50's Fashion

In the 1950's women wore dresses most of the time and dressing up meant wearing a fashion hat, a bold beaded necklace, and red lip stick.

This vintage photo shows the real meaning of a lady. She is sitting in a chair with her hands folded in her lap wearing a blue dress with short blazer jacket that has a sailor type white collar. Her dress is knee length and her sleeves are 3/4 length. The neckline is round which follows the line of her big and bold white beaded necklace. Her brunette hair is worn short and with bangs that are short as well. Her white hat is quite fashionable and finishes off her very charming and feminine appeal.

1920s Updo

This picture shows a 1920's woman with a rather modern and edgy updo from that era.

1920s Updo

This hairdo was accomplished with short curly hair. The sides are left down and hair is brushed upward toward the center top where bobby pins are used to secure the mass. The way that the hair is pulled up creates a look of full bangs on the forehead. The tresses on the sides are curled around forward just in front of the ears.

1920s photograph

The Marcel wave was still very popular and in 1910  women began cutting their hair short as a new sign of freedom from their corsettes and the beginning of a new trend for young ladies entering into the workforce. The Louise Brooks bob was the most famous hairstyle of the 20's. Vintage looks are gaining popularity in today's fashions. It is fun to look at old photos for inspiration.

1950's Hair and Clothes

Here is a typical example of styles from the 50's. Hair was conservative for the most part and so were the fashions.

Mother and Daughter

These were the post war years and most women stayed home while the men worked to support the family. This mother and daughter have a short and wavy hairstyle that is parted on the side and coaxed into gentle waves. Wearing curlers to bed was common and then in the morning hair was brushed into place. Hairstyles were typically short enough to show the bottom of the ears. This was simple and easy to maintain.

Vintage Early 20th Century Hairstyle

Here is a photograph of a young woman in the early part of the 20th century.

1920s Woman with Bob

The 1920's were a time of transformation for females and hairstyles were part of this. Prior to this time, women generally wore their hair long. The craze to cut their hair into short bobs swept the country and abroad. The Marcel wave was very popular and this gal has one big wave in the front while the sides appear to be twisted into small curls at about ear length. She may actually have longer hair but pinned it up to give the look of short hair in a faux bob. The strands on top are combed forward and swooped around to form bangs on the forehead. She probably has a bun in the back. This was one way to get a short hairstyle without cutting the hair. This may have been a good option for those who wanted the option for long hairstyles as well.
