The 1950s was a decade of glamour, femininity and the return of European haute couture. Unlike the ’40s, designers of 1950s women’s fashion didn’t have to worry about the war when producing the trends of the day.\u00a0Materials, styles and designs considered unpatriotic to wear just a few years prior were eagerly embraced in the ’50s. Designers weren’t the only influences on ’50s fashion. As more Americans fell in love with the silver screen, the fashion choices of Hollywood celebrities like\u00a0Marilyn Monroe<\/a>, Audrey Hepurn, Elizabeth Taylor and others influenced what a lady wanted to buy for her own wardrobe. In the ’50s, women were hungry for style and the fashion freedom of the era inspired her gorgeous girl within to scream,\u00a0“I am woman — see me dress!”\u00a0<\/em> Keep reading after the jump to learn how 1950s vintage style<\/a>, tastes and trends can grow any girl’s wardrobe into one meant for a woman!<\/p>\n

I personally believe that the ’50s was the last decade of fashion for “a lady.” Later decades never embraced the female shape and elegance the same way as the ’50s, with\u00a01960s fashion<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a01970s clothing<\/a>\u00a0more focused on eclectic style and self-expression.
