1920s-based Outfit: School outfit



Outfit number one (based on the image on the far left) is the Outfit you can wear to Class:

1920s School Outfit

Details: Drape-pocket Cardigan ($23) from newlook.co.uk, Colorblock Trim Tube ($38) ardenb.com, A-Line Jersey Skirt ($25) yesstyle.com, Michael Kors Black Suede 'Emily' T-Strap Loafers $42 bluefly.com, Black 'Mondrian' tote Work Bag $49 debenhams.com, Panther Belt $33 topshop.com, John Lewis Lightweight Scarf Ivory/Black $25 johnlewis.com

This outfit imitates the loose-looking image of the 1920s woman: slouchy top loose skirt. Overall, a very relaxed sort of look. I took away the hat because (frankly) it looks rather bizarre to be wearing a hat to one of your classes. I added the lightweight scarf to emphasize the lightness and frivolity of the outfit. One important thing to remember when wearing this is that you are not going to a costume party. I did my best to make this outfit as modern as I could. But the best way for you to really make it look Jazz-Age-Flapper-like is not by wearing the clothes but by carrying the feeling with you of being "light".
