For Women:
The poodle skirt. This is the look most associated with the
Fifties. And when you saw the "skirt" link, it's what you most
expected to find.
A poodle skirt is a wide swing skirt with a poodle appliquéd or
transferred onto the fabric. Poodles were not the only items
used to adorn these skirts, they are just the best remembered.
As a symbol of the era, young girls and women would wear saddle
locks fords and a sash tied in their pony tails. |

For Men:
Fifties fashions for men
are often thought of in terms of the Fonz and
Grease. The slicked back hair, coupled with the
black leather jacket and white t-shirt, proved
to be a popular style for the fifties era.
Men didn't have many workplace choices for
color. They tended to wear dark blue, dark
brown, and charcoal. The style of the Fonz
served as an outlet for the normal drab attire. |
