The 1950s is one of my absolute favourite decades of fashion. It was a time full of so many beautiful styles, such as full skirts and pencil skirts, and also full of so many beautiful people such as Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn!

The fashion industry had been under restrictions from World War II, but as the war finished, the restrictions finished with it! This meant that the fashion industry fully embraced the new fabric allowances, and designs became much more decorative and intricate. As men were all going back to regular jobs, the role of a woman changed once again, meaning the housewife look was in! 

The "ideal" body type of the 50s for women was a defined bust, slim waist and defined hips. The 50s was also when teenage culture became a lot more prominent in society. Teens fully embraced the trends of the 50s in a fun and unique way!

The 50s was a very interesting decade, and has some of the most beautiful designs and styles! This is my 50s inspired outfit, what decade is your favourite?
