The war had much effect on fashion as clothes were in short supply and rationed. The government encouraged people to 'Make do and mend'. Older clothes were transformed into modern styles.
Many women wore short skirts and sensible 'flat heeled' shoes. It was very unusual to see women wearing trousers.
In 1940 various brands of leg make-up appeared on the market because of the short supply of stockings. Women drew seams with eyebrow pencil down the back of each leg to give the appearance of wearing stockings.

Fashion in the 1940's?
The 1940s seems a long time ago while that is not wholly the case. But if you compare the fashion trends of the time back then to the contemporary world, you will realize that it was actually really long ago because there has been such a major trend shift in the past few years.Fashion does not limit itself to clothing alone. Rather it extends wide to include footwear, jewelry, hair styling, etc. The clothing fashion of 1940s is said to be inspired from military outfits. The 1940s fashion began in a world of crisis and ended with the new bloom of fashion. The start of the fashion etiquette this year comprises dresses and skirts that were stitched being inspired from menswear. Puffed sleeves were a major and widely loved fashion trend at that time. The dresses were usually short frocks that reached down to the knees. Long gowns and maxis became a part of our fashion industry really later. Dresses, skirts and blouses were a major part of the fashion trends of 1940. All the dresses were stitched in slim-fitting. Since the clothing was inspired by the military so most of the outfits were adorned with buttons and pockets all over. There were knee-length A-line skirts with high waisted tops. There was no fashion of skin-tight jeans by then. The fashion of jeans was inspired by a high waist and wide-legged trouser style.The footwear included1944 Embellished Toe Heels.1944 Reptile Skin Pumps.1940s Black Oxford Shoes.1940s reproduction Oxford shoes by Royal Vintage1944 Walking Oxford Shoes.1940s Slingback Shoes.1948 Sling-back Wedge Shoes.The 1940s Two Tone Pumps.The fashion of hairstyling included making a high puff at the front of your hair and leaving the rest loose.
