1950's

The 1950s aesthetic is post-war American dressing defined by full skirts, cinched waists, and petticoats, a polished femininity epitomized by Christian Dior's New Look. Suburban domesticity and prosperity set the tone, with rockabilly and pin-up currents running underneath. Full circle skirts over petticoats and swing dresses do most of the work. Fitted cardigans and capri pants cover the casual register. Saddle shoes or kitten heels go below, and cat-eye glasses finish it.
