Fashion
1950s fashions emphasized fragile femininity, in the form of soft shoulders, stiletto heels, wrist-length gloves and full, billowing skirts. Even working women's outfits hinted at fragility, with pencil-slim skirts and little hats with veil and feathers.
Men's 1950s fashion was clean cut and conservative
1960's
1960s fashion was much less sexualized than the fashion of the previous decade. 1960s fashion can be neatly divided into two different waves. The first, which ran until 1966, might be called the "modern" wave. After 1966, youth began to take over and set their own dress norms, with predictably disastrous results, bell bottoms, velvet suits and fringed vests.
The 1970's saw a liberation of women sexually and freed them up to wear what they wanted taking them out of the kitchen and into the world. bell bottoms, mini skirt, tube sox
it is evident that men wore either casual or dress clothing of distinct styles. One of the most popular formal wear outfits for a man during this time was the white suit. Bell bottoms, jeans and tight shirts.
