The twenties was when many landmarks and accomplishments the american people faced and conquered. Examples are the prohibition, suffrage for women, and the growth and start of the mob, all of them being points in the american culture that will not be forgotten. One of the more prominent aspects of the twenties, were the clothing that people wore in the time. The most prominent aspect of the clothing at the time was that one could instantly tell what class one person is in. Just by wearing specific clothing, one can tell the difference between a wealthy man or a lower class man. The average price of wearing clothes of the upper class comes around to 350 dollars at the time.This price would be around to a few thousand dollars today. That is just one set of clothes, where as the average wealthy person would have sets and sets and sets of this clothing. Clothing in the twenties was not as revealing as of now. Many women wore dresses that did not show cleavage, wore hats and wore very large fur coats. It was not needed to show skin in order to be perceived as beautiful in the twenties. The image of women was not as shallow and demanding as today, and involved more elegance, than body shape.
