Why a feather headband is so typical of the 1920s
Flappers were the young women of the 1920s who broke with the strict fashion of the previous generation with short dresses, a bob and the Charleston. A band around the head with a feather or an ornament was part of their evening look and was usually worn low on the forehead. Precisely because of this, everyone immediately recognizes a flapper headband as 1920s, even if the rest of your outfit remains simple.
What makeup and jewelry go with a red flapper headband?
A red flapper headband calls for dark red lips, sharp black eyeliner and a long pearl necklace, the classic trio of a 1920s look. Choose lipstick in the same shade of red as the feather, and your hair and face will form a cohesive whole. White pearls match the pearl strands of the band, and a long necklace tied once around the neck gives that typical dangling effect. If you wear glasses, you can choose small round frames, which were widely worn at that time. Wear the band low on your forehead and style your hair curled or in a low bun, so that the feather stands freely upright.
