Men's Fashion was so Boring

Men's fashion only consisted of suits and sometimes loungewear. In my opinion it was nothing special.

I saw some photos of men who wore button up shirts and long shorts right above the knee.

You would assume that they would be wearing it to only the beach but that wasn't the case. They wore them out of the house as well.

Many of them wore long pants and long sleeve shirts in the wintertime and almost all the time depending on the guy.

Compared to men today back in the 1950's men wore loose pants that did not squeeze the ankle as many of them do today.

Which is fine for me, I think men look great in both types of style pants and can wear them as they please.

There were some men who went for the typical bad boy look such having a leather jacket, blue jeans, and had their hair nicely slicked back.

This is the style of what James Dean always wore. Other men were all about suits and looking professional.

They had fancy hats, white button ups, black coat, tie, and loose pants with fashionable closed toe shoes.

I noticed that some of them wore suspenders and sometimes even rose up their pants past their bellybutton.

Moving onto the bathing suits for guys, they consisted of small shorts way above the knee and had a print on them.

I have to say they did look comfy and they resemble what men today wear as boxers or underwear under their clothes.

One thing, I have to say is they all looked so professional, modest, and handsome. They definitely groomed and took care of themselves well.

As today, many men back in the 1950's did not have many options for clothing and styled themselves simple.

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...
