Fashion For Women

1950's clothing for women is synonymous with female sensual elegance! The clothes of this period focused on imparting the hourglass silhouette to the person by replacing the short-skirt wide-shoulder silhouette with longer, fuller skirts which put focus on the middle and soft shoulder lines. End of the World Wars saw the cessation of rules on materials, which translated into the use of a variety of materials and lower hemlines for women's clothing! While older women want the subtler Pad Skirts, younger women often flaunted their moving Poodle Skirts with flamboyant elan! Highest importance was presented with to acting and looking "every inch the lady", hence impeccable grooming and a well tailored look were highly valuable. Pleated skirts were also very popular, which gave a good start to this much-coveted neat, elegant, tailored look. The hemlines usually ended just at the knee or a little below it.

Fashion Accessories

The 80's era was filled with big hair and colorful clothing. Everyone just loved fashion. But that didn't end there since a lot of accessories that joined in the bandwagon.

Mens fashion in the 80's were filled with leather and blacks, all looking totally like punks and their favorite metal bands while women loved their style in bright colors, walking during the daylight glowing like neon. 

Although men and women had different preference in styles, they both had the same love for having tons of accessories. But I do agree that women won this round.
