Answer:
The
following points state how the two world wars responsible in bringing changes
in women' clothing
(i) Many European women stopped wearing
jewellery and luxurious clothes. As upper class
women mixed with other classes, social barriers were
eroded as women began to dress in similar ways.
(ii) Clothes became shorter during the First World War out
of necessity. By 1971, many women were employed in ammunition factories and
they wore a working uniform of blouse and trousers with scarves.
(iii) Women's working uniform later became khaki overalls
and caps. Bright colours were replaced by sober colours.
(iv) Women's clothes became plainer, simpler and shorter
giving them greater freedom of movement.
(v) Trousers became a vital part of Western women's clothing.
Most important, women took to cutting their hair short for convenience. A plain
and austere style came to reflect seriousness and professionalism.
