Pencil skirts were still worn with
sweaters or even back to front
cardigans that had been pressed
super flat.
A well groomed woman of the 1950s
would accessorize an outfit with gloves,
stockings and a good leather
handbag. Part of that grooming was to
wear a good corselette. Women were
carefully corseted to help them
achieve hour glass figures and a wasp
waist. The corsetry was not as severe
as in earlier eras, but undergarments
that were quite structured were worn to
give the correct body silhouette where
required. A less structured silhouette
did not truly arrive until the 1960s. The
1950s was a period of glamorous
underwear, pretty petticoats and all
made in fabrics without Lycra added.

Introduction
The pompadour first came into fashion
in the 1950s as such American icons
as Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash
sang their rockabilly tunes while
sporting a pompadour. While it lost its
popularity toward the end of the last
century, it still makes frequent
appearances in period movies and as
a finishing touch to a Halloween
costume.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You'll Need
* Pomade
* Comb
* Water
Steps
1
Step One
Wet your hair slightly. Be sure not to
soak your hair so that it is dripping, but
simply add a little water to your hair so
that it is damp to the touch.
2
Step Two
Scoop a half-dollar size amount of
pomade into your palm and rub it
between your hands to heat it up. By
heating the pomade with your hands, it
is easier to work into your hair.
3
Step Three
Apply the pomade to your hair by first
slicking the sides of your hair back with
your hands. Then apply the rest of the
pomade to the top of your hair in a
similar fashion by working the product
from back to front. If you feel you need
a little more pomade because of the
length of your hair, warm it up in your
hands before applying to the top of
your head.
4
Step Four
Create the pompadour style by using
your comb. If you've ever seen an
episode of Happy Days, then you can
mimic the Fonz on how he would style
his pompadour. Comb the hair back on
each side of your head. Make sure
that the hair is tight to the scalp. Next,
choose a side on the top of your head
and comb the hair diagonally while
lifting up with your comb. This will give
your hair height, while at the same time
creating the pompadour style. Give
your wrist a final "flick" at the end to
allow a few hairs to curl down over the
front of your forehead.
Tips & Warnings
* You may also use wax if you cannot
find pomade. And if you're really a die
hard, you can also go for Vaseline,
although it's tough to wash out.
* To reset the style once the product
is in (say after a few hours,) simply
moisten your hair and re-comb as
described. It will hold for another few
hours.

Hot Products of the ‘50s
There were certain 1950’s makeup
products that defined the trends of the
time. They included:
* Bright Red Lipstick/Nail Polish:
Everywhere you went; 1950's women
were donning scarlet lips and matching
fingernails.
* Pan Cake Foundation: A much-
thicker version of today’s foundation, it
covered blemishes and imperfections
with a thick coating.
* Liquid Eyeliner: It was a stylish
1950’s makeup trend to wear a thick,
bold line across the top eyelid,
accompanied by two coats of black
mascara.
* Rosy Blush: Two circles on the
apples of the cheeks, the blush added
back some of the color taken away with
the foundation.
