Dive into this curated collection to check out some of the most iconic photos from the 1920s and get a real feel for the high-energy Jazz Age lifestyle.

1. Gym Class a Hundred Years Ago

When and where: 1920s, USA

Gym class, not exactly a student favorite, has been around since the mid-1800s. Check out this 1920s photo: a gym class split by gender, students rocking what looks like rompers.

This scene is way more serene and artistic than a gym teacher yelling at you to keep running. And let’s be real, you won’t find these vintage 1920s-style rompers on Amazon.
