I was just looking at the Marc Jacobs Collection for this Fall 2008 upcoming, I think is a very simple way to dress, a pair of lace-up ankle booties, a nice coat, tights. I really liked it, some of them were wearing a hat.
The skirts at the beginning of the 20s were still long until 1924 were they became shorter, reaching mid-calf, actually the shortest skirts were just below the knee (nothing comparable with the ULTRA mini skirts from now, which I think if you combine them in a nice way, would do a nice outfit. Not wearing it just like that, at least not for me.) The evening dresses in the 20s were sleevless, with deep V or U shapped necklines. The most popular hair universally was short, and the ones with long hair wore it pulled back. Make up very obvious: red lips, powdered skin and dark eyes.
From the many pictures I've seen, women in the 20s wore hats, really nice ones, these inspired from Egypt, China, Japan and Russia. Headdresses including turbans, toques, kokoshniks and tiaras were reinvented as they say.

This are some of the comparisons I'm doing with the 20s clothes. and with the reinvented clothes in the Fall 2008 runaway.
The SHOES:
I will try to find better things to post later.
