1916 was right in the middle of World War I. Women's clothing was undergoing an incredible revolution during this time period. Paul Poiret's "harem" look, introduced around 1…909, brought in loose garments, trousers for women (shocking!), and a myriad of Asian influences. These quickly gained popularity with women who were used to the restriction and suffocation of corsets, petticoats, and cumbersome hats dripping with decorations. Combined with the practical mentality of a war, these lead to the styles that would eventually become the 1920s flapper. The mid-1910s were marked by a natural waist, usually with a wide belt, an a-line or full skirt falling to the ankles, and 1/2 or full sleeves for day. Both dresses and separates were worn, blouses and jackets often featured a peplum. Shoes were worn with a 1-2" Louis (flared) Heel. Hair was worn long, in curls and was generally put into an up-do by most adult women. Hairstyles varied, but were generally worn closer to the head, influenced by Regency and the Classical hairstyles of Ancient Greece. Hats were quickly becoming smaller on the whole. Though wide brims were still seen from time to time, generally hats were less decorated and flamboyant than they had been before the war. Evening gowns followed the styles of day-wear, but were known to be sometimes worn without sleeves. Evening frocks often featured layers of lace or chiffon, as well as ruffles or ribbons. Men's fashion didn't change much in this period. The three-piece suit was the norm, except that jackets became shorter and the tail-coat was falling slowly out of vogue with younger crowds. (MORE)
because World War One was being fought from 1914 to 1918 There were no Olympic Games in 1916 due to World War I. The 1916 Games were cancelled due to World War I. The erm "ca…ncelled" is incorrect. Olympic Games are never cancelled, since an Olympiad is a period. The Olympic Games of the VI Olympiad in 1916 were not "celebrated". The term to use is "not celebrated". The answer shozld be: "The 1916 Berlin Olympic Games were not celebrated because of WW I." (MORE)
