What was your favourite mode of dress ,hairstyle ,when you where younger ,or now?

Answer 1

Back in the early 60's my favourite clothes were tight pencil skirts. I went to a Youth Club dance and was invited up onto the stage but, unfortunately with my white stilettos and my tight white pencil skirt, I couldn't get my knees apart to make it onto the first step. I had to be lifted.
If I was to wear this outfit now I would probably fall over in fact I am having a giggle now imagining my size 18 frame in a little white pencil skirt

Answer 2

I was lucky enough to have been in my teens in the fifties, when girls clothes were oh! so feminine. Dresses with full circular skits and bodices that were darted to enhance our figures, under which we would wear those, sugar-watered stiffened, petticoats ~ layers and layers of them. Elastic belts that encircled our 18" waists. Silk stockings and stiletto or court shoes ~~ didn't go too much for the Winkle Pickers though, as they curled up at the toes! Flowing page-boy styled locks or neat ducktail cuts. Just a hint of lipstick and powder and a dash of Evening in Paris perfume dabbed on our pulses.

For casual wear, pedal-pushers or jeans, topped with cute fitted or shirt waister blouses/shirts. Socks worn with moccasins, Hair worn in a high pony tail.

No other style has ever equalled those of the fifties......Well not for me, anyway.

Oh! and before I forget. Few teenagers wore shop made dresses or blouses ~~ we made them ourselves, so we were unique in that ,nobody ever wore the same as anyone else.

Answer 3

You know...nothing much has changed!

I grew up in an age when school rules said all girls HAD to wear skirts or dresses, and the gym uniforms made you look like an overstuffed cupie doll. As soon as I got home, I would change into my Levis, and feel human again. As to my hair...my natural curls are pretty unruly. So whether my hair was short or long I just pretty well let my natural curls do their thing.

Now, I wear my naturally curly hair short, but am in the process of trying to grow it long. It is actually in that in-between stage when it could be more nicely referred to as "fright wig stage". But since I hardly ever look in a mirror, it doesn't tend to bother me. And I switched out of Levis a few years ago. Now my preferred jean has a bit of stretch to allow comfort for my rather more "rounded" stomach.

But I still remain something of a non-conformist. I don't ever slave myself to fashion trends in ANYTHING.

Answer 4

I was a long haired Hippie/Biker/dropout type for about 25 years then one day I was offered a job in the civil service and the hair came off and has stayed off. I would grow it back but there's that strange point when it's neither short or long and just looks silly that I don't think I could go through again!

Answer 5

I remember runnining down a hill to a lake with red hair as wild as Joplin's down to my butt. I don't remember the clothes I left in the VW bonafide hippiemobile, but I would love to have that body back for a week. I would be good to it now. I would also throw those Navy surplus bellbottoms on and scout up a blouse.

Answer 6

Hip hugger bell bottom jeans with wide belt, with T-shirts, matching socks or shoes.

The same style of clothes back in 1968 when I was a senior in high school is the same as now.

When I look at my 13 year old daughter, I always tell her that is exactly what I wore in high school!

Answer 7

Now? Shorts, tank top and flip flops. I have a very active lifestyle and there isn't much time for dressing up, except for the odd evening event.
Then? Nylons, heels, slim skirts and long sleeved blouses. Typical 'business' attire.

Answer 8

I wore bell bottoms and halter tops. I love tie-dye, the more colorful, the better. I had long, straight hair and was considered a hippie. My husband still calls me one.
In high school, "dittos" were the pants to wear. My mom was raising 4 kids by herself so we couldn't afford them. I remember being excited because my best friend gained weight so I finally got a pair. Of course by then, they were going out of style.

Answer 9

basically a " greaser style " of the 50's. remember ? black jeans, motorcycle boots, motorcycle jacket, a colored tee shirt with a cigarette pack in a rolled up sleeve, as for hair style either a duck's as-, a Detroit ( flat top with fenders -longer hair combed back on the sides ) a flat top, or a butch.

still wearing the same basic style with a few minor changes. hair cut differently of course since I'm losing a lot of my hair.

Answer 10

Smart casual, comfortable, non conformist, maybe a touch bohemian, and long wavy hair. Nothing too extreme and definitely not a dedicated follower of fashion. Nothing has changed much over the years.
