When the economy goes well the skirts are shortened

Does women’s skirts show us something about the economy of a country? Yes!

« Why is Gen Z so cursed Puritan? Why are you twenty years old and wearing Loro Piana?  » Wonders in a video in Tiktok A obviously impaired young woman. Then, a popular usage of this app is called « Bimbo University » or otherwise the University of Women’s University.

« This is because of the theory of aid. When the economy goes well, the skirts are shortened, but when the skirts are in recession, the skirts become longer and longer. Here’s an example: We all know the flaps of the 1920s, but you know it was an immediate response to Gibson girl, who was the beauty model of 1890? He was wearing corsets to have a tiny waist, he was modest and low -key, belonged to the upper class, he was educated, but he wanted to become someone’s wife. « 

At this point you probably wonder: But how is the ideal of the timid and wise girl linked to the economy? The panic of 1893, an economic chaos caused first in New York and then in dozens of states and lasted from May 1893 to November 1893, may be the answer.

To justify her theory, Gen-Z professor at the University of Bibo, quotes an excerpt from Wikipedia, which states: « The 1893 panic was a period of economic downturn in the United States. It began in February 1893 and expired eight months later, but its impact continued to be felt until 1897. It was the most serious economic crisis in history until the great downturn of the 1930s. « 

Good economy? Mini mini

On the opposite bank of the river with skirts, dresses, dances and housekeeping, they are the flapper girls with short hair and dresses that allow you to take a breath and dance as if there is no tomorrow. What was the state of America in the 1920s? It had a surplus of 42% and mass production, whose goodies reached every home. In 1926, the skirts reached the most mini version that had existed until then, marking the first time in western fashion where women’s knees were exposed.

In 1941 women’s skirts become shorter again -but mainly, more comfortable

We are moving to this point in the global economic downturn of 1929. Suddenly, being a flapper became expensive sports, and, somewhat magically, the maxi dresses that made your waist look like Bella Hadid.

« The foot was rising with the Stock Exchange- before falling during the Great Depression, » Marlen Komar said in an InStyle article.

History, Delivery and Length

In 1941 women’s skirts become shorter again -but mostly more comfortable. At that time, the United States took part in the battles of World War II. The men were recruited and the women started working in factories rapidly, and the skirts were slightly confused and becoming more practical.

Two decades later, in 1960, the economy is blossoming again: plump wages redefined the length of the skirt.

In its internet analysis, Bimbo University concludes a reasonable conclusion: « It’s not just a style of dress. There is a reason behind people’s tendency to become more conservative when the economy is at a miserable level. When you have money in the bank you take more risks. You will express your opinion more at work, because there are so many more if you are fired (…) but when the economy is in recession you prefer to stay in security. In a more general climate of uncertainty, you choose the certainty. And what is more certain than tradition? «
