50s style

Everyone remembers the beautiful images of the 50s, in which everything was present - from the grace of lines to color extravagance. The style of that time is the style of Haute Couture. Each young lady had a high-waisted fluffy skirt, as well as long gloves, a hat and miniature shoes, like Cinderella's. In those days, everyone wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe.

In those days, very thin girls were not considered the standard of beauty; on the contrary, women with a large bust, thin waist and royal posture were revered. Therefore, the clothes had to emphasize all these charms.

The girls loved to change clothes several times a day, change earrings and shoes. They were helped by fashion magazines and social events, which they went to to demonstrate their new dress, and also discussed fashionable news.

Today, 50s fashion is a classic that will live among us forever.

The clothes of these years have distinctive features that are inherent only in this style.

• Corsets and frames.
• A typical dress form for that time, in the form of an hourglass.
• Bouffant skirts.
• Small bags, a bit like a suitcase.

• Tight dresses (exclusively for those women whose figure was very thin).
• Lantern sleeves.
• Deep neckline.

Corsets were a popular attribute for every woman. Even the thinnest wore it. The thinner the waist was, the more beautiful the woman was.

Women of those times looked after themselves especially carefully. They did not appear in front of her husband without makeup and hair.To do this, they waited for the husband to fall asleep, and only then washed, and in the morning, long before the husband, they got up and put themselves in order by the time the spouse woke up.

To create an image, a woman had to choose a model of clothing and think about it. For a casual look, girls chose a pleated skirt, shirt dresses, and two-piece suits. The fluffy skirt was an incredible success. She hid all the flaws and emphasized the beautiful thin legs of the lady.

In the 50s, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren were considered style icons. Therefore, all clothes simply smelled of their splendor.

American Claire McCardell offered clothes that would replace long, uncomfortable dresses. She created a new model of a skirt that was pinned at the back with a safety pin. Claire was the first to create an evening dress not from flowing fabric, but from cotton. Therefore, by the mid-50s, she became a trendsetter of the American style.

Marilyn Monroe is not only a sex symbol, but also a # 1 style icon. She was the first to file one heel. Marilyn wore tight-fitting sweaters along with capris. and in the evening she appeared before the elite in tight-fitting dresses with a deep neckline.

The shoes of the 50s were at first cumbersome and did not look like women in any way. After a while, the shoes began to transform into graceful and neat, the toes of the shoes became sharp.

If earlier heels were of only one shape, then in the 50s high, medium heels, stiletto heels, as well as "shock" heels appeared. This is a highly angled heel that has been incredibly popular. By the way, the stiletto heel was first made of wood. Ballet flats also appear, which were very comfortable. Ladies loved to dance in them.

The most popular adornments were made from pearls. They were worn not only to various events, but even at home.

Long gloves were a constant accessory in the 1950s.

At the end of the image, the girls did their hair and makeup. Red lips and lowered eyes - it has been and will be stylish at all times.

In the 50s, there is no dominant color like this. Various geometric and graphic prints are typical of that time. Floral drawing is popular.

Paired colors are in fashion: blue and white, red and white. Mostly accessories are striking in the image. Eye-catching jewelry, wide multi-colored belts.

The Claire McCardell collection combines pinkish tones with vibrant colors such as yellow, green and blue. Although she uses calm shades of pink and gray for her work.

The fabrics used are very different. Satin, linen and cotton were used for everyday outfits. Party dresses are made of silk, organza with satin and guipure inserts. Such dresses were a chic dress for every woman and should have been in every woman's wardrobe. Dresses were embroidered by hand, with beads and even precious stones, for wealthier women.

Fluffy skirts are made of tulle or organza. Due to the density of the material, the skirt on top is made of ordinary lightweight material.

Today, 50s style is making a comeback. Every thing of that time is self-sufficient. Therefore, it was necessary to choose wisely the additions to the image. For example, it is better to choose a calm blouse and discreet accessories for a fluffy bright skirt. And, of course, do not forget about heels.

It is better to choose plain or fishnet tights and stockings for bright outfits.

At that time, all women wore hats, and now you rarely find a lady with such a headdress, especially with a veil.

If you are a fatal temptress, then pay attention to the red satin dress. In this manner, all other attributes should be neutral. Men will not be able to take their eyes off you.

If you decide to attract attention at work, then a striped or checked dress, as well as a plain jacket, will suit you.Although if you are going to a meeting with a business partner, then choose a loose dress with a collar, and pumps will be an addition.

A romantic girl can afford light curls and the same dress. Jewelry is best to choose from pearls.
