A lot of Date Night outfits are the same now compared to the 1920s. A lot of times they wore shawls which is what we call kimonos, they’re the thin, sometimes sheer fringy, loose cardigan type style jackets. We would wear those just as an everyday accessory but they only wore them on special occasions. They wore them out at night when going to nicer places. This was more of the boho chic inspired style. Other women got by with nice dresses and cute shoes. It mostly depended on preference. Today most of us don’t go around wearing dresses, we usually wear leggings, boots, a nicer top, and jewelry of some sort. They sometimes also added scarfs to make themselves look nicer and more put together all around. We all wear scarfs like it’s no big deal. We wear them to stay warm outside, but we also wear them as an everyday thing too. There are printed ones that you can wear with jeans and a shirt but back then they were all more elegant looking with dresses and nice outfits.
