A mixture of influences...one definite one I've heard about was the post war ( post ww1 ) abandoning or even protest of pre-war / during-war values.
Out with the formal, dreary, prude-ish dresses (and prude-ish social values) that covered from a tight collar to below the ankles; a change to carefree, wreckless abandon, natural and true, no more cumbersome bussles, no more putting up with stodgy ways of the past which just led the world to mass anihilations. It was a time to give it all up and focus on carefree and fun instead. Jazz music became accepted and enjoyed by white people, previously considered deplorable. The flapper dresses allowed the vigorous, fast- paced movements in the dynamic dances that matched with the new jazzy music, like the famous Charlston dance, fast and free and dynamic and silly and fun and vigorous, certainly not stodgy old prudish traditional dance. It was a time of change, rejecting the ways that seemed to lead to the repugnant "great war (ww1)", and trying something completely different.

Also, there is a definite influence of the ancient Egyptian styles found on hieroglyphs at the recent archaeological find of Tutankamen and the glorious, glittery contents of the ancient pyramids of Egypt. Dresses were trim, slim, and in some cases, somewhat short, sometimes quite glittery too, and vibrant colours different than formalistic basic black, decorated with large (maybe even cheep) jewellery or feather boa, and a tierra style band around the hair, similar to the hieroglyphic images and glittery treasure things that were of great interest then.

How about it times of a strong economy, the hemlines go up.

Flapper fashions showed the advancement towards a feminist movement.

The trenches had culled out lots of men, women needed to attract the best possible catch by changing their fashions towards more revealing, daring styles.
