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 represented lingerie.
Which does not sound too restricting but some woman wanted to rebel and go against these rules.
Woman were not to show off their bodies a lot before marriage and were especially judged harshly if if they had a child out of wedlock.
Pin up girls are aspiring people honestly and I love that they expressed their femininity in good ways. Girl power and support should still be a thing.
