The post-war years left their mark on the development of fashion of that time. Then I wanted something bright, new. Light industry worked “according to the standard”, therefore both the length and width of clothing parts were strictly regulated. And if you wanted something exclusive, go to an individual seamstress, but such things were much more expensive.
American fashion of the 50s
Voluminous trouser-pants with a leather belt and “broad-shouldered” skinny jackets were still present in men’s wardrobes, while the newly emerged fashionistas, who were becoming more and more numerous, had already forgotten this “zoot” style. The men were happy to buy moderately wide jackets and trousers in large cotton checks. Dark, solid gray colors were also in fashion.
At the peak of popularity were the “square” jacket and loose, slightly tapered trousers with pressed cuffs. It turned out well to combine a gray “mouse” bottom and a bright top. Blue, burgundy, and brown were in favor.A light, plain shirt and a narrow tie were the prerogative of the “business man” of that time. They also wore soft, narrow-brimmed hats, but with the advent of the personal car, the need for a headdress gradually disappeared.
Hats and coats
Were popular caps, military caps, sometimes soft felt hats. In winter - fur hats, but only those who could afford it. The thick cotton drape coat was made from hard overcoat cloth, so it was heavy and bulky. Only towards the end of the decade did lighter versions of outerwear begin to appear.

Underwear
Here the standard is a white or blue T-shirt and family shorts. The latter were called “simplified smooth” and had regulated sewing parameters.
Bobochka
A special pride of the 50s fashionista can be considered a jacket just below the waist with a short or long zipper with a bright insert along the top and often with pockets on the chest. They were called "beans" but in big cities such clothes could be called "Muscovites" And "Leningradkas" and God knows how.

Shoes
Here you can note army boots, shoes like Oxfords, chuvyaki (summer shoes), canvas shoes that were rubbed with chalk. Chrome boots with transverse creases were considered especially chic. Galoshes, leggings, burkas – you don’t need to talk about these simple shoes, they are number 1 in everyday use.
In the men's wardrobe, voluminous clothing was in the lead. Things “from someone else’s shoulder” were considered “correct”, so no one cared about “shot” trousers or short sleeves. Light industry gradually developed synthetics conquered fashion horizons. It was cheaper, dried quickly, and did not require ironing.
