Even if you’re a girl who prefers the fun looks of 1960s fashion and modern freshness of 1970s clothing, the 1950s has a style for you. I provide advice on how you can wear ’50s clothing without feeling like you’re wearing a costume. This article explores how five 1950s style looks – rockabilly, hot housewife, modern pin up, poodle skirt and sporty-varsity – can be worn without hesitation today. The collection purported a feminine softness totally opposite from the ’40s militaristic styles of wide shoulders jackets, short skirts and an overall ethos of less-is-more (limited adornment or elaborate designs) made from minimal materials to conserve for the world. Embraced for re-defining the female silhouette, the New Look collection (also called the “Corolle” line as dubbed by LIFE Magazine) introduced styles designed with full skirts that dropped below the knee, tightly nipped to emphasize a woman’s waist. The ’50s was an era for new blood in the design world, but before America gained fashion ground European designer Christian Dior released his “New Look” collection in 1947 that laid the foundation for all of 19 50s women’s fashion design. In their place, vintage designers like Bonnie Cashin, Ceil Chapman and Pauline Trigere were introduced to women’s closets in the ’50s. The haute couture houses of fashion in Paris stopped producing designs during the war, so by the mid ’40s their influence had waned.

There are so many, but here are a few that have made an impression on me over the past several months.1950s women’s fashion style was the birth of American fashion and today, is one of the most popular vintage trends to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe. Here’s a very short list of accounts for and by pinups of color. Instagram has become my favorite social media platform. I’ve been on social media for less than a year and while it can be problematic at times, it has helped me find these communities of women that I’ve been seeking for so long. It can connect her to the women that came before her, to her heritage.
It can help a woman find her own magic and be confident. It’s an aesthetic that celebrates the body and encourages transformation. There are many reasons why the pinup aesthetic appeals to women of color. What always troubled me about the pinup aesthetic was that I never saw pinups who looked like the women of my family, and while I loved (and continue to love) looming pinup figures like Marilyn Monroe and the cult queen Bettie Paige, I’ve always been looking for something a little more relevant to my experience. I don’t really feel like me if I’m not wearing a cat eye and a red mouth. I used to beg my parents to take me to the only 1950s themed dinner in town, and I twirled in circle skirts my grandmother had sewn for me in blue and green Hawaiian print fabric. Growing up, I also had a love affair with the pinup girl.
