Fashion in the 1950's
Fashion in the 1950’s was very different to today. Women’s fashion was “behived” hair styles with usually short cut and wavy hair. Women usually wore full skirts these were called "Wide swing skits" Wether they flowed long or were reasonably tight they where almost always high wasted, These skirts followed the music of " Rock n Roll " , Another option was high waisted pants mostly worn with a belt. Many girls wore women’s dresses that there mothers had made, the dresses were made out of curtains because they couldn’t afford to buy what was in fashion at the time.

Some of the teenage boys of the 1950s went for the “Bad boy” look with the leather jackets, jeans and the combed back hair, Most of the guy’s dressed like this as a way to attract the girls. . The fashion was a lot like in Grease, the movie. There was not just the bad boys, many boys would dress in a way called the"Good guy look" This was considered to be "Clean cut" boys wore letter sweaters and penny loafers. The woman wore soft colours. Example; yellow, light pinks, white ect. Due to the movie “Rock n Roll, The early days” whitch is in black and white, It is hard to tell most of the colours of the fashion in the 1950’s Clothes worn then have made a big impact on today‘s fashion.
