In the 1950s, women wanted to look tailored and put together. Young women usually wore dresses which had a swing skirt, one type being a poodle skirt, and older women usually wore dresses which had a pencil skirt and bolero sleeves. In addition, gloves and heels were popular accessories. Men preferred to wear five button jackets, white socks with white buckskin shoes, and trousers with top waist pleats and turn ups. In general, popular fifties attire included cashmere sweaters, pedal pushers, black and white t-shirts with rolled up sleeves, black leather jackets, and scarves.
