| Angelina Jolie wearing a cloche on a 1920s film set |
A cloche, a popular hat in the 1920s, is a fitted bell-shaped hat. "Cloche" means bell in French. The hat, invented in 1908, even influenced hairstyles.

| The bob |
Women in the West traditionally wore their hair long, so it was a shock when the bob cut became popular in the 1920s. As was mentioned before, the cloche might have influenced this hairstyle since it couldn't be worn well with long hair. The bob became more popular when women with long hair were inconvenienced when doing war work.
