Well, damn. If someone from overseas were to watch this video, they'd be confused about the lack of Blacks who lived in America, more specifically, the New York region during this era. The pictures are amazing to glance at, but the racial disparity in your "chosen" photos is sickening and misleading. My family represented this region for hundreds of years, but hey, I guess history is a subjective entity.

I know what you mean, it's all very elegant, but if I have to be honest, I'd rather be comfortable. All the "accoutrements" would have been uncomfortable if not torturous. The girdles, garter belts, stockings. etc., were not very fun to wear. And they didn't even have tampons! I would not like to get all fully dressed up just to go to the supermarket! I like getting dressed up for occasions, just not every day. It's too much trouble. @@michelles2299

It's the same lineage of people in the video that have perverted America today, from porn to pedophilia to creating the curriculum in schools. Don't forget these people are NOT Americans, but invaders of this country. In order to stop the perversion you have to get rid of the people, who brought it to this Nation. Unfortunately, they are the ones who controls the direction of America, to which they are deliberately running it into the ground. They were every bit as perverted and corrupt as they were back then as they are today (from lynchings to land theft to burning down and flooding entire towns). That's how we got here.

To be fair, they may have been dressed nice, but much of the nation were racist lowlifes who kept other races at the rock bottom of society.
The people, even the adults, look so innocent/ wholesome and just humble with their lot in life. The picture of the policeman letting the mother cat cross the street with smiling onlookers - there was a real connection between and around humans and life. I’m sure not everywhere was like that, but the majority of people in the 1920s had pride in being human beings and they *just cared*.

@@2buxaslice People of color "just cared," in the 1920's. People of color lived harmoniously in NYC back in the day. Harlem in the 1920's was where everyone went for the arts - including white people. Don't be so narrow and bitter and ignorant. People "just cared" throughout the centuries. It is myopic people like you who never seemed to 'just care" and see everyone not your color as your enemy. That chip on your shoulder is going to ruin your back, make you walk lopsided and give you leg cramps. Better open up your world-view. By the way - the people who were widely lyn- (ched) in NYC back at the turn of the 20th century were not blacks or people of color - but Italians. Their bodies swung from bridges - so everyone could see. Just for being Italian. And those water fountains? Blacks and whites could drink out of the same water fountain, but not the Irish - they had to go without. And being served in restaurants in NYC at the turn of the 20th century? Blacks and most whites could enter through the front door and be served with dignity - but if you were Irish, you had to enter through the rear door and eat segregated by yourself. Many restaurants wouldn't even let you in - just for being Irish. But blacks and other whites were OK. And this was throughout NYC. Also the first slave owner in America was a BLACK man named Anthony Johnson. Read up on history. It might shock you. There is a LOT of history your modern day educators are not teaching you, on purpose, so you could remain ignorant and hateful and thus, easily controlled. That is exactly the MO the southern slave owners used on slaves. Keep them ignorant and illiterate so they could be controlled. Don't let this happen to you. Snap out of it - and LEARN.

"Women didn't look trashy." It's completely relative. Imagine being born deep in the Victorian era, and then, as you age, watching women's clothes change, post WW I and into the 1920s & '30s. Suddenly the hemlines are going way, way up; and at the beach, _bare thighs,_ even! Smoking, and driving around with boys - without a chaperone! And at the movies, all sorts of naughty cavorting, often leading to a spontaneous kiss. No, peoples' idea of 'trashy' depends entirely on what era they were born in.
Thanks for the trip back. I was actually expecting to see Fred Astaire walking down the street!!

NYC 70s 80s and even the 90s had more. 70s at least 70 percent 90s 50 percent. Now maybe 25 percent. Sadly. You can see them at games I know concerts almost all of them or restaurants or many still work in the city but they reside in the suburbs now. 80 to 90 percent were urbanites either they were or their children or grandchildren or great grandchildren lived in Urban NY or NJ. Many from the Bronx now live Upstate NY Westchester Rockland to Putnam Duchess. Many from Queens Brooklyn moved to Long Island and NJ like many Staten Islanders. Staten Islanders came from Brooklyn before some going to NJ. Of course Urban NJ moved to suburban NJ too although it was small. 10 million live in Urban NY NJ over 8 million in NY and NJ or Connecticut up to 10.5 million. Suburbs on the extended editions have up to 14 million people. Suburbs after WW2 had 4 or 5 million in those areas tripled in population by the year 2000 and 2010. Why do I know?

Gotta love the gentlemen wearing their suit & tie... to the gym! I am glad we've gotten a bit more pragmatic about dressing up or dressing down. But I do wish people would pay a little more attention to how they look, even when dressing casually. It's been ages since I donned a suit, but I dress "business casual" for work, certainly no shorts or sweat pants. The one thing that strikes me is how many people back then wore covers, from elegant hats to simple caps. I never saw the point, until someone gave me a nice fedora... I've kind of taken to wearing that.
Such Class, refinement, elegance and standards!

Beautiful photos. Thanks so much. The photo at 9:38 states "man with car in New York City in 1920s." I actually think that is Chicago and he is standing on the street in front of a hotel which was originally called The Stevens Hotel later changed to the Conrad Hilton and is now the Chicago Hilton and Towers. The building next door is the Blackstone Hotel.
Everyone is so stylish in the clothing, with hats and everything. Perhaps not very practical, but beautiful. I hope some day this style will trend again. Also the cars are so beautiful and not boring as modern cars.

I grew up only hearing stories about my grandparents as they had passed long before I was born. The only grandparent alive when my younger brother and I were born would pass away when I was four years old. Because they seem like a mystery, these photos help me to understand their time. I am only 55 and it just seems weird to say my grandparents were born at the turn of the century. My parents had my younger brother and I long after their first three were born and I am several generations away from most conventional family understandings. I have done some genealogy searches to get to know them. This video helps a lot by looking into their daily lifestyles.

The picture at 8:09, "A man reads a newspaper, New York, 1919," was taken some time in 1939 or 1940. Most likely in 1940. The Sixth Ave El ran until 4 Dec 1938. It was demolished sometime in 1939. The construction with the boards is obviously the entrance to the not yet opened Sixth Ave Subway. The subway opened on 15 Dec 1940.

Thank you so much for this lovely video!!!❤️
I truly enjoyed this video full of elegance, class, beauty, and lovely people in New York City, when NYC was a place to be visited. LOVE videos like this one showing how these people lived, dressed and enjoyed their times. Thank you for sharing such refined, sublime, exceptional and definitely exquisite video and its content, it is marvelous and wonderful , a first-class video that I haven’t seen in a long time. And It is wonderful to still remember that beautiful time. I personally appreciate videos like this one. 👌🙌👍🙌♥️

Thank you so much !
When street style was actually stylish and not a mishmash of ridiculous looking pieces designed to attract attention! Moreover, even the buildings and streets are beautiful!!!
Can’t imagine living in one of those 20 story buildings (you showed at the end) without A/C in the summer!
Amazing! Thank you - this made my day. I imagined my grandparents in the era.
Just lovely🤗
It's interesting to see alot of the cars in the early period are right hand drive .The colourisation is very good in the main ,in one of the shots of the Easter parade some of the men's hat colours are a bit odd though !
How can you explain to your grandchildren how fun Easter was with our "Easter Bonnets 🎶🎵 with all the frills upon it". Hats were as important to women as a purse. A bygone tradition.
I love this. My kind of era. Thank you so much for posting this. ❤
That was fun! Good job and LOVE the music!!
