The beginning of the 1910s saw elements of the previous decade's fashions carry over into the new century. However, World War I had a profound effect on society and culture, significantly slowing down sartorial evolution. The S-shape made popular in previous decades softened, with skirts beginning to taper and shorten, and the empire waist coming back into vogue. War time meant clothing simplified even further come the mid decade, as utilitarian attire became more and more necessary. After the war ended, simple styles continued and a barrel like silhouette emerged, which would later evolve into the drop waist style synonymous with the 1920s. Outfit details under the cut.
