Dressing in the 1950's

[Roxy Tart {PL Team / Comm. Mgr}]

I love seeing the difference between how people dress nowadays and how they dressed back in the day. We have the thread about how everyday people dressed, http://www.pinuplifestyle.com/forum/topics/everyday-people-of-the-4..., but this article I found got me thinking about how people dressed when they were going places that we still go today.

I think it's amazing (and kind of sad) that we are going the same places they did, but the way we dress has drastically changed, and most of the time, not for the better.

So post up your then and now shots, and who knows, maybe if people see this thread, it will inspire them to dress a little nicer when they go out.

First,I have to say that lloking good can be very subjective. I don't think it's necessary to always go out in full dress, petticoat, heels, etc, but I do think that you should be color coordinated, clean, wearing the right size and have your hair brushed. That being said, I do love to look dressy when I leave the house. Of course I had a fabulous mentor in this...

This is my very stylish Grandma in the late 50s

And this is her in the early 70s

Even now, that she's almost 80, she always looks put together. It wasn't always easy for her, she came from a VERY poor family, but somehow she always managed to look glamourous
