Late 1920s Pleated Skirts
Women in the 1920s weren’t always wearing dresses. The two-piece outfit – a skirt and blouse – became everyday clothing in an Art Deco lady’s closet.
The early twenties saw long column plaid skirts, followed by pleated mid-knee skirts in the mid-1920s (the Gatsby skirt era), and handkerchief hem chiffon skirts in the later years. Worn with a delicate sheer blouse for day wear, a beaded top for evenings, and a loose cardigan sweater for a sporty look, 20s skirts were the versatile and affordable fashion of the era. Thanks to a renewed interest in 20s fashion, the vintage pleated skirt has experienced a recent revival. Read more about the history of 1920s skirts here.
These new skirts have been selected for their authentic roaring 20s style. The recent trend of pleated skirts works perfectly for 20s outfits. Long and short, plus sizes and petite, casual or party skirts, we have it all! If you want to spice things up, go for the “new woman” look with a pair of wide-leg chiffon pants or beach pajamas. So chic! It’s easy to mix and match for your very own Great Gatsby inspired 20s look.
