During the war women recycled and reproduced new garments using old unwanted clothes as the media encouraged women to be home sewers. Vintage wear became very popular in the 1940s and women tried to create elegant styles without spending too much money. Collections of fashion houses during the war were of knee-length dresses and featured padded shoulders, fashion trends were mainly simple and practical in order to help women work and look elegant.
Hats became very popular during the war and women were able to use recycled older pieces of clothing, which otherwise would go to waste. Suites also became popular during the war as they were comfortable for women and easy to move in during work. Women normally curled their hair and wore bright lipstick to maintain their femininity.
