As the years go by, new fashion trends emerge. I could look back at different periods of my life through photos and pinpoint exactly what was in style. Whether that be through clothes that I would wear, or even through what my friends were wearing and see what was in.
This idea was the inspiration for my next history post. I wanted to explore what exactly people were wearing throughout the city in the 50s.
Looking through these photographs, I feel like long trench coats were the fashion style back in the 50s. Especially in the cooler months, they go with every outfit.
During my research for this month’s post, some photos were captioned with the subject’s name, however in this case we don’t have the bride and groom’s name. However, what struck me was the bride’s dress. I’ve been so accustomed to seeing floor-length dresses at weddings. This one is made just so that the bride’s shoes peak out. I feel that this is beautiful on the bride, as well as the subtle pearl details on the dress.
