Save Daylight!

during the 1910's mant european countries starting adopting daylight savings time. america wasn't in favor of it but allowed states like New York to part take in it if they wanted to. quickly after many other states took the tradition and made it part off their calendars. this helped states like Arizona and New Mexico have shorter summers and kept it cooler. congress offically adopted Daylight savings time in 1915. it has been continued to be in effect till this day and is probably not going to be repealed at any time in history, its over all a better timing schedule.

fashion trends in 1910s for men

fashion trends for men 

The fashion revolution began in 1908 and brought a completely fresh look into the 1910s. The absurd, corseted shape of the 1910s woman became more natural during the 1910s, and clothing toned down its lavishness considerably. The "New Woman" that emerged in 1908 was more comfortable, more active, more educated, more independent, and more career-driven. Fashion changed little during WWI, but the mass-produced clothing industry soared in the post-war years. A larger variety of inexpensive clothing was available, allowing fashion to move away from the strict high-style clothing of the 1900s and into a market of quality, affordable clothing for all. Women continued to reject the antiquated notions of femininity, and an even larger reform in dress emerged at the end of the 1910s. By the end of the decade, men's fashions, too, would evolve into something more mainstream and more casual.
