Flares
You can't ignore them. Flares were in and out of fashion and if you got it wrong boy, did you know it at school. Of course, not only trousers can be flared - anything with long legs or sleeves can be flared. So, trousers, dungarees, cat-suits, overalls are all flarable, as are all long-sleeved T-shirts, shirts, blouses and dresses.

The Fifties was fundamentally a time of conformity. You won't find anything wild or risque on these pages.
But the Sixties were groovy baby. Styles in all things reflected the social turmoil of the decade.
About retro fashion. Sorry, kids, but Grease was a movie. Most kids didn't look quite that cool. We dressed very conservatively. What is shown on these pages is an accurate representation of Fifties clothing. |
