How to Steal the Style of The 1920s.

How to Steal the Style of The 1920s.
Carly Jacobs

 

Match the colour of your handbag to your shoes and belt. How quaint.

 

Wear Chanel No. 5 – the signature fragrance of Marilyn Monroe created in 1921. She wore it to bed… and nothing else.

 

Drink whisky with ice and paint your fingernails and lips blood red.

 

 

Wear as many bangles that will fit on your wrist and carry a clutch bag. A delicious beaded one with nothing more than a lipstick inside.

 

Wear lingerie in gelati colours with little fruity garters.

 

 

Discover Egypt. Tutankhamen was the subject of fashion fascination and his head adorned many a clutch bag in the 20’s.

 

Use rouge.

 

Buy your man a cape and have him wrap it around you on chilly street light-lit nights.
