fashion in the 50's
Saturday, November 6, 2010 @

The highlights and major trends in the 50s are form-fitting dresses, bright colours and spectacles.
During the early 50s, everyone is influenced by Christian Dior fashion. During the late 40s, fashion is less feminine. Both men and women wore pants. During the early 50s, the fashion took an overturn. The style became more “feminine”. The new “feminine” look featured a fitted jacket, with a nipped in waist, and a full length calf skirt.
These are some of the examples.

In the mid 1950s up to the early 1960s, women's fashion took a de
cisive turn from the formality of the 1940's to the more fun and carefree fashion of the late 50's and early 60s. This time period was characterized by form-fitting wiggle skirts, shirtwaist dresses, and ornate cardigan sweaters. All three staples of 50s vintage fashion emphasized a nipped waist, as in Dior's design, but made the look less formal and added fun plaid elements.

Fun Facts: Do you know that despite both the British and U.S. government advising women not to wear the new outfits due to excessive use of fabric, the style caught on dominated the early 1950's.
Shoes: In the early 1950's, shoes were often very high, being shaped into either rounded or peep toes and low cut front uppers.
In the mid 50's, pointed toe shoes are called winkle pickers with stilleto heels up to 5 inches were a common sight.

Bags: Bags in the 1950s were literally handbags and usually held by the hand or over the arm in fashion. Many handbags had side pockets,or even grip clasps or rings for a woman to keep tracks of her gloves.
Spectacles: One unexpected facial accessory of 50's was spectacles. Frequently there were inlaid with diamente or scattered glitter dust. The exaggerated wings at the outer corners flared in the style of butterfly wings.
