The Ultimate Guide to Look Like a Bad Boy in the 50s

As you know from my last post that being a bad boy/greaser is not that hard to do but obtaining those items though is difficult.

One item that you will need for sure is a leather jacket.

This will piece the whole outfit together and is essential in becoming a greaser from the 50's.

Next, is obtaining some plain blue or black jeans.

These do not have to be perfect at all and can be baggy or skinny jeans as your 1950's pair of pants.

I also forgot to mention for shirts is it is key to getting a white top.

This is an item of clothing that everyone has in their house but there are options to choosing a pattern one just like this one guy in this photo.

The pattern may not be the exact one but it is good to put in your own style as well.

Finally on to the shoes. Greaser men shoes have two options they have the shiny black stylish shoes or the converse running shoes.

Both are fun and look like you are apart of the greaser 1950's club.

Men can dress however they want, so if you choose not to style yourself this way that is okay too.

I hope you have enjoyed looking through this guide and see you in the next article post.

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.

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 o...

What Is A Pin Up Girl and What Did She Do?

A pin up girl is a person who is sexually attractive and usually a famous person that wears little clothes. A good example to compare is people who are Instagram models. The difference is that women were less shamed about how their bodies looked back in the 1950's such as they did not nit pick about how a woman has arm fat or that she is too curvy. It was more they were judged about how they were showing their bodies so freely and wore scandalous clothes that turned their husbands heads. Which today some people still do that but it is more encouraged now to show your body freely and not judge women on how much skin they show unless it is nudity. Pin up girls mostly wore high-waisted bottoms to show off their curves and hips. They also included high-waisted skinny jeans with buttons on the sides, Capri pants high-waisted shorts, and pencil skirts. It was so scandalous if a woman were to show their stockings, wore a deep V-neck, and showed any clothing items that r...
