Red lips, heavily made-up eyes, short hair, a long string of pearls, dresses just below the knee with a bare back. It fleppershy - stylish girls 20s. Their main goal - it is a struggle against all that was accepted in society. First fleppershy struggled against their Victorian mothers.



So, as already written, ladies fought against everything that was made, and lived to the fullest. But they do nothing does not deny - achieving the right to work and be independent, girls can be said to live the way you want them. Driving a car, use of alcohol, drugs, smoking, listening to scandalous (!), Jazz and free love (well, basically - that still need to be happy?).

It was then in vogue - with a light hand fleppersh - entered the so-called petting parties - parties where women allowed men to fondle himself quite frankly, not leading, however, to the case to the bitter end.

The words "necking" and "petting" replaced the old-fashioned "kissing" and "touching". Flepper made an incredible revolution in gender relations. For the first time a woman could not stay with a man alone - without a chaperone. They could, for example, to make a road trip together. And the man had not then marry a disgraced companion. It flepper coined the word "dating" - go on dates, not necessarily implying marriage. Flepperskie mothers were horrified.

The corset was perceived as "the shackles of a woman" and from it just decided to get rid of - there are no fine lines, it should be straight and not convex, that is, women sought to resemble the 15-year-old boys (do not you think that we are back in the 20th century? ). The ladies also have been deprived of "the underdog" nature, we have been forced to wear a special corset that "flattened" the chest.

For fashion figure girl flepper involved in sports and dieting. On the brightly painted party, dress clothes, "tube", which bares the back and it is desirable to the last vertebra. Since dresses became shorter, the knees become ruddy, wear socks with different patterns. It was the most fashionable haircut "page", which was of silent film actress Louise Brooks:

and Queen Astrid of Belgium:



Now back again to face. The most-fashionable lips - it's tiny lips with bright lipstick. Ideally, lipstick still had some exotic name, like "bychsya blood." Ideal her mouth called "Cupid's bow": the bending of the upper lip resembles an undulating handle a bow, and the bottom - stretched string.

The last and, I think, the most significant and interesting element of style - a hat bell.



At this hat head lady just sinks. But it appears the mysterious appearance - eye can not see and gentlemen, well, different. We can only guess what is on the mind of this fatal freedom-loving ladies. But apart from that there is a plus and minus, which also can be easily attributed to the caption "benefits." To see what's going on, she had to go, his head thrown back. Yes, it's uncomfortable, but on the other hand - it underscores the pride.

But everything has its end - the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange has completed a small but very soveobraznuyu era of the 20th century. Now we just have to consider the pictures, which show women who have committed, a small but significant upheaval in the fashion and lifestyle of the fair sex.
