The essence of the popularity of those years
Great-grandmother said that the female image begins with clean and well-groomed hair. Let's begin to dive into the history of fashion with hair.
There was not much in the Soviet Union, but fashion was always there. Hairstyle and haircut, it was possible to express even political views. For example, women who advocated for emancipation and equality, wore short haircuts, equating to men.
In Soviet times, “garcon” was the most popular haircut of the 40s. Girls of conservative views preferred to take care of the braids. It was possible to determine the political attitude of the woman and her worldview.
To compete with bold short-haired ladies, girls who did not want to cut off their hair, introduced the fashion for feminine, but sexy hairstyles. Great-grandmothers twisted curls on curlers, pieces of paper and ribbons and made baskets of braids. Fashion weaving survived the war. In the USSR, hairstyles for long hair in the style of the 40s are braids.
In America, braids were not popular, but the rollers of the hair became the difference between the women's hairstyles of the 40s. They twisted on the sides of the direct parting or slightly above the forehead. It was fashionable to decorate hairstyles with scarves: now it is at the peak of popularity.
It was fashionable to create waves on the hair with hot tongs. Note that the American did not bother with the length of the hair, so the standard for all the girls was hair that goes below the shoulders. It was more convenient to take care of them, it is more convenient to turn the rollers and twist the waves and keep the image light and well-groomed.
Relevance of the past
- Thanks to the work of stylists and couturier, the girls returned to the cultural and fashionable heritage and began to turn the rollers. Frequently in the Internet search lines were queries on how to do a haircut of the 40s and see photos of women's hair styles. On YouTube the laziest blogger did not share the video with the execution of hairstyles of this style.
- In addition to the rollers, scarves returned to fashion. The network laid out a lot of training videos on the shawl in the hair. The shawl is versatile and very feminine. The abundance of designs and sizes of scarves gives freedom of expression.
Image of things
If we talk about clothes, we note that fashion during the war period was more practical, than pompous. Ruffles, frills, puffy skirts, decorating with ribbons and expensive materials became a luxury and was considered as uncontrollable ignorant waste, diminishing the woman in the eyes of the man. This was the legacy of the 20s, when women fought for equality and emancipation.
In wartime there were laws for all spheres of life and for fashion:
- The war affected the lack of tissue. According to the restriction decree, flared skirts are prohibited, because a lot of fabric was used for sewing. Pencil skirts made from simple materials: flax, wool and cotton came into fashion.
- The military style of military has become fashionable. Women wore dresses, sweaters, blouses and jackets with broad shoulders, similar to the uniform of the military.
- Entered into fashion collars. An interesting fact: wearing stockings was fashionable, but almost impossible to get them. Therefore, resourceful ladies drew a pencil seam on the leg, and diligent young ladies drew even a grid.
- In the second half of the forties, the shortage of material and the lack of money became too obvious. People altered civilian clothing from military uniforms. Brown, bottle green and gray-blue colors have become fashionable. Those who had at least some money could afford clothes made of fabric with a print, although they were modest: peas or small flowers.
- In women's dresses guessed details of military uniforms: cuffs and patch pockets. A shirt dress was “invented”: practical and concise, complemented by a belt.
A distinctive feature of the make-up was strongly plucked eyebrows resembling a thin thread and red lips.
Men choice
Men were also trendy. It was easier for them to be fashionable during the war years: it’s enough not to take off the military uniform. Later, when the war ended, short jackets became fashionable under the uniform of military pilots. It was great to have a jacket with a sheep collar, but only a few were lucky.
From here begins the fashion for leather jackets and men's scarves, which were of an applied nature: the wind blew into the cockpit, and the army needed healthy fighters. Demand was a fabric of dark colors. Then the men wore baggy, skinny trousers with elongated jackets. Later, wide hats were added to the image.
As for the male hairstyles of the 40s, the men tried to resemble Rhett Battler - one of the main characters of "Gone With the Wind." During the war, it became difficult to comb and style hair, but they wanted to look stylish and beautiful. They cut their hair short at the sides and left their hair longer in the middle, combing it either back under the foil cap or forward to create a casual look of a brave soldier tired of feats.
