4 Scandalous Outfits in The 50’s!

This TikTok video shows four scandalous outfit styles women wore in during the 1950’s era. Jasmine Chiswell has put together great examples.

It is interesting to know that during this time period women wearing tight short shorts was considered clothing that made people talk bad about. How it brought a bad reputation to some by just wearing these shorts.

Today many people wear skintight shorts but that is the norm in society. During the 50’s women were to wear modest clothing and look like a presentable housewife.

You were not to wear anything that counteracted this image. This representation could be good for some but bad for others if they did not wish to follow this norm.

Coned shaped bras are quite strange I have to admit. They are pointy and do accentuate a women’s chest.

I can understand where people were coming from when coned bras were labeled as a scandalous piece of clothing. They bring lots of amount of attention to a women’s chest area and could make some feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, coned shaped bras are not meant to offend anyone nor should be looked down upon because of their shape. They are meant to help support women’s breasts.

Uncovering the stockings were another piece of item that was labeled as scandalous. Which I do get this one as it would not be modest to show these since they are associated with intimate activities.

Although they are just an item of clothing and are harmless. I think you could make many good outfits with your stockings showing.

I do not quite understand the concept of a bathing suit in being a scandalous item of clothing. You cannot swim in a full outfit as it will wear you down.

The less clothing you have in water helps you swim faster and be more weightless underwater. I fully support bathing suits.

I do not have a counteractive argument for supporting non bathing suits. Many would enjoy this TikTok video of Jasmine showing scandalous outfit trends in the 1950’s.

Black Colored 50’s Accessories for fifters

This a unique box of items that were worn in the 1950’s! I notice there is a pair of glasses and sunglasses. Along with three pairs of polka dot earrings and a silk scarf as well. At the left corner there is a black and white printed headband and a pair of gloves too. There is a total of eight items in this accessory box. My grandmother used to have many of these style of gloves in her closet. When she would show them to me as a child, she would smile so bright and tell me stories of how she got them.

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.

Skintight White Lingerie for Those who Love the 50's

This is a sexy white lace lingerie piece for fifters! I notice that this type of clothing has a flower print and has an opening in the middle. This part is smooth and is without any substance on it. This piece has two straps on the side that are meant for tights and have metal at the top and bottom. The material is stretchy and is so adorable. My friend has lingerie clothing just like this one and when she wears this, she has a lot of confidence. She always tells me her boyfriend melts when she is in this piece.
