And it did see the birth of the teenager, of a rebellious youth, and the different fashions and styles that came along with it. 01:52 What Men Wore: Hats 02:58 Hair and Facial Hair 05:05 Eyewear 06:00 Waistcoats (Vests) 06:45 Dress Shirts 08:53 Casual Shirts 10:48 Ties 13:57 Suits 16:38 Leisure Jackets and Sport Coats 19:44 Trousers 20:39 Shoes 21:50 Overcoats 22:53 Accessories You can see that the 1950s was a colossal decade for fashion. Despite the post-war issues at the time, consumerism was booming and people were enjoying fashion and freedom to its fullest extent. Casual clothing is becoming much more mainstream, and so most men are ditching the suit after work and slipping into clothes we might recognize ourselves wearing today. This really is such a wide-ranging decade when it comes to clothing, and we hope that we’ve managed to capture most of it to the best of our ability for this video.
