In the 50s, women in Germany felt the real dictates of fashion. In the magazines, a woman’s weekday was painted literally by the hour with detailed instructions on how to dress and how to behave.
For example, for a dinner meeting, it was recommended to wear a checkered double-breasted coat with a straight cut of mohair or a t-shirt, a small flat hat and gloves made of gray leather. When greeting, gloves should not be removed. Upon returning home, you need to put on a cozy lemon-colored bathrobe from a wool bike and put on slippers. The essential attributes of a home holiday are the tabloid newspaper and afternoon nap. At 16 o’clock - a meeting in a cafe. This time in a suit of dark blue or ecru. Of course, in reality no one followed these instructions with absolute accuracy, but in the minds of women the rule was firmly established that during the day you need to be "fully dressed." And here, a suit emphasizing the figure from page 24 came to the rescue, because it was the best suited both for working in the office, formal meetings, and for gatherings with friends in a coffee shop.
A flattering skirt in the spirit has become a wonderful alternative to a narrow suit Christian Dioraccentuating the waist and flowing in soft folds.Such a skirt combines well with shirts, blouses and cardigans, so finding a suitable party for you will not be difficult. You can argue that today a wide skirt looks a bit old-fashioned and even rustic. To see the opposite, just look at its modern interpretation in the slide show!
Romantic, feminine, flowing, light, this skirt simply exudes ease and seems to say that her mistress is doing fine and has no worries. In addition, a flared silhouette and a wide cut allow you to hide some of the flaws of the figure. Things of such a plan are an invaluable find in our fast-moving time, when every minute counts and there is no way to think for a long time and choose what to wear in order to look decent during the day and at the same time feel comfortable and confident. In this regard, a fluffy skirt can be put on a par with a small black dress, but only a skirt is useful for less formal occasions.
