1940's and 1950's Fashion and Life!

[@angellee4007]

This has to be the most happiest, colorful, and fashionable era of humanity ever. Oh how I wish to live in this time period.

[@noafeinberg9697]

Me too!

[@emiliareimann]

oh yes, the happiest moment of this era was WW2

[@lindamonroe7724]

I love 50's fashion, it's so classy and no men looked them up and down constantly, it looks so polished and beautiful. Even though girdles probably weren't the best.

[@anonymousmortal810]

Me too! 50s fashion is so classyy

[@Steven_Rowe]

The 40s and 50s were classy. The 60s started off ok. Women looked like women and men like I at least was taught respect for women and girls, you never hit a girl, you never swore in front of a girl, you gave a lady a seat on he bus or train and opened a door for a woman. Even today my wife of 40 years likes me to open the car door etc. But to see nice skirts and dresses was so lovely. Even in school in the 60s the girls wore pretty shoes and vows and ribbons. And how,lovely was Audrey Hepburn.

My grandmother wore 40s and 50s style clothing and she looked exactly like a Hollywood movie star-you’d have never known she was another beautiful woman,but she’d have made a wonderful Hollywood movie star. She had a natural look,and was never a movie star,but she was more beautiful than any lady actress and she never wore any makeup like a Hollywood actresses did.

[@wini4933]

Ok..

[@devonmatthews6443]

You have hots for your grandmother

[@vickinoeske1711]

Loved the moll with her elbow on the car window. Now she had attitude.

[@sharrelgoh]

I always love to look at the shoes they wore in the 40s /50s or even earlier decades..high heels, flats etc..I admire them a lot.. most looked very good qualities...above all..never outdated.. would still be very much in trend if kept till now:)

[@susielewis416]

I still love shirt waist dresses

[@harrodsfan]

Excellent post with accumulation of vintage photos.

Back when a woman was a woman and a man was a man.

[@carroyo911]

And they were proud of who they were...

[@Freetown00]

There were transgenders since the beginning of time if that’s what you’re referring to

[@simosc2]

breathtaking

[@misfithomemaker3683]

We are going to be watching this for homeschool. Yes we did notice that everyone is white, not only in this video, but in all videos from this time. This is educational in and of itself. My daughter is euro- Moroccan/arabic, so we have discussed race. These videos are very valuable some show attitudes toward women as well. My daughter loves fashion and period clothing and she also has asked me what things cost then, I'm so glad you included that. Thankyou

[@detectivefiction3701]

No, I've seen several other montage videos (not fashion ones specifically) from the 1950s and earlier decades that have black and Asian people in them. Check out Recollection Road's decade montages and just random videos of pedestrians from various eras. Heck, I even saw one such video from 1904 or so that had a white and a black guy walking down the street together, and another one from the 1930s where a black little girl and a white little girl were eating together in a park. Moreover, there are whole KZbin channels that just have photos of black Americans from the past. You really ought to broaden your perspective. Just two examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKmkhX2ci5aHarc kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnWYfpKkaMaJbMk

Saddle shoes are the best.

Notice none of them had tattoos, stretched ears, swore, smoked pot or drank excessively. Those truly were the good times, classy people. No one has class now a days. I don't mean you have to be a prude, but you also don't have to be a scumbag either.

[@eiram2006]

tattoos and stretched ears I'll give you, but swore, smoked pot or drank excessively? How do you know? These were still pictures, a split second of these people's lives. You have no idea the smoking, drinking or swearing habits of any of these people.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

eiram2006 You said it Sister !! Thank you for replying Excactley what I was about to. 😘

[@chuy8356]

And how do you know they did smoke pot or drank excessively. There's no drinking or smoking marijuana in any of the pictures. There's also no swearing in any of the pictures as well.

[@chuy8356]

Oh god, you just agree with eiram because she's defending your vile lifestyle.

[@coloneljackmustard]

Hardly anyone, during the 1940s and 50s smoked pot and swearing was highly socially unacceptable for young women. Chuy83's assessment is historically accurate.

[@nandinibandhini]

Excuse me? What do you mean by white only? Sounds very biased.

[@MayorOfMoetown]

classy ,white and attractive.

[@Ella-yz2ss]

White?

[@Michelle-jz8vl]

MayorOfMoetown Your a disgusting racist! I hate bigots like you.

[@coloneljackmustard]

Seconded!

[@coloneljackmustard]

I hate diversity freaks like you. Nothing wrong or racist with preferring one's race over others.

[@thepatriarch6144]

@@Michelle-jz8vl In group preference is not only natural but also good it's literally the reason why human civilizations are distinct.

[@brigittebeltran6701]

Music inappropriate for demonstrating style and grace. Very annoying!!! May I suggest Nat King Cole or Ckaude de Bassey?

[@wonderfeline]

Good video, great clothes, but why did you only select photos with white people in them?

[@pamriquel]

nefferthewonderpup I didn't even notice. I took these pics from Pinterest. I'm from Canada and a first generation immigrant. Are you from the U.S.? Here in Canada we don't really look at people and judge them for their colour. I just liked the outfits, not the skin colour of the person. I find this question very odd in reference to where I'm from.

[@wonderfeline]

Shesasupergeek You mean there are not any people of color in Canada? (joking) Where were your family from? I live in the US. I have several Ladies Home Journal magazines from the late 1940's, and the pages of those only show Anglo/white people, too. It's very strange to look at the advertisements and articles from women's magazines of that time -- hilarious but kind of horrible, too. =}

[@ilovefashion-shesasupergee6019]

I was born in South America, Chile to be exact. I am also part Native as well. This video all started out with my mom asking me to find some of the fashions that she used to wear. I saved them for her so she could look at the video when she wanted to.

[@themayqueen666]

It's because whites looked down on poc. So no surprise there are more photos of whites.

[@如是青山]

If you don't want and you get offended go find some colors model ,that's simple no drama Damn glad I'm Asian I don't care skin color because we are not drama queen like you ?😪😪😪😪😪😪😪

[@alexandrebrossard3957]

Where is poodle skirt???

[@miriambucholtz9315]

Or the dark blue quilted skirts that were popular around 1954 or so?

[@SirParcifal]

those are the 50s

[@brigittebeltran6701]

That came in 50's...was more of a teenage fad!
