The 20 Most Common Fashion Trends & Fads in 1920’s

The world of fashion always presents to us new trends and fads that catch our eyes and encourage us to follow them. But before talking more about these fads and trends, we need first to know the meaning of the word “fads” and the relation between this word and the word “trends”. Both of the words fads and trends refer to new and interesting ideas that are presented by designers to allow the customers to change their style and follow other things which are more fashionable. The difference between the two words is created by the period of time in which the new ideas last. The word “fad” which is also referred to as a craze is used to refer to the new fashion ideas that spread among people quickly and become popular but they last for a short period of time as they gradually disappear or become a regular thing that exists in the society.

On the other hand, the word trend refers to the fashion ideas that people are interested in and follow for a long period of time unlike fads which quickly fade. Fads are difficult to be tracked because they quickly disappear but trends can be easily tracked because they last for enough period of time that make them easily observed. Sometimes the trends of the past are used by current designers as an inspiration for renewing the trends that we already have and for presenting new ideas in the world of fashion to customers who differ in their tastes.

Some of the latest fashion trends that are presented in the new year are inspired by what was presented in the last years whether it is in the 1950’s or 1920’s. If you do not have any idea about the fads and trends that were popular in the 1920’s and 1950’s, take a look at the following fads and trends that are taken from the past.
