Exercising and being fit wasn’t as big in the 1920s as it it now. Women didn’t really have a huge selection of clothes to wear for when they did want to be active (even though they didn't really have a lot of sports to play). When women did play sports they played golf, horse riding, swimming at the beach, tennis and skiing. For golf they wore tailored blouses and skirts, much like business wear. Eventually they expanded to wearing tweed jackets so that their clothes wouldn't tear when they swung. For horse riding they wore hard hats, jodhpurs, riding or hacking jackets or sometimes skirts When they went to the beach they were very limited. They wore what is known as beach pyjamas which consisted of trousers and a casual shirt. For tennis they wore long skirts and restrictive shirts at first but eventually they expanded to short skirts and even shorts at one point. They also ditched the hat so that they could actually see what was going on. For skiing they wore “ Long Norwegian trousers with cuffed hems were worn with short boxy jackets with wide shoulders that accommodated sweaters beneath them.”
