Discover how women dressed for winter between 1900 and 1960 in this in-depth look at the evolution of women’s winter fashion across six transformative decades.

This video explores how clothing, silhouettes, and materials changed in response to climate, daily life, and shifting social roles — from the long, layered skirts, heavy wool fabrics, and sturdy boots of the early 1900s, to the relaxed styles of the 1920s, the practical yet elegant winterwear of the 1930s, wartime restrictions of the 1940s, and the more structured, figure-defined silhouettes of the 1950s.

By examining original garments and historical references, this overview highlights how women balanced warmth, function, and style throughout the first half of the 20th century — and how these winter fashions continue to influence clothing today.

A great watch for anyone who loves vintage fashion, fashion history, retro hosiery, or historical clothing research.
