35 Elegant Photos That Defined Women’s Fashion in the 1930s

   

The 1930s was an era of classic elegance and sophistication in women’s fashion. From the iconic bias-cut gowns of the era to the tailored suits and wide-brimmed hats, women’s fashion in the 1930s was defined by elegance and refinement.

 

 
 
The 1930s brought with it a new ideal body type of women. An evolution of the boyish look of the 1920, the ideal ’30s woman was tall and slender with a very small waist and narrow hips.
 
Because the average woman did not necessarily have this slim figure with a narrow waist, a trend of puffed or padded sleeves came into fashion. Butterfly sleeves, caplets, and large collars were all used to make the waist seem slimmer.
