These two love birds must have been at a Christmas party because I spy a candy pin on her dress.
The young man has a Clark Gable-like haircut that was typical of that era with a side part and combed up and over bangs. The sides are short and hair products provide a slicked back wet look. He is wearing a tweed suit with white shirt and plaid necktie. Folks generally dressed up semi formal for parties and occasions.

What did typical men wear back then and what kind of haircuts did they have?
This is an actual photograph from the late 50's showing three generations of men sitting in the grass posing for the photo. Of course man's best friend has to accompany them for this shot, after all, he is part of the family. This is something that has not changed over the years: human's love of animals.

Here we have a charming photo from the early 1950's of two young men probably brothers looking rather dashing in their period clothes.
They both have wavy hair that is short on the sides. Being clean cut meant having no strands touching the ears or collar. The top of their styles is longer to allow for some styling with products that keep things in place. They both have side parts with full heads of thick hair.

In the early 1950's the hairstyles still had influence from the previous decade of the 1940's. This handsome couple shows how men were masculine and women were feminine.
The husband has a strong square jawline and he is smiling with eyes rather than his mouth. His dark hair is slicked back on the sides in a neat manner. The top is longer and brushed back leaving some natural wave to the style. There is a somewhat side part but it is not defined and a few loops of hair are misplaced a bit for a not so perfect look. Most men used hair products or whatever could be found for styling purposes and may have included things such as Vaseline. Back then many folks were poor or at least not well off enough and had to make do with whatever was available. He is wearing a sharp looking dark double breasted suit with a white shirt and tie. It looks as though the fabric has some lighter flecks that resemble pin striping. This man's name was Bob and he was so in love with his wife Faye.

Oh yes this is nice choice for a young business professional or distinguished man.
His light brown or dirty blonde locks are finger combed into place. The strands are left a bit longer so they can be styled into place with some wet look hair products. His unshaven face, or 5 day old beard, adds a touch of bad boy.
