50'S retro~!

In the 50's, fashion became a more vivid and wild kind of fashion. There was a lot of retro and vintage clothing as well as pokka dots prints. Clothing that both men and women wore were Levi jeans, poodle skirts, saddle shoes, sloppy Joe sweaters, polo shirts, T-shirts, circle skirts, Bermuda shorts, carpi pants, baby doll dresses, bikini, black leotards, stand up collars, satin jackets, etc. The shoes that were worn in this era are Mary Jane’s, penny loafers. saddle shoes, ballerina flats, converse, and athletic shoes. The hairstyles that were popular in this time were the pixie cut, apache hairstyle, and pompadour hair. Some accessories that women wore are ankle and wrist bracelets, cat-eye glasses, waist belts, boas,and neck scarf. Men wore suspenders, wallet chains, beanies, and fedora hats. One of the famous styles of this time was the greaser style. What I think about the 50's: I actually like this time period because the clothes were becoming more expressive and colorful. The kids at this age were more rebellious and I liked it because the teens also had a say in this world. The way the 50's dress catches my eye in today's fashion and you can easily spot it from a far distance. I also have a lot of 50 style clothing in my closet but I didn't even know about until I started this little project. Ahhh, I just like the vintage stuff, it makes my day. PICTUREEEEES!
