Flapper Hats 1920s Style

 Flapper hats make a great start to a roaring twenties Halloween costume. The 1920s era of the Flapper girl is typified by these dainty cloche style hats. Flapper clothing was very fashionable and was the new clothing style for the modern woman who was striding forward out of the very constrictive Edwardian fashions of the early part of the twentieth century.

The flapper dress style was typified by short skirts or pants and also for many women a  close cut short hairstyle. The nineteen twenties was a period of great change for women and their style of clothes was also changing drastically away from the old fashioned styles. Women were rapidly moving onward to face all the challenges and opportunities in both careers and sports which had been denied to them in earlier times.

Typically coats were made in a wrap around style which often fastened on one side. Flapper hats worn in the twenties were mostly dainty close fitting styles, often of the cloche type. The cloche was actually the most popular style of hat. This kind of hat was mostly worn by women who had a short hair style since it fitted in well with the new fashion of short hair. Flapper hats are a great beginning to a Halloween costume.
