5.Poodle Skirts and High Heels

The women’s style was very different to those before the time period. My grandma had to wear very different styles to her school and when she was out with friends. To school girls were not allowed to wear pants or short skirts like they can now. Then they would have to wear long skirts or poodle skirts. She said all of her friends had similar skirts with a poodle in the bottom corner of it. With the skirts they would usually wear saddle shoes, loafers, or white bucks. All of these shoes looked very similar. When my grandma was not in school she would often times wear dickeys which were a brand of jean in the fifties and I believe it is still around now. Also she would very high heel shoes when she would wear skirts. The skirts that she wore were very wide at the bottom. Due to this women would wear slips under the skirts often a color that would match the outfit that they were wearing.
