The fashion trends in the 1940s were inspired by the masculine touch. There were padded shoulders in the dresses of the ladies with A-line skirts going down to the knees. The shoes were mostly flat pumps with little or no heel. These trends are not found today in present fashion stores. Now, the trends have drastically changed over the past few years and have become more casual and trendy. Now women prefer to wear sleeveless and off the shoulder dresses. So the trend of padded sleeves is no more. Also, that trend was inspired by menswear so women wanted to ignore it. Back in the 1940s, short knee-length skirts and A-line dresses were the most important fashion trend. Most of the women celebrities wore them. A line-dresses are still in fashion today but not so much. Now, women prefer to wear maxis and tops. The fashion trends have become more modern and also more revealing. This is also because women want to look trendy and revealing now. They are broad-minded and want to be independent choosing to wear whatever they want. This is why and how fashion trends have changed from the 1940s.
