One of my favourite posts to put together was on ‘1940s Street Style‘. It was fun to browse images and see what everyday folks wore to go shopping, out to dinner, on vacation etc. No pajama pants and track pants here.
The response to this post was so positive, that I decided to do it again with a 1950s version featuring men, women and even children being their stylish selves.
Let the fashion inspiration begin!

Hong Kong, 1950s. I am literally drooling over this woman’s look. I adore how she styled her Cheongsam dress. And can we talk about the mid century design in the background? Yooza! This photo is just the best.
