The 1950’s is one of my favorite fashion decades! Glamour was at its maximum level and for this season many designers are taking us back to the 50’s 60’s 70’s and 80’s but I wanted to focus our attention more to the 1950’s because it was a fascinating decade specially to those of us that were not even born then...
In the 50’s and even late 40’s the hourglass feminine silhouette was the biggest look. The ideal wife was portrayed in full skirts, frilly apron, and narrow waist on high stilettos. Working women were feminine but in a close-fit skirt suits which accentuated their curves. The jean was the big star of the 50’s when the Rock and Roll music began changing society as well.
Here are the outfits I chose to represent the new vision of that 50’s style today.
1 Jason Wu silk leaf-print dress this dress is perfect for women that want to be more “noticeable” with this print, it is also ideal for round & diamond shapes because the print design will help camouflage other areas.
2 Giambattista Valli cropped wool-blend tweed jacket this jacket is a great addition to any wardrobe. It is elegant and is a good timeless piece. Wear it with your LBD; wear it down with legging and long white sleeve blouse if you prefer to hide some areas. Wear it with your LBD; wear it down with leggings and long white sleeve blouse and thin belt if you prefer to hide some areas.
3 Dior Bordeaux shift dress this is a great example for a modernized shift dress. Bordeaux is one of the biggest colors this season, and for this style of dresses it is best to have less accessories, and add a belt to give more waist if you are a rectangle and diamond body shape.
4 Donna Karan draped stretch wool dress This draped dress is perfect for silhouettes that are round, triangle shapes because the draping on the top gives balance to the shoulders and waist. Match the accessories according to your face shape and your personal style.
5 Oscar de la Renta cashmere dress This emerald dress is wonderful for those glamorous fall luncheons or evening dinners. Is the ideal dress for body shapes like inverted triangle, and hourglass shapes because they enhance your neckline. Cowl-necks are quite tricky and if you have worn them before, and love what you see then this style of dress is perfect for you.
6 YSL wool-blend dress the perfect 50’s LBD, classic look then and now. Wear this style of dress with small subtle accessories and triangle, round, inverted, hourglass, rectangle diamond can Rock this look! Match it with red cardigan, cat-eye glasses, add a thin belt and wear it with flats or pumps, either way you will look very 50’s style.
7 Carven button back cashmere sweater I’m an open back lover and this sweater paired with this skirt is the 50’s almost 60’s chic look for today. Combine this look with a short scarf on your neck in polka-dots, red lips, and spiky chignon to modernize the look.
8 Isabel Marrant brocade baseball jacket I love this effortless “grease” look! This jacket is the proof that brocades can also be worn for the day and paired with jeans…Also wear over a LR(red)D, grey pantsuit, or white/ecru dress.
