There were two specific eras of style in the ‘50s decade. The early ‘50s were devoted to poodle skirts and modest white blouses with black and white Oxford shoes. Women preferred to look young and innocent into their 20s, with ribbons tied in their curled ponytails. Common styles in this time period were poodle skirts, which were originally designed by Christian Dior, cardigan sweaters, a boyfriend’s varsity jacket, and white folded socks with Oxford or Mary Jane shoes.
