Women often wore nude stockings and nude full coverage undergarments so they wouldn't show beneath their clothing.

Red nail polish and red lipstick were also easy go-to accessories to complete many women's outfits.

Popular 1940s outfits for women included square-shouldered jackets with simple blouses and a matching skirt, shirtwaist dresses in long or short sleeves, and Kitty Foyle dresses (dark dresses with white or light collars and cuffs).

For women, this meant a wedge silhouette with wide shoulders, a narrow waist (often with peplum), and a single-pleated A-line skirt.

Peplum: a short section attached to the waistline of a blouse, jacket, or dress.
