5 Major Trends From The 50s

1) Soda Fountains

If someone wanted a cold drink or an ice cream back in the 1950's, then you would find the soda fountain. These were popular among the teenagers when they had parties.

When having a soda fountain you would be labeled as a cool person back in this era. I bet these sodas tasted amazing.

2) The Conical Bra

This bra was the hugest trend for women back in the 50s and it definitely brought a lot of attention from the public. This was also known as the bullet bra or the torpedo.

The bullet is described as the bra that has the cone shape and was considered a sexy piece of item in this era.

3) Sideburns

Elvis Presley and James Dean were celebrities that had the best sideburns in history. These sideburns were about one and a half inches below the ears.

This combined with the sleek look with the leather jackets were the hottest thing in the world in this time period.

4) Hula Hoops

These hula hoops were a big hit in the 50s as many women included these in their workout sessions. It was surprising to know that hula hoops were a thing back in this era.

Mostly women and children had purchased hula hoops and used them the most. I am sure a lot of them men did not even look for this type of product since they got a lot of backlash from liking anything feminine.

5) 3D Movies

A man by the name of Arch Oboler's made a movies called, "Bwana Devil" and it was the first ever 3D movie to come out. After this movies in 3D were popular.

This movie premiered in 1952 and people were provided with 3D glasses which they were all excited for this new experience. Even today people still love 3D movies.

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.

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! 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.

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.
