EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the early 20th century with this image showcasing the fashionable motoring attire for women in 1905. On the left, a woman dons an elegant Edwardian outfit, complete with a narrow waist, full skirt, and a bow at the chin. She accessorizes her look with a net veil, a straw hat adorned with a ribbon, and a scarf draped around her neck. The hat's brim offers some protection from the sun, while the veil adds a touch of mystery and sophistication. On the right, a modern woman embodies the spirit of adventure with her leather jacket and motoring toque hat. The jacket's sleek design and supple material reflect the growing popularity of motor vehicles, while the toque hat shields her face from the wind and cold. The hat's veil, reminiscent of the Edwardian era, adds a nostalgic touch to her contemporary outfit. This photograph, taken by the Illustrated London News Ltd in 1905, captures the essence of women's fashion during the early days of motoring. Whether embracing the latest trends or holding on to tradition, these women exude confidence and style as they embark on their motoring excursions. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion and the transformative power it holds in shaping the way we present ourselves to the world.
