Here is a great example of the popular cat-eye glasses and hairstyles of the 1950s for women. The rims of these glasses are dark at the top outside corners and they come up to a point. Her hair is very short and wavy which was very typical for this time period for more mature ladies. Styles were generally on the conservative side, except for those specs of course which were probably considered a bit risky.

Oh my, a retro 40s glamour guy here in this photograph taken in about 1940 is standing in front of a vintage car sporting a dark pin stripe suit and wingtip shoes in black and white. His hair is slicked back with a side part. Men of this era typically wore their locks a little longer but neatly combed back so the ears and forehead would show. He is complete with pipe in teeth and certainly ready for a night out on the town.

Here's an example of a school picture from the 1950's. This teen girl has a short curly hairstyle that is certainly conservative by today's standards. These were the days of Beaver Cleaver when women stayed home and raised children. Teenagers wore very little if any make-up and kicked around in saddle shoes.

This picture was taken in 1964 and is a great example of what types of hairstyles you might have seen on women and girls. The woman standing in the background is in her early 20's and is sporting a bouffant without bangs. Her hair is pulled up into an updo with much height and fullness that was accomplished with ratting the strands and products such as Dippity Do and Aquanet. Her eye make-up is dramatic with dark liner that extends past the corners. The mom has a bleach blonde poof doo. The child has a pixie cut and back then parents usually cut their kid's hair which is obvious with the uneveness.

What a great example of a modern Marcel wave. This retro hairstyle was ever so popular back in the 1920's when women opted to cut their hair as part of the women's movement. The short bob was the style of choice and these soft waves gave the ladies a feminine edge.This is a very pretty 'do with bangs arranged in an "S" shape up and around the perimeter of the forehead.
