The decade started with the heartbreaking effects of the World War II that started a year before, in 1939. The fashion designers worked hard to keep the fashion trends as lively as possible while still making them practical considering the upsetting situation due to war. Hollywood remained to be the biggest inspiration for 1940s fashion, like the previous decade. The fashion trends of this era circled around creating a more glamorous yet free appearance of the women, and masculine, flamboyant, and important appearance of men.
