Bad Boys in the 1950s

These type of men/teens were the most idolized people in the 1950's along with some celebrities. 

One celebrity in particular that had the bad boy style and his name was James Dean. 

This type of outfit melted the girls/women's hearts at the time.

Males would wear a leather or denim jackets, white or patter button up top underneath, blue or light jeans, either a quiff hair or leave it natural with some gel in it. 

I think of the outfits that Johnny Depp would wear in his Crybaby movie with his slicked back hair, leather jacket, and a rebellious but hot vibe. 

Today we label these type of people as bad boys but back in the 1950's they were called the greasers and apart of the greaser subculture. 

Looking back at these photos you never saw older men wearing this style, it was mostly teenagers and young adults. 

Those who dressed this way were definitely very popular in high school. Let's also not forget they added a cigarettes to compliment the look.

If any of these males came to any shops or to school with motorbikes, the women would have drooled even more than before. 

Bad boy vibes and looks is the trend that will never die and this confirms it.

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....
