If you’re wondering what sets the 1940s apart from say, the 1930s, then here are a few key styles that are distinctly “1940s” and can be easily adopted into your wardrobe:
- Wear short vintage dresses and cocktail dresses
- Emphasize your hour-glass shape by the clothes you choose (accentuate the shoulders and hips)
- Don’t be afraid to choose pastel colours and floral designs
- Try wearing platform wedge shoes
- Go for ruffled skirts, full skirts and frills
- For a masculine look, roll up your jeans and wear oversized shirts and sweaters
- Style your hair wavy and apply red lipstick
To incorporate a little bit of “Anne” into this new look, why not add a spray of Avonlea Fragrance or some pieces from Marilla’s Jewelry Box?
