The 1950s was a time of change. Fashion was just beginning to move away from the severe styles of the 1930s and 1940s and instead of complexity, it was more relaxed and casual in 1950s fashion. Women were wearing more colors, patterns, and designs. They also began to wear makeup in public for the first time.
The 1950s was also a time that women were spending more time at home and less time in the workplace, so they had more free time to explore their own styles. They started looking for new ways to express themselves, and what better way than through clothing?
Take a look at these vintage photos from Steve Given to see what fashion styles of ladies looked like in the 1950s.
