The car is a good invention until the extent of it polluting the planet. The car has been thouroghly improved throughout the decades such as the fact that they are now lower longer and wider.

We listened on the RADIO to the "Fireside Chat" with FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt). We also listened to soap operas, comedy shows, and news on the RADIO. We played cards after supper and read books. More kids were born to married couples during those years too, so use your imagination on that.

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 included

1944 Embellished Toe Heels.

1944 Reptile Skin Pumps.

1940s Black Oxford Shoes.

1940s reproduction Oxford shoes by Royal Vintage

1944 Walking Oxford Shoes.

1948 Sling-back Wedge Shoes.

The fashion of hairstyling included making a high puff at the front of your hair and leaving the rest loose. There were bows and flowers used excessively while styling one's hair.

We will see that many of these fashion trends are not a part of the present fashion society anymore but that is the thing about fashion. It never really goes away. It keeps coming back in one way or another.
