1910s women’s daywear featured a mix of formality and practicality. Early in the decade, dresses had an Empire waist or S-bend silhouette with long skirts, often adorned with pleats or lace. By the mid-decade, looser, more comfortable designs emerged, with narrower skirts and simpler, more fluid lines. Fabrics included wool, cotton, and silk, with prints like florals and stripes.
Outerwear such as tailored coats with fur collars was common, and hats were large and elaborate. Accessories like gloves and belts completed the look. The war years brought more practical clothing, with simpler, durable fabrics and styles suited for women entering the workforce. The hobble skirt briefly appeared but was soon replaced by more functional options.
Daywear was characterized by elegance with an increasing focus on comfort and movement. Here below is a set of elegant photos that shows women in 1910s daywear.
