Costumes in the style of 1960s fashion Party in rockabilly style!

1950s Dresses in Many Variations

1950s dresses were a reflection of an era that was once again primarily about enjoying life. Clothing conveyed a sense of joie de vivre and happiness; it was colorful and anything but boring. Bright colors, polka dots, and voluminous outfits were all the rage. Women loved dressing in a very feminine way, and that is exactly what still makes many people hold on to this era today. Ruffle dresses were particularly popular at the time, but circle skirts with matching tulle petticoats were also in fashion. They were usually worn for dancing rock ’n’ roll, and anyone who still reminisces about this era today is sure to wear petticoat dresses to a themed party as well. For the costume to look as authentic as possible, the right hairstyle is also essential. High, teased hair—so-called beehive hairstyles—was absolutely fashionable at the time, so use this information for your next themed party and make a stylish entrance. If your hair is not long enough, we also have great wigs in our accessories range. 1960s fashion was also highly distinctive for men.

1960s Fashion Inspired by Elvis Presley

If you would like to attend a themed party in the style of this era as a couple, your partner should be dressed accordingly too. He could come dressed as Elvis Presley; alternatively, we also offer a Beatles costume. 1950s dresses have their own distinctive style, even without copying famous personalities. When 1960s fashion emerged ten years later, not much was different—the retro look turned it into a very colorful spectacle. Whether a cocktail dress or petticoat dresses, anything that looks good is allowed.
