Snow days are a rare thing now with a warming climate. In the 1920s, it meant a town or even a city as large as New York, regularly declaring official holidays for both kids and adults alike.
In the 1920s, a typical snow day would be a blend of leisure and outdoor activities that still reflected an era that was fast disappearing. People often engaged in snowball fun, skiing, sledding or tobogganing. If there was a frozen lake nearby, whole communities would descend on it for a spot of ice skating. And who could resist building a snowman?

The beauty of untouched snow and the crisp winter air provided a perfect backdrop for these activities. On cold winter nights, with television still to be invented, and radio in its infancy, families and friends gathered around fireplaces, sharing stories and hot beverages.

Activewear in the 1920s

The 1920s was also marked by a distinctive winter style. The era of 'activewear' had yet to evolve, so people made the best of looking stylish in the cold winter months.
Women donned wool winter coats, often lined with elegant fur collars and cuffs. These coats were frequently accompanied by cloche hats, fur stoles and long, knitted scarves.
Men's fashion included heavy woolen overcoats, often in dark colors, paired with fedoras or flat caps. They also wore plus-four trousers and sturdy leather boots to navigate the snowy streets.
Both men and women's fashion during this time beautifully blended form and function, ensuring warmth and style even in the coldest of winters.
