The flapper movement was a trend during the Roaring 1920s. The followers of the movement wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, and broke social and sexual norms. The bold and often wild behavior of flappers made them a lightening rod for controversy. This movement set the young people apart from the older generation. The look was inspired by actresses of the time and the follower's desire for independence. The flapper look was certainly a large part of the movement, but the lifestyle also included smoking cigarettes and driving cars.
