In the late 40s, Western fashion came to the Soviet Union, where it was welcomed by most of the youth and condemned by the senior audience. But despite everything, many young people wore bright clothes, danced their dances and created their own slang language.
Their clothes were torn at discos, they were ridiculed at meetings and even expelled from parties. Thanks to rebellious behavior and perseverance from the distant 50s, dresses in the style of style return to us. The style was especially popular after the release of the movie "Hipsters." Let's find out a little more about them.
What kind of style?
Dandies are a new image of post-war time. In the 50s and 60s, young girls preferred colorful, open or with a small sleeve dresses emphasizing femininity:
- Some in shape resembled a tulip, because they had a fitted top and a fluffy skirt.
- The second looked like an hourglass - these are tight-fitting dresses, a little flared below. They came into fashion later.
Bright colors, eye-catching accessories, a high hairstyle along with a shortened length were a rebellion against established moral standards.
Length
Any hint of vulgarity was eradicated in the Soviet Union, and clothing was restrained.
If the top of dresses was made out in a variety of ways, then when choosing a length, several options were followed: knee-deep and ankle-deep.
Girls of that time played with long, putting on or not putting on a petticoat under a magnificent dress.
Styles
Puffy dresses
A fitted top, an elegant waist, a wide belt, a falling skirt and a multi-layer petticoat are integral parts of a dress called the sun-flared or simply A-silhouette.
Such dresses can be combined with a variety of options for necklines and sleeves.
The bodice is decorated with a round, round and V-neck or in the form of a bandeau, and also use bows, lapels and collars.
As for the sleeves, there is also something to choose from:
- short flashlight;
- direct;
- semicircular;
- slightly covering shoulders;
- straps - thin, wide and medium width.
Direct
Entered into fashion in the 60s, straight dresses covered the hips and narrowed to the knees, but there were also free models. For many years, nothing has changed. Pockets and a thin belt at the waist are also used, which makes it more refined, and a variety of cutouts add a twist.
As in the previous style, straight dresses are decorated with different shapes of necklines. The neck can be decorated with a round and V-neck, lapel, collar.
Sleeves - straight, short, with a flashlight, wide straps on the shoulders or through the neck.
Color
If you are going to a graduation party, wedding or party with the appropriate theme of the 50-60s, the outfit should be bright, regardless of whether it is monophonic or colored.
In a word, screaming that their owner has a concept of style and is not afraid to stand out from the gray mass.
There are no restrictions on the choice of color. The main thing is that the color scheme is to your face.
Contemporaries liked models that combine different colors, striped, checked, and a very popular dress with polka dots.
The cheerful spirit of dudes was expressed using contrasts. They were not afraid to mix yellow with red, blue, black and white.
This style is also characterized by large catchy flowers and a floral print.
In everyday life, style dresses can be used. As a rule, they are plain, discreet color.
The color of the multilayer petticoat plays an important role. He is picked up for a dress of the same or different color. It looks seductive when the petticoat frames the legs and peeks out from under the skirt.
Cocktail and evening
Keeping the classic silhouette, designers experiment with the forms of stylish dresses. The unusual cut of the skirt, the American form, feathers and asymmetry make it possible to look stylish and creative at the party.
Graduation
Often, at the graduation, we can’t decide on the model, and since the style is still in fashion, it will now become a little easier.
Modern retro clothing stores will provide you with a huge selection of models, and if the outfits do not seem interesting, you can find a suitable dress in any evening dress store.
Now designers have refreshed old models and given them glamor and shine with stones, rhinestones, sparkles. These dresses are made of satin and crepe satin, which shimmer under the rays of the sun or artificial light and help you look great.
Wedding
Wedding dresses of this style combine femininity and arrogance.
The cut will emphasize the dignity, and hide the existing flaws of the figure:
- The top in the open version is sophisticated hands, pretty shoulders and a graceful neck of a young one.
- A cut with a narrowed waist will visually make the bride slimmer, and a multilayer skirt of medium length will hide the flaws of the hips, and emphasize the harmony of the legs.
Wedding dresses are made of satin and silk in different color variations and with different prints, for example, polka dots, checkered.
Classic white models with bright finishes (with colored petticoats complemented by a belt, bow or flowers) also remain popular.
A harmonious image will develop if elements of the style are present in the groom’s outfit.
What to wear
As always and invariably, the main rule applies - do not overdo it. Everything should be combined according to the drawing and color scheme.
The completeness of your image will be given by:
- large brooch or beads;
- round or small earrings;
- scarf made of light fabrics;
- girdle;
- gloves to match the dress.
Lacquered shoes and a handbag look advantageous. You can tie a scarf on your head.
Makeup
Bright makeup corresponds to bright makeup:
- black arrows;
- shade to match;
- blush
- red lips.
Hairstyle
Stylish dresses are successfully combined with:
- lush hairstyles;
- shells;
- different curls and styling;
- Do not neglect the fleece with the volume on the crown decorated with curled strands on the sides.
A variety of hairbands, headbands, hairpins, bows and small hats are suitable for such hairstyles.
Dresses in the style of the style blow rebellion and playfulness, ardor and risk, but at the same time emphasize the femininity and tenderness of the owner of the outfit.
Carry, experiment and remember the golden rule "Everything needs to know the measure."
How I love these dresses! I will not dare to buy in any way, but I dream of making a birthday in this style. This is fun!
