EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the roaring twenties with this elegant and practical outfit for a lady motorist, as featured in a 1919 photograph from Dunhill's catalog. The ensemble comprises a sleek leather jumper in a dark penguin grey shade, broken up by touches of crimson velvet, adding a pop of color to the monochromatic look. The jumper is paired with a grey suede double breasted coat, providing both style and warmth for those chilly car rides. Completing the look is a becoming Dutch leather bonnet, designed to keep the wind and rain at bay while on the open road. Dunhill, known for its high-quality leather goods, also offered a range of motoring accessories including gloves to ensure a comfortable grip on the wheel and bespoke car mascots for a personalized touch. This fashionable yet practical outfit reflects the spirit of the era, where women embraced their newfound freedom and independence, and the automobile became a symbol of modernity and progress. The 1920s were a time of experimentation and innovation in fashion, and this outfit is a testament to the unique and stylish clothing choices of the time. The photograph captures the essence of this moment in history, where fashion and motoring intersected, and the open road beckoned, inviting women to explore the world in their cars, dressed in the latest and most fashionable attire.
