As I&#8217;ve stated in an <a href=\"https:\/\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/index.php\/2022\/02\/01\/capsule-wardrobe-concept\/(opens in a new tab)\">earlier article<\/a>, the concept of the capsule wardrobe didn&#8217;t really appear until the late Thirties. Even though we&#8217;re still more than ten years ahead of the times, we can still use Twenties clothing to create a great versatile wardrobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think, after looking at various photos of 1920s clothing, that women wore nothing other than one-piece dresses. This is simply not true, which is a good thing for those who want to incorporate a 1920s capsule wardrobe into their costuming. Suits appeared at the business office, for various sporting events, and at the train station. They came into use quite often during travel because they made it possible to pack few clothes for many different days and occasion. Surprise! The 1920s capsule wardrobe at work during vacation and travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, choose a suit as a foundation. It can be classic or faddish in styling, whichever you prefer. Either the suit above or the one below would prove a great starting point for a beginning 1920s wardrobe. All these photos date from 1922-1924, so they fit well together without trying to emulate the teenager &#8220;flapper&#8221; look. These are the clothes that real women wore in the Twenties before 1925. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"268\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"1656\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/index.php\/2022\/02\/22\/creating-a-1920s-capsule-wardrobe\/twenties-costumes-17-vlml\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-17-VLML.jpg?fit=268%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"268,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone SE (2nd generation)&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1645204053&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;160&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Twenties-Costumes-17-VLML\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-17-VLML.jpg?fit=126%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-17-VLML.jpg?fit=268%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-17-VLML.jpg?resize=268%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Woman in a double breasted business suit with long skirt. 1922-23.

The top example is more flirty and fun, while the bottom suit is more businesslike. Its jacket would work with a variety of skirts. Choose one that fits its intended wear. The best reconstruction in the world won&#8217;t work if you choose an after-five dress and all you attend are afternoon tea parties! You will look just a bit out of place wherever you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, assuming that you plan to live during the daylight hours, a simple suit gives you a matching jacket and skirt. You could choose any color, from peach to dark brown, or from dark green to blue. Make it a color you like, and that you can build a wardrobe around. Remember, it&#8217;s hard to match pinks and reds with like colors unless the fabrics were designed to go together. It can be done, but it takes time, patience, and fabric swatches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1658\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/index.php\/2022\/02\/22\/creating-a-1920s-capsule-wardrobe\/twenties-costumes-6-vlml\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-6-VLML.jpg?fit=470%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"470,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone SE (2nd generation)&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1645203651&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.014285714285714&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Twenties-Costumes-6-VLML\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-6-VLML.jpg?fit=220%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-6-VLML.jpg?fit=470%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-6-VLML.jpg?resize=429%2C584&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1920s striped skirt, almost ankle length, with a side front button and a small pocket placket at the right hip.\" class=\"wp-image-1658\" width=\"429\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-6-VLML.jpg?w=470&amp;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vintagelivingmodernlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Twenties-Costumes-6-VLML.jpg?resize=220%2C300&amp;ssl=1 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><figcaption>This skirt would look well made in either stripes as shown, or in a solid fabric.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This skirt blends well with the double breasted jacket.
