When it comes to the timeless classic of womenswear, 1950s fashion is definitely on
the list. Not only has it been included in the annals of fashion, but also it is still
popular now. Why was 1950s fashion so successful? First, let us begin with an
overview of the world history of that period.
During World War II, when the men were away, women began to gain an
independence and they left homes to work in offices and factories. In that case, most
women wore comfortable clothing which suitable for work, and even began to
regularly wear pants. After the end of War, as men returned home, women also
returned to the home as wives, mothers and homemakers. Therfore, the western
women’s clothing was no longer just a single style of working look.
Under the change of the social environment, Paris once again became the center of
fashion, a large number of designers worked hard to create the 1950s fashion and held
fashion shows twice a year. It made a hit, bringing the development of the fashion
industry to an epoch-making peak. Then, let us take a look at some typical changes.
The basin collar and large lapels soften the lines on the neck and shoulders. Instead of
the traditional ruffle trim, the new "Peter Pan" neckline is layered with knit and fur.
The old pleated skirt and the large skirt are modified into an A-line skirt, and the
length is also shortened, making the wearer more free. The thin waist band is a good
match, which shows the waist line very well. What was the chance of these changes?
