What People Were Wearing the Year You Were Born
Let's embark on a 100-year street style journey, shall we?
Ah, throwback fashion—is there anything better? Actually, yes: When that throwback fashion reminds you exactly where you came from. Here, click through 100 years of street style, find the year you were born, and cringe/laugh/reminisce. You're welcome.
1916
This lovely Victorian lady would never get lost in a crowd with *this* hat.
1917
Can we just agree that if Beyoncé lived 100 years ago, this would definitely be a part of her wardrobe?
1918
The great-grandmother of the midi skirt makes its appearance in 1918, with the must- have accessory of the season: the pointy black umbrella.
1919
Nobody would be spotted at high tea without an umbrella, a wide-brimmed hat, or white gloves. Preferably, all three.
1920
For 1920, this thoroughly modern look is basically the 2004 equivalent of the Mean Girls miniskirt.
1921
Photographic evidence that the roaring '20s were the epitome of elegance.
1922
The woven skirt is a standout piece, but it looks even more chic coupled with the gloves that may or may not have inspired Lady Gaga's 2015 Oscar look.
1923
There's no such thing as too much fur, clearly.
1924
The fur hula hoop trend continues to grace the streets in 1924.
1925
These youthful ladies hit the town, modeling some flapper costume inspiration: beads, hats, and skirts your squad will be copying next Halloween.
1926
The bold bows, along with sassy pointy-toed pumps, tie these looks together.
1927
Between the sophisticated sun hats and the lace detailing on the skirts, 1927 is the year of garden-party chic.
1928
A pleated knee-length skirt can easily be paired with a Taylor Swift-approved bob and bold lip combo.
1929
Flowy pattern play and oversized floppy hats are the name of the game.
1931
These washerwomen expertly coordinate their on-trend looks, slaying those neck shawls along the way.
1932
Whoa, wait a minute...is that a pantsuit she's rocking? With the cinched belt detail, this is an impressively contemporary look for 1932.
1933
Structured, embellished shoulders complete these delicate looks, which might get you in the mood for a spot of tea and scones, TBH.
1934
This houndstooth ensemble just screams "step into my office."
1935
Throwing on a long fur coat and coordinating hat was clearly the move back in 1935.
