This visual feast consisting of over 100 1930s fashion illustrations is a bonus to my popular article on how-to-date vintage clothing. I hope that this post will help with your fashion history research or be an inspiration for your vintage outfit ideas because let’s face it, there is nothing better than the 1930s styles.
Additionally, I created for you ten PDFs with over 600 illustrations depicting the fashion from January 1930 till September 1939. I hope you will appreciate the free gift that took me an entire week to finish. Sign up for my newsletter to receive free 30s fashion illustrations.
The main problem of the chic life is having the right clothes to wear in the temperature one happens to prefer at the time. In June you must have special clothes for London and Ascot. In January, you find yourself setting out for the Lido, with the proper nakedness to catch the sun. You may have to get some shooting togs for October in Scotland, and there are the proper evening clothes for playing roulette in Biarritz in March.
And Madame is attractive. No one, however jealous of her leisurely life, could dare to deny it. Sometimes she gets too fat or too thin. Sometimes she has nerves and develops wrinkles. But all of these things can be kept in shape by massage, facials, doctors, and whatnot. A group of chic women, beautifully dressed, in perfect taste for the occasion, clean and well-groomed, are about as seductive a picture as the heart could wish.
