| Name | Fashion in 1950s |
“Skirts, whether flowing or thight, were style staples for woman.”
Women's fashions of the 1950s reflected a complicated mix of conservatism and glamor: a girl-next-door freshness as well as alluring femininity. Women who had lived through the privations of the Great Depression and World War II were now able to afford new styles and embraced them all, from the elegance of grand, sweeping skirts to shorts.
