Women Embrace the Hiking Craze: Shorts and Ankle Socks Take Center Stage in 1930". This print from 1933 captures a moment of fashion revolution as women proudly don shorts during the hiking craze of the early 20th century. With an unknown creator, this image showcases British women confidently sporting knee-length shorts paired with ankle socks and character shoes. During this era, influenced by American trends brought over by the Talkies, hiking became a popular pastime for many. As more women embraced outdoor activities, they sought comfortable yet stylish attire to match their adventurous spirit. Thus, shorts emerged as a practical choice for these trailblazing ladies. The photograph is part of "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933. It reflects not only changing fashion but also societal shifts towards female empowerment and freedom. The women's full-length dresses are replaced with liberating shorts that allow them to move freely while exploring nature. Hats adorn their heads, shielding their faces from the sun while adding an elegant touch to their ensemble. Although created by an unknown artist, this print serves as a testament to the evolving attitudes towards clothing and gender roles during this transformative period. Preserved by The Print Collector under Henry E White's curation, this remarkable image encapsulates both style and substance—a snapshot frozen in time that celebrates women embracing new opportunities through fashion choices inspired by adventure.
