As long as people never have respect for themselves, It doesn't equate to as much as it could if they respect others, or respect their dresses, lawns, etc.
The main point is being comfortable with yourself and other people, and being free to express yourself regardless of popular belief of what is right or wrong. i don't know why people can't still look like this, or even naked. We have become sexually paranoid and it's beginning to get ridiculous because we can't focus on anything else.
Yes, the 50s were wonderful if you were a white man; good for a beautiful white woman; okay for an average-looking white woman; and lousy for everybody else.
50's FASHION, I love. Some of the values, I love too... the fact that women didn't work and the only careers available for them were actresses (not really well seen), secretary, teacher, or nurse is quite off putting...besides I'm Mexican... No matter how white my skin is... I'm still Latina. XD
I would love to live in an era where people dressed like this and acted appropriately out in public. But even if we were to bring this back, I don't think it would work now. We as a society have been desensitized to all the sluttyness and whorish styles that are popular now. And frankly, it just wouldn't be the same because this isn't the 1950's anymore. Simply dressing the part doesn't cut it. And people aren't gonna change their attitude and the way they act.
It isn't just desensitising. It's also a lack of knowledge. Most women these days aren't taught the same things they were in the 50's, nor do mothers show their daughters how to do things. In some respects this is a good thing, in other respects rather bad. There is also the fact that modern clothes are much easier to wear than their 1950's counter parts: stockings v tights/pantyhose being a prime example of that.
My God does that song bring back memories. It was l952 or l953 I was a senior at Penn State and that was the hit song of the day. But it was the era of "nice girls don't". Very frustrating for both men and women.
women were so feminine then ,so much class,now the 15 year old girls dress like street walkers,the hair so classic, now when a woman wants to wear a dress, it better be very short or super tight or if not they look at you funny.
I always love looking through my Nana's albums and seeing what she wore back in the 40s, 50s' & 60s. My grandmother even made her own cloths from patterns. My mom has a beautiful black dress from the 50s that my Nana wore when she went dancing in.
I would say 1946-1963 was more of the embodiment of the 50's as we know it, I'm sure there were problems back then as well, but it does look eutopian.
Man ... the 50's is just like an entire fantastic era wrapped up into little more than a decade (I think of the 50's as really 1946-1959). Women were so much more classy and beautiful ... sad state todays tramp society is.
i wish women still dressed like this..it was so classy and beautiful w/out being too revealing. now we have girls that hang their ass and tits out - not attractive at all and not necessary.
@kml5265 People can dress better today but I read some articles about fashion and not a lot of women miss tight girdles, high heels, stocking, and petticoats.
@fashionhistorylover you dont need to wear tight girdles, high heels, stocking, and petticoats to relive the 1950s fashion..like the cute coats, they didn't need to wear petticoats for those
@trinity2112 Exactly what I was thinking, and it was very true. Men acted like gentlemen, they treated women like the ladies they were, and the ladies responded in kind by being lady-like and gracious. Men even treated other men with honor and respect. Nowadays, a lot of men act like kids, and treat both women and fellow men unkindly and crudely. In response, women have lost a lot of respect for guys today because of this immaturity, so they themselves don't see a reason to act like "ladies"
@trinity2112 well my mom was "born" in the 50s. to bad she was like 3 when it ended ! you need to be born before the 50s to be old enough to feel it ya know.
Oh yes people had so much respect for others that black people were forced to drink from different water fountains, sit at the back of buses and seggregated from society, women were oppressed, and the working class lived in absolute poverty. I agree that manners and custom were better back then but all in all it was not a great era in regards to equality. I think the 50s is overly romanticised. It was a glamorous time but it had a lot of problems as well.
How I love the 40s and the eternal beauty that has existed in that time. It shall never be forgotten. I love singing the way the women sang in that time (classic) and if your heart wishes you can visit my channel to hear me sing Marilyn Monroe songs and loads more. Thank You dear, Sandra xox

And for all of your negative and disaparraging comments- the time refledted the ideal American way and there was? is NOTHING wrong with aspiring towards soemthing that is better.

@RealityHurts923 ..Dont need to 'know' anyone here in order to comment on their 'boorish' manner and opinions...I'm not mad- just stating what I know...Yourn vulgar langauge ( GTFO ) just proves the point of how LOW society's manners have sunk sonce the 50's - and I guarentee you wouldn't talk that way to my face ! Now...back to HOW beautiful ladies clothes were back then....!
@superbruce You get offended over some vulgar language and try to act like people didnt use such language in the 1950's or earlier. Your a fucking moron.I guarantee I would tell you this to your face tough guy and it is you that you run away and cry because of the vulgar language that I use to tell you what a fucking troll you are.Now shut up and move on.
@RealityHurts923 -they used it, just sparingly and when it was warranted- not like the trogladite that you are ,whose greatest vocabulary is limited to the f-bomb ! Say -what is a creep like you doing looking a ladies fashions anyhow ? You are probably poorly educated, unsophisicated and unwordly.(btw...I'm 47 and could kick your red-neck butt back to 'the 50's" if need be....
@superbruce Your funny Old man.Ill give you that.You ask me what I'm doing here on a fashion video but yet your here too.Right there you show just how brilliant your thinking is.And BTW, the title say "Fashion In The 1950's" not "Woman's Fashion" genius.Either your already going blind or YOU are the one who is poorly educated.And LOL @ "Red-Neck"! First time I here someone call someone of my race that.Trust me, you wouldn't even land a punch by the time I would be done with you and I mean DONE.
@RealityHurts923 dude..I am in the design industry ( whats your reason? ) and unless you are prepared to discuss the New Look ( or the New Deal, lol), Balenciaga vs. Balmain, A-lines, H-lines and crinolines.. then YOU are out of your league..Oh, and uh..'redneck' is a behavior,attitude and demeanor AND they also come in all different 'colors' and 'races'.....
@superbruce There are over 155,000 reasons if you haven't noticed why someone would watch a video about "Fashion in the 1950's". Are they to automatically assume that its specifically about women fashion?Is it such a crime to be interested and open to history? I'm in the Entertainment Industry so when we need Costume design, I'll be sure to keep you in mind.I didn't realize that today society stopped referring generally to certain White people as being Rednecks.Guess I missed those headlines.
i find most of the dress in this video are really beautiful. i'm 22, and i may not know anything about the 50s, except for the fashion, classy, elegant, sophisticated, etc. compared to the fashion that we have now.
@cardiologist1989 Sexism, or men and women understanding their roles, responsibilities, and raising their children? Horrible, I know. I'm going to go cry about being a breadwinner now ("it's so SEXIST!!!").
I'm only 14 and after watching episode after episode of "I Love Lucy" I have taken very deep interest and love of 50's fashion. I love my new style and couldn't care less what people think, this era was fashion at it's very best especially for women. Classy, neat, well-groomed and sexy even. And the men, my! Didn't they just look dashing! Oh boy, I would have loved to live during this time.
@92kid1 I agree 100%. Men looked so charming in those days! Neat and classy! Nowadays we get some boys in skinny jeans that always look a tad too small, beanies, and hair that covers half their face..
i loved how things were back then... like how people would get dressed to step out of there house... and even when they were in the house they dressed nice .. not careing what people would think about them but dressing good for themselvs. i love it.. like people would go out to a restaruant , the circus , the grocery store etc etc and yet they would dress up nice and clean. now its like people dress to go out with stains and flip flops and shitty clothes. everything used to be an experience...
Come one everyone! Let's all dress like back in the 1950's.. I do it and people look at me. BUT IDC, Cuz I'm unique!!!!!!!! and maybe we can bring it back
im 17 and i love the 1950's styles, especially poodle skirts and halterneck shirts and dresses, i love the elegance and class and the natural beauty woman had back then, not like most of girls today, no standards or morals. they need to bring back these kinds of styles i would be the first in line:)
@kokocandykane447 I could tell you websites that sell authentic fifties clothing, glasses,shoes,etc. I am planning to buy saddleshoes, cat's eye glasses,crinolines,etc. I love that era. The music,cars,styles, designs. Better than today.
I love the styles of the 50's!! My mom wore alot of these styles and she always looked good. Today, it's like alot of young girls (teens and 20's) don't care how they look. I'm a 3rd shift cashier at a 24 hour Walmart and I see young girls either looking like they just rolled out of bed or they look really sleazy. It's like the self respect and dignity in yourself has skipped a generation or two. Granted, I'm in my mid 30's, but I know how to dress nice when needed. JMO.
Same here, every time I go out to the store, or when I work, I see women and girl dressed just so horrible. I work at a corner store and I see so many ugly people, only once in a while you see a pretty girl roll up dressed all beautiful and classy! <3
I think women looked prettier in the 50s, they looked more feminine. It seems to me people knew how to dress their bodies. Even women's hair in the 50s was more elegant.
Today people look like the roll out of bed and walk out the door.
Another thing... back then, boys and men cut their hair short and combed their hair neatly to the side, and men were much better looking back then. No one wore their shorts so that their underwear was exposed. Women were much classier back as well, men acted like men and women acted like women, just like the way it's supposed to be.
50s A line dresses are so my thing, those women were real beautifull not vulgure like now, the idea of looking beautifull is to look plain vulgure and as much of a slag as possible, and why make an effort just look plain ugly how about lookin like a man, thats what now.
@smuchh111 i adore 40's, and 50's fashion, the hairstyles, the clothes, the make up.
i guess i like alternative clothing though so i sometimes shop at 'rockabilly' clothing stores, i bought a really gorgeous flowing halter dress recently, i apreciate that style much more over todays fashion. im 16 btw :)
It says a womans place was at home in 1950s and i supposse they did all the house work too, but they still looked immaculate, love those A line dresses and not a hair out of place, so good, so classy, look at women now, even if a woman tries to looklike a woman they get jealous and redicule them for what ? for looking beautifull just as a woman should look.
@JosephMBoyer My God, you have no idea what I would do to be a woman in those days...I couldnt agree more though, all these fake celebrities and what trash the media percieves to be "beautiful".
Because if a girl wears jeans, she is no longer a "real chick" and has become just like a guy. Is that what you are saying? That's funny. Real Chick= what one becomes if wearing a skirt. haha
Glad you found what you were looking for in Europe.
The 50s were the American Golden Era, on the outside things were nice but truly on the inside there was some bad stuff going. The things I love about this decade was that people were classy, and had respect for themselves and partners, also people were very very family oriented.
Same with the guys. It's really sad to see them now. Lowlife, lazy, drug users. All men are pigs but at least back then they would take care of their kids.
@kallemick So true!!! Women looked like ladies in those days! Feminine and classy. Men looked like men in those days too. Masculine and slick in their fitted suits and shiny dress shoes.
@fashionhistorylover The clothes might have been a bit uncomfortable, yes, but at least people had a sense of "self-respect" by taking the time to groom themselves nicely and dressing well. I don't mean dressing to the nines, but just dressing neatly and nicely. It was self-dignity that you rarely see today. Today, the majority of people are lazy, they don't bother. They want comfort over style, but dressing well takes energy and a bit of work, but I think it's worth it, worth one's dignity.
@CallMeGeek im sorry but the girls are really slutty looking today and fat and all that kind of stuff.... atleast here in denmark maybe its different elsewhere
The 50's was the best era that the U.S. ever had. We look back at nostalgia because we know this in our heart. They had low crime, cities were more attractive, better music and people were more optimistic about the future.
@friscolobo The clothes, the style, the cars, the music...the way people acted toward eachother...yes there were problems but there are always problems. If I could get into a time machine and go back to 1950 I would.
@friscolobo i completely agree with your stating that people were more optimistic about the future because people really thought the future was bright and they seem to have thought it would bring endless possibilities.
My nostalgic music channel features so far, over 250 playlists by artist and year.
I chose your video for it's fantasticness !
Years 1950-1975 each play for an hour and the whole past century will soon, as well.choose a year and spend some moments in another time and place......
Folks who lived during their teenage years during the 50's had it the best! After the war, there was a mantra for positive music, fashion and style. Of course, I was just an embryo during this period. Ha
Haha well I didn't mean that, I'm studying that in history right now and yes segregation and communism isn't so fun, I meant the music and style is what I love :)
Yeah, that's all the 50's was...you were there, right? When people look back on your enlightened self 50 years from now I hope you're around to see people denegrate your memories as nothing but technology addiction, gay marriage, and political lies.
Always a good song to sing along with.

Now...back to HOW beautiful ladies clothes were back then....!

@superbruce You get offended over some vulgar language and try to act like people didnt use such language in the 1950's or earlier. Your a fucking moron.I guarantee I would tell you this to your face tough guy and it is you that you run away and cry because of the vulgar language that I use to tell you what a fucking troll you are.Now shut up and move on.

You are probably poorly educated, unsophisicated and unwordly.(btw...I'm 47 and could kick your red-neck butt back to 'the 50's" if need be....

@superbruce Your funny Old man.Ill give you that.You ask me what I'm doing here on a fashion video but yet your here too.Right there you show just how brilliant your thinking is.And BTW, the title say "Fashion In The 1950's" not "Woman's Fashion" genius.Either your already going blind or YOU are the one who is poorly educated.And LOL @ "Red-Neck"! First time I here someone call someone of my race that.Trust me, you wouldn't even land a punch by the time I would be done with you and I mean DONE.

@RealityHurts923 dude..I am in the design industry ( whats your reason? ) and unless you are prepared to discuss the New Look ( or the New Deal, lol), Balenciaga vs. Balmain, A-lines, H-lines and crinolines.. then YOU are out of your league..Oh, and uh..'redneck' is a behavior,attitude and demeanor AND they also come in all different 'colors' and 'races'.....
superbruce 1 year ago
@superbruce There are over 155,000 reasons if you haven't noticed why someone would watch a video about "Fashion in the 1950's". Are they to automatically assume that its specifically about women fashion?Is it such a crime to be interested and open to history? I'm in the Entertainment Industry so when we need Costume design, I'll be sure to keep you in mind.I didn't realize that today society stopped referring generally to certain White people as being Rednecks.Guess I missed those headlines.

I'm only 14 and after watching episode after episode of "I Love Lucy" I have taken very deep interest and love of 50's fashion. I love my new style and couldn't care less what people think, this era was fashion at it's very best especially for women. Classy, neat, well-groomed and sexy even. And the men, my! Didn't they just look dashing! Oh boy, I would have loved to live during this time.

i loved how things were back then... like how people would get dressed to step out of there house... and even when they were in the house they dressed nice .. not careing what people would think about them but dressing good for themselvs. i love it.. like people would go out to a restaruant , the circus , the grocery store etc etc and yet they would dress up nice and clean. now its like people dress to go out with stains and flip flops and shitty clothes. everything used to be an experience...

I love the styles of the 50's!! My mom wore alot of these styles and she always looked good. Today, it's like alot of young girls (teens and 20's) don't care how they look. I'm a 3rd shift cashier at a 24 hour Walmart and I see young girls either looking like they just rolled out of bed or they look really sleazy. It's like the self respect and dignity in yourself has skipped a generation or two. Granted, I'm in my mid 30's, but I know how to dress nice when needed. JMO.

I think women looked prettier in the 50s, they looked more feminine. It seems to me people knew how to dress their bodies. Even women's hair in the 50s was more elegant.
Today people look like the roll out of bed and walk out the door.

Another thing... back then, boys and men cut their hair short and combed their hair neatly to the side, and men were much better looking back then. No one wore their shorts so that their underwear was exposed. Women were much classier back as well, men acted like men and women acted like women, just like the way it's supposed to be.

Because if a girl wears jeans, she is no longer a "real chick" and has become just like a guy. Is that what you are saying? That's funny. Real Chick= what one becomes if wearing a skirt. haha

The 50s were the American Golden Era, on the outside things were nice but truly on the inside there was some bad stuff going. The things I love about this decade was that people were classy, and had respect for themselves and partners, also people were very very family oriented.

@kallemick It's very sad. I mean what is the problem with trying to look good and having style? When did everything become too relaxed?
If you watch the show "What Not to Wear" they try to instill style in women. They actually encourage some of those 50s styles.

fashionhistorylover 1 year ago
@fashionhistorylover The clothes might have been a bit uncomfortable, yes, but at least people had a sense of "self-respect" by taking the time to groom themselves nicely and dressing well. I don't mean dressing to the nines, but just dressing neatly and nicely. It was self-dignity that you rarely see today. Today, the majority of people are lazy, they don't bother. They want comfort over style, but dressing well takes energy and a bit of work, but I think it's worth it, worth one's dignity.

The 50's was the best era that the U.S. ever had. We look back at nostalgia because we know this in our heart. They had low crime, cities were more attractive, better music and people were more optimistic about the future.
