TARTAN FASHION - 1930s

1930s Fashion

See below for a collection of vintage images showing the influence of Scottish tartan patterns, on the fashionable set, in the 1930s.

The glamour of the 1920s did not completely disappear after the Great Depression.

 

Women wore dresses and kept their hair close to their head. Fur was in and so were floral patterns. Makeup was chic and shoulder pads were very important until the late 1930s.

Although hats were still popular for women, they were gradually becoming less popular.
