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.

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....
