Friday Photo Swoon – Suit Up, Ladies

Highly contoured 1950s suit #vintage #fashion #1950s #suit

Look at that shaping! And the tailoring! And the contours! My oh my, what a good suit can do! A classic suit to most of us would be recognizable back to the 1940s, but they had versions of it before that too. They can simply nod to the masculine or can break the barrier altogether. I happen to think women in sharply tailored men's suits is particularly sexy. But if you want to add a feminine touch, there are plenty of options in the women's suit section too. There are flowy representations in the 30s with hints of the tailored suit and tie look prevalent in men. There are crisply tailored but still contoured 1940s examples. And then there are the hyper curved 1950s suits that require much wiggle and even more girdle. The 1960s got a bit boxier, but even so, what a modern gal deems a modern suit has been in fashion for quite some time.
