Ideas for 50s Costumes
The 1950s was a time when rock and roll became popular. There are many great ideas, such as greaser, sock hop, and diner waitress that you can use if you are planning on going to a costume or Halloween party.

Greaser: This look is inspired from the musical called "Grease". Get some hair pomade and apply it to your hair. Slick your hair back. Make sure that you keep a comb in your front pocket. Purchase a plain white t-shirt, and jeans that are straight legged. Roll up the cuffs on the jeans. Purchase some loafers or canvas tennis shoes. Get a leather jacket and wear it with the collar turned up.
Sock hop girl: A sock hop was a place for teens to meet other teens and hang out. Purchase a poodle skirt at a costume store that is located near you. Get a pearl necklace and a sweater that matches the skirt. Wear some bobby socks and canvas tennis shoes to complete the look.
Car hop waitress: Purchase a circular skirt, white ankle socks, and a white t-shirt. Add an apron that can be found at a restaurant with a pad of paper and pencil in the pockets. Add some straws, napkins, and other materials that you could find in a car hop waitress' pocket. Get some toy plastic food and glue it onto a serving tray. Wear some roller skates and carry the tray to complete this look. |
