50s styles, time to bring them back!
Filed in archive Trends by Ryan on February 7, 2008
Remember the 50s? Yeah, me neither! I am an 80's child, but I can still appreciate the fashion of the 50s. I loved how women wore dresses almost all of the time. I wish we could return to that phase instead of some of the frumpy messes that are going on today. So what classifies 50s styles? Well, pencil skirts, swing skirts, short cropped jackets, bolero sleeves, broad collars and heels were mandatory and gloves were always appreciated. I love, love, love the silhouette created from swing skirt styles, it is so flattering and feminine. Now, you don't have to run to your local vintage store and find authentic 50s clothing, you can do modern interpretations if you would like. Let's bring the 50s back!!

Stilettos and ballet flats were part of the 50s shoe styles and all are still relevant. But let's not forget the most popular were saddle shoes. Not ready to bring those back yet? These are the modern interpretation of the saddle shoe. Hush Puppies
