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.

Women were Disowned for Having Children Out of Wedlock

  Many women during the 1950’s gave up their children for adoption and it was mostly because of babies being born out of wedlock. Within this time ladies who got pregnant out of wedlock were shamed and disowned by their friends and families. They were considered a disgrace to the family to have a child before marriage. During this era, it was widely judged. Which I can understand why they would be disowned because they could not wait until marriage but on the other hand it happens sometimes. Many women gave up their babies up for adoption had the right to refuse to disclose the identity of the father. Lots of the ladies did choose to tell people who the father was but it was more common that the women refused to tell. Social workers at the time respected these women’s decisions about this situation. I personally have mixed emotions about this topic. I do not think that people should be ashamed for having children out of wedlock but still should be widely influenced to...

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more!  I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

1950s Hairstyles That Were Popular and Easy

 Thoughts on 50's Hairstyles Hairstyles back in this era were mostly shown of women with short curly hair.  They had big curls that made the volume in their hair rise and looked so shiny as well.  The women put curlers in their hair the night before while it was wet so once they took them out they would have lushish waves on the top of their heads. What is not talked about is that they did have long hair in this era.  Those who did produced the commercials and photoshoots just did not include these types of women/hairstyles as much. All of these women had lots of volume and head full of hair as well, I am quite jealous.  Those who had longer hair in the 1950's styled their hair with bigger curlers the night before as well.  I would have to say I love the look of both hairstyles and I found them so intriguing!  Women's Hairstyles in the 1950s Many of the women in this time period went for the short hair with curls as a way to look fancy and presentable....
