1914 - 1918
WARTIME WOMEN
World War I accelerated the trend toward less restrictive and decorative day wear as many women became accustomed to wearing practical uniforms or work wear.
The loss of male workers to the armed forces meant that women were employed as railroad porters, bus drivers, train conductors, window cleaners, and even welders.
Women also became members of voluntary forces, which were organized and dressed along military lines.
Most of these occupations came with their own uniforms, though these often had to be bought.
Some garments, such as the “British Warm” greatcoat worn by officers during World War I, was adopted as fashionable wear by both men and women.
FOOTWEAR
The war had a big impact on fashion, changing the way women perceived themselves and how they were seen by others.
Many more women were now doing manual work, requiring practical, durable clothing such as pants and sturdy, sensible footwear.
Women needed shoes and boots that were comfortable enough to wear all day, and strong enough to withstand the elements.
British shoemakers Clarks produced boots that were waterproof as well as “dainty.”
The low heel and welting made them practical, while their narrow fit and neat eyelet closures kept them feminine.
WARTIME FASHION
The cover girl of The Gentlewoman wears the uniform of a US male soldier: campaign hat with pinched crown, issue shirt with large pockets, breeches, and puttees (a bandage covering for the lower leg).
After the US entered the war in April 1917, US women took part in military service though their uniforms usually included skirts.

战时女装
第一次世界大战加速了日间服饰向更少拘束与装饰的趋势发展，许多女性开始习惯穿着实用的制服或者工作服。
当男性工作者转移至了武装军队，意味着女性被雇佣成为铁路搬运工，巴士司机，火车调度，窗户清洁工甚至焊工。
女性也同样成为志愿军成员，这些军队沿袭着军事化的穿衣方式。
大多数职业都有她们自己的制服，尽管这些制服通常需要购买。
一些服饰，如第一次世界大战期间军官穿着的“英式温暖”大衣，是男性与女性皆可穿着的款式。
鞋履
这场战争对时尚产生了很大碰撞，她改变了妇女对自我的看法，以及她们被别人看待的方式。
有更多的女性当时是进行手工的工作，战时需要实用与耐用的服装，如坚固的裤子，合适的鞋履。
女性需要足够舒适的鞋子与靴子来应付一整天的穿着，并足够坚固耐用。
英国鞋匠Clarks生产的靴子防水同样也很“精致”。
低鞋跟使鞋履更实用，而狭窄的剪裁与整齐的线孔闭合使她们更女性化。
战时时尚
“绅士杂志”的封面女郎穿着一名美国男士兵的制服：运动帽与夹头帽，大口袋衬衫，马裤和裤子（小腿绷带）。
美国在1917年4月进入战争之后，美国妇女参加兵役，通常她们的制服包括裙子。
