Beautiful coordinated and accessorized outfits were a feature of 1920's ladies fashions. Hats, shoes, stockings, handbags, dresses and jewelry all came together in perfect harmony to create a unique and elegant style that can only be appreciated when seen in real-life or in color illustrations. The vibrancy is often lost in black and white photographs that typically showcase the era.
In the 1920's Shoes and stockings assumed a greater prominence now that they were more visible. Silk stockings in all the colors of the rainbow, often with patterns, were designed to match the coordinated outfits of stylish more wealthy women. Women of wealth often would drape themselves in beads, pearls, ruffles, and feathers as a symbol of their wealth.
