and soles of shoes began to be made of wood, and the uppers were made of suede or other materials.

The young Italian Salvatore Ferragamo was especially successful in this, creating futuristic shoe models from straw, felt, leatherette, hemp and even cellophane. Guccio Gucci, who had already become famous by that time, experiencing interruptions in the supply of usual quality materials, introduced linen, hemp, and bamboo into the production of bags (as a result, in 1947 the famous leather bag with bamboo handle).

One of the revolutionary inventions in fashion in the 40s was nylon. The first stockings made of nylon were presented to the public in 1940, and later they began to make underwear from it. The widespread use of nylon was facilitated by the shortage of silk - during wartime it was used mainly for the manufacture of parachutes, maps and bullet bags.

After the capture of Paris by the Nazi army, some designers, such as , emigrated to the States, some simply closed their boutiques, like . However, Hitler's plans included keeping Paris as a fashion capital that would cater to the German elite. And many fashion houses worked during wartime - among them Lanvin, Balenciaga, Rochas, Nina Ricci, Jacques Fath and others.

Designers had to succumb to the influence of Nazi culture: the ideal of a German woman in the 40s was considered a strong and athletic woman who could work in the fields and raise children. Hence the emergence of new motifs taken from peasant and medieval costumes: came into fashion floral prints on dresses, embroidery on blouses, checkered hunting suits and wide-brimmed straw hats. The image of a beautiful peasant woman picking flowers in an open field has become a favorite among fashion magazines.

Since the occupation of Paris, the fashion vector has moved to the USA. American women, who made up the bulk of the clientele of French haute couture in the pre-war years, contributed to the rapid development of their own fashion industry and the widespread distribution of ready-to-wear clothing - pret-a-porte.

For example, Claire McErdell introduced a line of practical and at the same time innovative sportswear with a simple cut made from cotton and wool fabrics, and also became the progenitor of the idea of ​​a capsule wardrobe.

: little couture dresses

After the war fashion industry slowly recovering from shock. In 1945 the Syndicate high fashion presented a project for a clothing show “Fashion Theatre”. The most interesting models of the latest collections of Parisian couturiers were demonstrated in reduced size on miniature mannequins 70 cm high. Over the course of a year, the exhibition was presented in 9 major cities in the world, which helped restore the authority of haute couture. In the same year, Pierre Balmain opened his first own boutique. The war was over and fashion was expected big changes.

In 1946, the new era was marked by the first “big bang” - the presentation of the bikini swimsuit, created by Louis Réard and named after the Bikini Atoll. The second fashion “explosion” was caused by Christian Dior in 1947, presenting to the world his new look collection, in which he presented

The beginning of the 40s of the last century was overshadowed by war and severe social upheavals, so the development of cultural phenomena, including fashion, was dictated by harsh circumstances. At this time, not only people’s views on clothing and presenting themselves with it changed, but also the worldview of society.

The 40s of the twentieth century were marked by the rise of industrial production, which brought practicality and durability of things back into fashion. In addition, since 1940 there has been a ban on the excessive use of cotton, leather, and silk not for military needs. Special coupons were allocated for the purchase of viscose, which is why many people began to alter old clothes Houses with my own hands. Thus, minimalism was forced to become the main trend, and the absence of complex decor and draperies became the main features of fashion in the fifth decade of the twentieth century. There was always a shortage of fabric, so the length of the skirts became shorter every year. In addition, there were regulations that indicated the amount of fabric that could be spent on the production of a particular item. Up to 4 meters of fabric could be used to sew a coat, and up to 1 meter for a blouse. Natural fabrics increasingly began to be replaced by artificial ones, since there were no significant restrictions on them.

If we talk about the dominant meaning of certain trends in the modern sense of the word, it will be the military style. The main women's outfit was a suit of a laconic cut with a short skirt. The jacket had square shoulders with shoulder pads, collars and cuffs were exclusively white, and the belts were made to look like military ones. The most fashionable color became khaki, and fabrics were chosen preferably with small patterns. A new clothing model appeared - a shirt dress, and for the first time designers offered women a sporty style. The emphasis was placed on the waist with the help of belts that were tightened on dresses or wide-shouldered jackets. Thus, the overall appearance was more reminiscent of a military uniform than a woman's outfit.

In the second half of the 40s, the situation changed dramatically. With the end of the war, the regulations on the permissible amount of fabric ceased to apply. Society is tired of the military style, which has dominated all spheres of life for a long time. Designers returned to elongated wide skirts and dresses, loose blouses, flounces and decorativeness in general. IN right time Christian Dior entered the fashion arena and offered women exactly what they wanted.

Accessories also went through a number of changes in the 40s. Elegant little hats soon disappeared from the wardrobes of fashionistas, and they were replaced by wide-brimmed hats and turbans. Bulky hats completed the minimalist look. They began to wear a turban very often. The main goal was to completely hide the hair, which the turban successfully accomplished. The turban was made from leftover fabric and did not require special tools to make it, which made the headdress accessible to the majority. Due to the shortage of leather, shoes with thick cork soles came into fashion, popularized by the Brazilian actress Carmen Miranda. Cosmetics disappeared from the shelves for some time, which is why women began to use all kinds of materials to replace them.

In the early 40s of the twentieth century fashion trends were dictated not by designers and stylists, but by social upheavals and economic circumstances, which could not but be reflected in the style that was popular at that time. Due to the lack of fabric, skirts became narrower and shorter, and blouses became fitted. Female image more and more resembled a military uniform. It was possible to decorate the image only thanks to accessories that were not subject to such strict rules. But at the same time, the fifth decade of the twentieth century can safely be called a decade of contrasts. If in 1940-1945 the military style dominated, then immediately after the end of the war corsets, wide and long skirts, loose blouses and flounces returned to fashion. This contrast confirms the function of fashion as a social phenomenon to respond to situations that occur in the world around us.

The feminine essence would not be the same without constant changes in mood and appearance. The style of clothing serves not only to impress your appearance, but also leaves a certain imprint on your manners.
Agree that the day you put on an elegantly feminine dress in retro style, you will feel completely different from the day you put on your favorite ripped jeans and an alcoholic T-shirt.
Let's figure out what the main features of the retro style of the 40s are, and how to dress to accurately fit into your chosen look. Main features and characteristics of the retro style of the 40s
- Lack of decorative elements, and especially in the early forties;
- Accessories are in short supply and the simplest buttons are often covered with fabric, sometimes in contrasting fabric;
- General militarization in the early 40s: “broad shoulders on jackets and narrow skirts;
- Fabrics in gray, blue and black;
- Checked and plain fabrics, floral patterns and polka dots; Silhouette one-piece dresses;
- A-line skirts;
- White collars and cuffs on dresses and blouses;
- They tie their hair with a scarf - there is no money for hats. Turbans are in fashion;
- Wide trousers, sometimes shortened;
- In 1947, Christian Dior presents his famous New Look collection. Asceticism is being replaced by times of “wasteful luxury.” The image of a feminine seductress is coming back into fashion. The waist is cinched, and the full skirt makes the hips even more rounded. Great attention is paid to accessories, decorations and decorative elements.

Retro 40s clothing
Fashion in the 1940s was bound to be significantly influenced by the Second World War; girls and women try on military uniforms. The military style is breaking all records of popularity and... they look no less feminine than always.

Girls of the 40s also folded their lips like a duck :)
In the forties, skirts and dresses sharply lose length. The shoulders of jackets are becoming wider, but skirts and dresses, on the contrary, are sharply narrowing. It was the forties - or more precisely, 1947, when Christian Dior presented his New Look collection to a war-weary public - that gave the world a narrow, but always relevant pencil skirt. True, if a modern pencil skirt can be any color, then the war-shadowed 40s dictated black, gray and blue colors.

Decorative elements have been postponed until better times. What kind of draperies, lace and other decorations can there be if every meter of fabric counts and can be useful at the front? I also had to forget about lapels and lapels. For weekend outfits, only small floral prints or polka dots were considered acceptable. On weekdays they wore formal suits - plain or checkered.

Retro 40s style: casual suits
In wartime, fashionistas are no longer interested in new elegant, flirty hats, and if they do exist, they are “remnants of luxury.” The same goes for white fabric for a blouse - it is in great short supply in Europe. White collars and cuffs come to the aid of fashionistas, see photo:

Retro style is a new classic
We declare with full responsibility: throughout the 2000s, the retro style of the 40s, 50s or 60s has been played by at least ten designers in their shows. And if in the spring and summer fashion season 2015 borrowed polka dot dresses with a full skirt from the New Look style (for example, designer Barbara Tfank), then in the autumn-winter 2015-2016 light hand creative director of the Chanel Fashion House, the trend will be white collars and cuffs in the retro style of the mid-40s.

But don't take our word for it: check it out and see for yourself.
