What I Love About the 1950's Fashion

I have to say I love the 50's fashion for both men and women. The women had beautiful flared out short dresses, dresses that clung to the knees, and capris pants as well.

They also included great variety of colors and patterns too. Women sometimes paired a hat, gloves, jewelry, purses, and scarfs into their outfits. I like the formal clothing they dressed in everyday.

My favorite look from this linked picture is the within the time frame of 1956. The light pink with the white stripes going horizontal with small white gloves on.

Along with white earrings and tan high heels. I do like that in this time period they did not have huge high heels either.

The men wore suits, pattern shirts and dress pants, long and short pants. They include hats, bags, and long socks. Even though the males clothes are simple they still have a sleek and formal vibe as well.

My favorite outfit from the men's side is from the year 1953. This gentlemen has a bright yellow top and under this is maybe a polka dot scarf. It pairs with tan lose pants, and brown shoes.

I think it is great that they have the lose pants style and looks like their legs are not suffocated from skinny jeans. It seems casual but a bit of fancy.

The females look very feminine and the guys look masculine in their outfits but both have confidence. I love that people in this decade have a suburban soft and put together perspective.

Marilyn Monroe Mask 50s

This is a stunning Marilyn mask for those who love the 1950’s! The mask has a quote directly from when this famous actress was alive and has her signature red lip. They made this item out of cotton and has a black background. They included her bleach blonde hair and with winged eyeliner. My mother has this exact same mask and she wears it everywhere. It reminds me of when she got her Marilyn soap bottle that she got in her bathroom. She loves all items that consist of this actress.

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage!

Pinup Girl Poster Gift for Those who Love Vintage! This woman has a cute 50’s styled outfit. She has a blue hat, long V-neck striped pattern shirt, blue skirt, clipped tights, and black and white shoes. The background on this art has two clouds, symmetrical trees lined up and a lake. What I noticed next was the big fish and the log she is sitting on. From this poster she looks as if she is fishing and what is she fishing for? I would say fish, but others would disagree. This woman has bright red lipstick and curly hair as well. I imagine this art in a man cave since it gives off the vibe of sexual appeal. I do not want to categorize so I think some women would love this poster in their home as well.

What Was Valentine's Day Like in the 1950s

Many people in this era loved Valentine's Day not only because was it is a fun holiday but it is a celebration of love! Everything was decked out for this fun day with Valentine creations such as small decorations, valentine cards, hanging hearts in store windows, and more! You saw lots of couples walking the streets holding hands, families spending time together, and store owners with smiles on their faces for obtaining lots of sales. Many children in school made Valentine's cards to give out to their classmates and created big posters of a baby cupids to take home. Celebrity pinup girls were posed for this special holiday with hearts in the background or wearing having hearts on their clothes. Marylin Monroe in particular did a Valentine's Day photo shoot with two big hearts as her backdrop. She was wearing high-waisted shorts, a small crop top with strings, boots, and a cute hat. There was many Broadway movies that came out during this holiday and one that was...
