Costume Fashion Of The 50s

By:


The 1950s was ascribed into historical books as a decade that came on the tail of the infamous World War II and ushered in a new war between the United State and the Soviet Union. This newly born was became known as the Cold War and it lasted for quite a few decades. World War II and the Cold War cannot compare but they are both most certainly wars.

The attitudes and mindsets behind the Cold War also sprouted a barrage of other historic events which included but were not limited to the Korean War; the race into space with USSR coming in first with its Sputnik rocket; the quest to build and improve nuclear weapons; and the phobic reactions of the American people toward and against communism, communists and all that they stand for.

As if all that I've mentioned above is not enough, the 1950s are also known for their advent of television, jazz music as we know it today, fast food restaurants (i.e., McDonalds and Jack in the Box), factory packaged TV dinners, root beer, credit cards and best of all, drive-in movie theaters.

The 1950s style of dress were replicated from the Hollywood scene. So, most women wanted to emulate Marilyn Monroe and both men and women want to wear the same clothing worn by stars of such popular movies as Rock Around the Clock and Grease.

To be considered fashionably dress in the 1950s, therefore, one would have to wear poodle skirts, tight leggings and leather jackets.
