40 Elegant Photos That Defined Fashion Styles of ’50s Women _ US Memories

   

Fashion in the 1950s was influenced by the post-WWII era of the late 1940s and heavily featured newer materials like nylon, acrylic, polyester, and spandex. The end of the war also saw the return of couture fashion designers like Christian Dior, Cristóbal Balenciaga, Coco Chanel, and Hubert de Givenchy who had a major impact in the style of the decade.

The 1950s were also a time when fashion exploded into new directions, new colors, and new silhouettes. It is an iconic decade that has spurned a vintage retro fashion revival including Pin Up and Rockabilly clothing.
 
Overall, 1950s fashion was glamorous, well-groomed, and put-together, even for more casual stay-at-home looks. These elegant photos were found by Vintage Cars & People that show what women really wore in the 1950s.
