From 1914 to 1918 I see no major changes. The bra was patented in 1914 I think, but it was not commonly worn until after the war. In the 1920's followed an incredible period of decadence with pinstripe suits, snap brim hats, and flapper dresses. Only the World War 1 trench coat remained apparently, judging by old movies. In the 30's came the Great Depression, and anyone who was dressed was in style.


I can think of only two examples of how World War 2 affected fashion, and both pertain to women's fashion. First, dress lengths which had lowered in the 30's were raised in the 40's (although not as high as the 20's) to conserve cloth for uniforms and other military essentials. Second, many women adopted pants for their new factory jobs, and they have been worn by women ever since.


Toward the end of the war, nylon replaced silk for stockings, a possible by-product of the war, but I do not know. All I know is that parachutes were once made of silk, and later they were made of nylon.
