1920s Women's Pantsuit

Brown is the color that makes this 1920s women's pantsuit feel like it stepped out of a country-house weekend: a sleeveless V-neck waistcoat that buttons down the front, paired with high-rise trousers cut to the ankle. Bring your own blouse, as none comes with it. You will find more period looks in our 1920s outfits.

Autumn Outfits Built on a Brown Pantsuit

Brown loves the textures of fall. Layer a cream turtleneck or a striped collared shirt under the waistcoat, add brogues or Oxford-style flats and a tan fedora, and you are dressed for a pumpkin farm visit, a book club or an October theater matinee. Swap in a silk-like satin blouse in rust or mustard for Thanksgiving dinner.

Sizing the Brown Pantsuit for a Good Fit

The trousers have an elastic waist and a high rise, so they sit at your natural waist and flex a little as you move. The waistcoat is single-breasted with a regular fit. Sizes run S to XXL; compare your bust, waist and hips with the chart on this page and pick the size that matches your largest measurement.

Brown 1920s Pantsuit FAQ

What did women wear in the 1920s?

Mostly drop-waist dresses with hemlines that rose toward the knee by mid-decade, cloche hats and T-strap shoes. Trousers were rarer but growing, especially for sport and leisure, which is the side of the decade this pantsuit draws on.

Is brown a true 1920s color?

Yes. Earthy browns, tans and camels were common in daywear and sporting clothes of the era, alongside navy and gray.

What comes in the set?

The waistcoat and the trousers. A white, cream or striped shirt looks best with the brown.
