1950's Fashion Women's Jeans

What Were Women's Jeans Were Like?

Women's jeans in this era were fitted at the top but were loose at the bottom. I have noticed that a lot of the women in this decade rolled up the end of the jeans so it sits above the ankles.

A 1950's woman wearing jeans as she is leaning against a tree. This article is about women's jeans from this era.

I do have to say that the jeans women wore in the 50's look so comfortable and somewhat fashionable but not all of them as some are questionable.

Some look a bit funny with the jeans just covering the knees and you can see their caves and ankles.

Others have good stylish prints that disguise the jeans and some look like men kaki's but could be used for job interview's.

From the photo's I have found I love the jeans with a matching dark belt, and some chains hanging off from the side of the belt. It looks like pants from those K-pop Idols clothing.

Jeans Within Old Photos

These jeans or pants for woman are not mentioned much upon searching within the 1950's category and I can see why as these do not resemble the image of society back in this era.

Some of the women look manlier and could be independent on their own or be wives that help on family owned farms.

It seems as if older women would wear these jeans as a way to be modest but hip at the same time.

As the decade goes in the later 50's the pants do improve and they look really good on the women from the 1950's.

1950's Western Women Hairstyles

I would say that women in the 1950’s had good hairstyles. You mostly see women with short hair than long. Do not get me wrong I have seen women with long hair, but it was rare since the trend at that time was to have short hair that was curly. I am a full supporter with women with dark brown hair with curls. I do like that they did not think of women with short hair as portraying too close to be looking like men or that they were copying their hairstyle. It is not a competition at all. All genders can choose to have their short or long if they wish too. Society did have the image that women with short hair were housewives, medium for young, and long for Hollywood pin ups. Which I do not think that women should abide by these. I am fond of women having short hair so that there is less to do with it. I am personally one who likes to keep her hair short as I do not have patience for long hair. When going to salons in the 1950’s it was a lot easier to style or cut someone’s hair...

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more! I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance. Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else? Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion. The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to. This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process. All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day. Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges. After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...
