Fashion from the 50s
In the beginning of the 1950s the major fashion trend that changed fashion was the waistline, this was because women started to change how they had always dressed with tight fit dresses. Instead some women preferred wearing dresses that had no waistline as it was more comfortable, but this was often referred to as a 'sack dress' as it would just drape a women's body. Although a lot of people liked like look of a tiny waist and continued to wear dresses that showed it. People had a lot more freedom in the 50s to change fashion and doing so felt like that had to make sure they always looked a certain way for different situations.

The 1950s is what some people refer to as the continuing transition in fashion. Where it remained fluid and free, trying out new fashion and old fashion and inspired fashion but the direction a lot of people went with for fashion trends was in the 1920s. Someone called Hardy Amies in London was a go to for people to feel inspired, they showed suits with straight unbelted hip-hugging jackets over straight skirts and people loved it.

In 1953 the mood of fashion changed to sleek, slender elegance and everyone became sophisticated with their fashion. Trends changed and hemlines, waistlines and hairlines all grew shorter. The words everyone was using to describe the style was 'shape' and 'sheen'. Everything was simple the way people looked, the clothes people wore tailored coats in chiffon and lace that floated over tight fitted summer dresses. Everything had balance to different style trends of loose and tight were paired together to make one beautiful outfit. Loose coats in thin silk were worn over a tight suit and evening coats were worn flowing over tight evening dresses.

Fur trimmings made a come back in the 50s but the trend didn't take over fashion with fur cuffs being the only fur touch on a coat but it was a lot more tasteful this time around. Colours however was a big part of the fashion with orange being the boldest colour people dared to wear after 20 years of just white. The early 50s is when it made its noticeable return without whole outfits, hats and accessories being bold orange statement pieces to wear. In the autumn the orange influenced the different tone of brown from gingers, tans and chestnuts they were the colours to wear.

Blues were also a bold colour to come into fashion especially the turquoise and the mauve-blues that then shaded into lavender and purple. The grey and beige neutrals stuck around throughout the summer seasons because they were the go to colours but the favourite statement colours through summer to wear were red and yellow. For winter velvet was the winning trend for fashion with velvet collars and cuffs, velvet blouses and waistcoats, velvet flares on skirts, velvet accessories and entire velvet suits and dresses.
