Despite the 1940's being mainly focused on WWII, the decade didn't disappoint in the fashion industry. The forties was an era of formality and style for both men and woman's fashion. Even with the decrease of materials (eg. nylon, wool, leather etc) it still remains an important decade of style in the 20th century. Below are the key looks I personally believe represent such inspiring years.
1. Bolero Jackets
2. Pussybow Blouse
3. Trench Coat
4. Pencil skirts
5. Halterneck top
6. The headscarf
7. Plaid & Gingham print
8. Floral tea dress
