fifties Costume Ideas
About the Fifties
The decade following World War II, the 1950s, ushered in a new era of optimism. With the children of the Baby Boom generation coming into their teen years and poodle skirts, sock hops, and malt shoppes were all the rage as teen culture reached its peek. Cruising around in a big-finned Cadillac and listening to Connie Francis or Buddy Holly was the ideal way to spend a warm summer night.
Dressing up Fifties
Dust off those saddle shoes and get ready to Twist the night away dressed in fabulous fifties costumes! Ladies can mashed potato to their hearts content in flirty poodle skirts while guys can slick back their hair with a pompadour wig, a black leather jacket, and pegged jeans for a look straight out of Grease. Roll up a pack of candy cigarettes in your t-shirt sleeve for a Marlon Brando-esque look.
