- With the start of the decade came a sense of new freedom for women. The feeling of emancipation was due in part to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, giving women the right to vote. This was shown through their fashion and rebellion to conservative ideas.
- Women had their long hair cut or boyishly "bobbed" for freedom of movement and easy maintenance. They spurned the restrictions of corsets in favor of loose-bodiced tops that allowed maximum upper body movement and easier breathing. Early in the decade, hems boldly rose from ankle-length, or just above the ankle, to just below the knee, or mid-calf. With the new short skirts, hems no longer dragged in the dirt, and women could take longer strides. When dancing, a woman could kick and swing her legs without getting her skirt entangled in her shoes! During the previous decade, lingerie had progressed from whale-boned corsets and bustles that remolded a woman's body to underwear that reflected the natural form. During the 1920s, this trend continued as rubber girdles and brassieres came into fashion. Eventually, brassieres were made of more comfortable, breathable fabrics such as cotton, silk, and rayon (known as "artificial silk"). At that time, brassieres were meant to flatten a woman's breasts so that she could attain a boyish look. In 1923, Ida Cohen Rosenthal (1886–1973) introduced the more comfortable uplift brassiere through her company Maiden Form, which later became known as Maidenform. In addition, nude-colored rayon or silk stockings were worn above the knee and fastened with garters to a garter belt or girdle.
- Because during the 1920s women increasingly engaged in sports—golf, tennis, boating, swimming—designers were quick to provide them with fashionable outfits for these activities. Chanel created loose-fitting bell-bottom trousers to be worn while boating, and these pants quickly evolved into beach pajamas to be pulled over bathing suits on the Riviera or at Palm Beach. Women's swimsuits during the decade began as thigh-covering tight knit shorts topped either with sleeveless vests or with fitted knit tank tops, often striped at the breast or decorated with Cubist designs. In the later 1920s, knit maillots—similar to present-day one-piece suits but extended several inches down the thigh—became extremely popular. Often worn with a belt and rolled stockings or beach booties, these daring suits tended to stir outrage from the guardians of American public morality. Typical tennis and golf wear for women was pleated, knee-length skirts with sleeveless cardigans for tennis and sleeved cardigans for golf. White was the only acceptable color for tennis clothes.Women began having fun with accessories and started taking on new whimsical looks using cosmetics. They chose to wear T-strap pointed-toe shoes with one-to two-inch chunky heels. They often carried adorned metal cigarette cases and wore various styles of trendy jewelry. Women altered their facial features with cosmetics to imitate movie stars. Some completely plucked their eyebrows and redrew them in dark eyebrow pencil. They even wore thick black eyeliner to take on a sensuous look .
