One of the most popular styles of blouses that were introduced in the 1920s was the jumper blouse. This particular garment was made from cotton or silk and sometimes was made with a sailor collar. It was meant to be worn over a skirt, reaching just below the hips and sometimes accompanied by a belt or sash.
Other blouses and shirts made in the 1920s were low-cut with a V-neck and sometimes were worn with chemisettes (fill-ins) attached to promote modesty.
Knit long-sleeve shirts with round collars and tank blouses were also popular during the 1920s, and men of this time often wore short-sleeved polo shirts. Of course, traditional dress shirts were worn for formal occasions as well, and sometimes men also wore plus fours (baggy knee pants) and bold-print knit sweater.
The 1930s marked the return of more feminine fashions once again. Therefore, for the most part blouses worn in this decade for women were either designed with a v-neck collar or made with a long bow attached that tied around the neck.

A shift in fashion took place during the 1940s during World War II. For instance, fabrics such as nylon and silk were replaced with the use of rayon and viscose for more formal dress.
Sometimes terry cloth, linen, and canvas were used as well, but mostly for leisure shirts. Generally speaking necklines were high, but occasionally they were off the shoulder.
Working women during the war wore military style shirts with button-up collars for more formal dress that resemble the utility shirts that women wore. However, women who were involved in the American Woman’s Auxiliary Corps. Usually wore the full war utility outfit.
After the war to the middle of the 1950s trends in women’s fashion changed again. By 1954 rounded necks on either sleeveless shirts or long sleeve shirts were often worn. Polo-necked shirts were also popular during this time, as well as bat-winged sweaters.
In the 1960s, ethnic print blouses, ribbed turtle neck sweaters, and boat-necked blouses were often worn. Classic white butterfly color shirts were worn on occasion as well, for either casual or semi-dressy occasions. Print-print shirts with striped or “wild” patterns were often worn as well during this time.
From the late 1960s to the mid-1970s new kinds of fashion were also born. New bright-colored shirts and blouses created with Psychedelic fashions were in during this time. Indian cheesecloth shirts and “flower power” clothing were also popular as well.
Space fashions were also popular during the late 1960s. Numerous types of clothes were made out of leather and plastic during these times. Similar fashions were then re-introduced in the 1980s, along with many new ones.
