French Fashion : World War II

  In the world war II, Most women wore at or near knee-length, with simply-cut blouses or shirts and square-shouldered jackets. Popular magazines and pattern companies advised women on how to remake men's suits into smart outfits, since the men were in uniform and the cloth would otherwise sit unused. Eisenhower jackets became popular in this period. Influenced by the military, these jackets were bloused at the chest and fitted at the waist with a belt.


 So, this is the common look from the 1930-1945 era, The World War II.
Because many fashion houses closed during occupation of Paris during World War II, so a lot of them who evacuated used this kind of style. Simple and keep them stay alive from the cold winter night.


How To get the Look :

1) The Formal Vintage Shoes

Slip-on shoe but the formal & vintage one. Usually used with grey/white socks *not stockings* 
because it'll get slippery when you walk. Socks used to prevent your foot got blister.

The vintage double breasted coat usually have a thick-wool material, different from the modern style which's more to the thin-fabric material. Don't be wrong.
