Dapper Day inspiration by the decade [1920’s – 1990’s]

The organizers for Dapper Day define the word on the homepage.

Dapper: adj. A neat and trim appearance; very spruce and stylish.

‘Dapper’ doesn’t mean just vintage! We welcome all sophisticated fashions from vintage classics to contemporary chic!”

Before my first Dapper Day, I looked online for inspiration, unsure of what to expect. The only images that came up led me to believe that it was an event where people wore 1950s fashion. While there is nothing wrong with 1950s fashion, I had less than a day to plan my outfit and I couldn’t find anything in my closet that I could wear. Here’s some inspiration for an outfit and historically accurate makeup!


1920s
