The 1940s- The star-spangled girl (jan 1, 1940 – dec 1, 1940)
Description:
In this era, due to World War II, military shoulders (broad, boxy, and aggressive) become the new look; shoulder width was particularly emphasized and having a small waist. In particular, advertisements began to tell women how they could avoid a too-skinny look; cases of eating disorders started to become common.
