What’s in? Women didn't really shop specifically at one store but if there was somewhere where you could buy shorts skirt and show more skin they were all for it. In the 20s women began to want to show more skin. They wanted their arms to be able to show and also wanted there legs to be visible. With their legs and arms being ‘free’ and visible it made it easier for them to dance. Dancing was what everything was about back then. Showing arms didn't cause to much of a fuss but it wasn’t very well liked either. People thought women should be kept completely covered up. If you thought people were crazy about a little arm showing then you better prepare yourself for how ridiculous people were over women showing their knees. Women couldn't dance with it all covered, it made it hard to move around. With clothing being made shorter and smaller it made women feel more free by being able to ‘breath’. Now days we wear tank tops and short shorts everyday of summer and no one gets questioned. The styles truly have changed since the 1920s.
