Statement, but expression of a whole attitude to life. Of course, the clothes are always the focus of the rockabilly look, but the accessories and the matching hairstyle are almost as important. With the right styling, the look from Grease still finds many fans today. Especially women love the pin-up look, which makes them look girly and incredibly sexy at the same time. If you’re in the mood for this look, you can also check online where there are many 50s dresses that will turn any woman into a true rockabilly star right away.

This makes the rockabilly style a hit

Saddle shoes, pumps, petticoats and Marlene jeans – these garments put rockabellas’ hearts to sleep. The look is sexy, but also includes the one
or other masculine garment, which is then adapted by feminine accessories. Showing skin is absolutely allowed in rockabilly style, for example through dresses with
heart-shaped neckline, which are made as a halter dress. Super popular are eye-catching patterns like polka dots, cherries or tropical shapes. Stiffs, skulls and sailor looks are also firmly integrated into the rockabilly scene. A must-have for the rockabilly look are high-cut pencil skirts. These can be perfectly combined with rolled up shirts. Skirts and dresses that swing voluminously are also a must. Best of all in the anyway super trendy leo print.

The hairstyle

Also on the head must be worn matching look to the rockabilly style. Very popular are bandanas that are tied around the forehead. It looks great when the hair

are tied into a ponytail and the bangs are pinned back as a quiff. Also in the rockabilly direction are big, open curls and elaborate updos. So you can’t go wrong with high uns, quiffs, rollers and waves.

The Make Up

Characteristic of the pin-up style is a thick, black eyeliner combined with prominent, bright red lips. It is important not to give the impression of a too strong

Make Ups is awakened. A little blush, but only lightly applied, is enough to emphasize the cheeks. The eyeliner gives the impression of seductive cat eyes. Do not forget the mascara, which ensures that the look looks clear and the eyelashes are neatly emphasized. This makes for an irresistible eye look.

The constant change in fashion

The video from Glam.com got to the point, don’t you think? It perfectly shows the different looks of the last 100 years, from the twenties flapper dress to the colourful hippie outfits of the seventies and boyfriend jeans from 2015. Whether on the street, at work, in sports or when going out, people’s outfits have undergone immense changes over the years.

If you look at the working world of the past, you will find nothing in the offices but suits, hats and fine shoes. Today things look different. What started with casual Friday has since been introduced by all employers every day of the week. Even in sport, fashion went through changes. Remember how short those soccer shorts were in the’80s? Those who are still stuck in the same trend of the past – but who knows how long – are the snooker players who still have to show up in their suits. The professional poker players are fashionably seen in a completely different league, they have nevertheless all liberties with the choice of the clothes. From suits to cowboy hat to football jerseys there was almost everything to see at the poker table.

Even here you can see how the trend of fashion over the years has turned into casual, less strict and chic, but comfortable and practical is now the motto. But until people came to today’s look, fashion went through many a social change. We’ve been looking a little closer for the last 100 years.

1920s – The Golden Twenties

Almost 100 years ago, the Golden Twenties, the Roaring Twenties. Not for nothing they were so called, as they were marked of a newly found zest for life, which was really celebrated in this time. Gold and glitter, sequins and feather boas, flapper dresses, headbands and for men dandy suits, suspenders and felt hats were the characteristics of current fashion. The woman’s waist was hidden under short, straight flap dresses, the hair was cut off. The androgynous look experienced its heyday here, after all the woman got a completely new position in society at that time – she even smoked now, but only with a cigarette holder, of course.
1930s – Traditional thirties

Unfortunately, the party mood of the twenties said goodbye to the economic crisis as quickly as it arose. In the 1930s, the style of women changed from glittering party outfits to elegant women’s fashion. The hip experienced a renaissance, which now came to light again with long, tight dresses. Costumes and blouses with large sleeves shaped the street scene. The style icon of this period was undoubtedly Marlene Dietrich, who at that time also made the long, wide trousers, which later became cult Marlene trousers, socially acceptable. Also hats were missing neither with woman nor with man. The latter largely retained their twenties style with suits and suspenders.

1940 – Circumstances make you inventive

For obvious reasons, fashion was radically changed in the forties. There was no material available for dazzling and elaborate dresses, so women had to become inventive and usually made their own dresses. New things were made from the old and to save material, the clothes were especially figure-accentuated. What you could see at that time were red lips. An accessory that should be bursting with sadness.

1950s – Rockabilly is alive

The society of the fifties finally came a bit closer to that of the twenties. There was again reason for joy, reason to enjoy life and to devote oneself to fashion again. Christian Dior laid the foundations for the typical rockabilly of the fifties as early as the late forties, when he placed wide-cut skirts with large petticoats in the shop windows, plus tight blouses that created the “new look”. A new style was also the order of the day for men. The suit gave way to casual jeans in the younger generations. White T-shirts and leather jackets formed the image of the men on the streets – James Dean and Elvis Presley say hello!

1960s – The Swinging Sixties

The sixties, also known as the Swinging Sixties, were marked by protest movements. Instead of bowing to old standards, people began to inform themselves and to stand up for their own cause. The rather romantic fashion of the fifties was disposed of without further ado; instead, they took to the streets in dresses with an A-line and miniskirts. Jackie Kennedy was the fashion icon at that time with her unconventional and rather simple look. For men, jeans and leather jackets continued to be the trendy outfit par excellence.
1970s – flower power of the hippies

Hardly any other fashionable era is as notorious as that of the 1970s, when the hippie movement conquered society. Striking colours, patterns and accessories reflect the feeling of freedom and individualism of that time. Men and women crammed into tight tops and tight jeans at this time, but extremely worn out at the bottom. Hair was now worn long by men and women, the upper lips of men were covered with beards, clothing was tailored and dyed in a colourful batik look, and flowers adorned hair and outfits alike.

1980s – The age of fashion sins

In the eighties one can say, stylistically it went quite downhill. Flat skirts and fine crocheted jackets gave way to shoulder pads, carrot pants, puff sleeves, perms and neon-colored XL sweaters with leggings – combination at will allowed. It was the time when the most diverse musical styles were celebrated, whether rock or hip hop. With her song “Material Girl” Madonna is probably the soundtrack of the eighties. The economy was on the upswing again, so we went to the department stores in search of the flashiest leggings and the bluest eye shadow.

1990er – A mix of styles

In the nineties, the world is changing, the Wall is gone, the world is reorganizing itself, travelling is becoming easier. There is a mix of styles that has been influenced by music and American influences. With Kurt Cobain, the grunge style with torn jeans and colorful dyed hair cannot be overlooked, Britney Spears gives with her school uniform look a new standard for the young female generation. There was not really a uniform look in the nineties, one simply dressed according to one’s own example. But there was a lot to see: huge sweaters and jewellery, jewellery, jewellery – at that time the motto was: More is more!

Today – Everyone does what they want

What does it look like today? People today enjoy their freedom, and that applies to both life and fashion. Individuality is the order of the day, trends come and go faster than you can see, from one trendy summer look to the next lie miles, who wants to wear the same outfit from last summer? In addition, male and female fashion are converging more and more. Skinny jeans are now also available for men, shirts for women, androgynous look. Life and fashion have become fast-moving, in constant motion. It’s no wonder that some of the fashion styles of the last century like to repeat themselves, after all retro and vintage looks could hardly be more trendy.

People’s fashion has always reflected social circumstances. The clothing style was chosen according to the current mood of the people. While in the decades between the Golden Twenties and the shrill Eighties there was always a very clear style of clothing, this has been broken up since the nineties, so that there are now many different styles of clothing. Our fashion is as individual as we are. What’s your favorite fashion epoch?

The constant change of fashion

This video from Glam.com pretty much sums up how the different looks of the last 100 years have changed, from the 1920s flapper dress, to the colorful hippie outfits of the 1970s, to the boyfriend jeans of 2015. Fashion is in a constant state of change that affects every area of life. Whether on the street, at work, in sports or going out – people’s outfits have gone through immense changes over the years.

If you take a look at the working world of yesteryear, you will find nothing in the offices but suits, hats and fine shoes. Today, things look quite different. What started with Casual Friday has now been introduced by all employers on every day of the week. Even in sport, fashion was changing. Do you remember how short footballers’ shorts were in the 80s? Those who are still stuck in the same trend of the past – but who knows how long – are the snooker players who still have to show up in their suits. The professional poker players are in a completely different league in terms of fashion, as they have all the freedom in the choice of clothing. From the suit, to the cowboy hat up to the football jersey there was to see at the Pokertisch already so quite everything.

Even here you can see how the fashion trend over the years has been towards casual, less austere and chic, but comfortable and practical has become the motto. However, until it came to today’s look of the people, the fashion went through many a social change. We have taken a closer look at the last 100 years.

1920s – The Golden Twenties

Almost 100 years have passed since then, the golden twenties, the Roaring Twenties. It is not without reason that they were so called, since they were characterized by a newfound joie de vivre, which was really celebrated during this time. Gold and glitter, sequins and feather boas, flapper dresses, headbands and, for the men, dandy suits, suspenders and felt hats were the hallmarks of contemporary fashion. The waist of the woman was hidden under short, straight flapper dresses, the hair was cut off. The androgynous look reached its peak here, after all, at this time the woman also acquired a completely new position in society – she even smoked now, but only with a cigarette holder, of course.

Costumes and blouses with large sleeves shaped the street scene. The style icon of this time was without doubt Marlene Dietrich, who also made the long wide trousers presentable at this time, which later became the cult Marlene trousers. Also hats were missing neither with woman nor with man. The latter kept their style of the twenties as far as possible with suits and suspenders.

1940 – Circumstances make inventive

For obvious reasons, fashion was radically changed in the forties. There was no material available for dazzling and elaborate dresses, so women had to become inventive and usually made their own clothes. New clothes were made from the old, and to save on material, the clothes were especially figure-hugging. What was particularly noticeable at that time were red lips. An accessory that was supposed to defy the dreary environment.

1950s – Rockabilly lives

The society of the fifties finally came a little closer to that of the twenties. There was reason for joy again, reason to enjoy life and to devote oneself again to fashion. Christian Dior already laid the foundations for the typical rockabilly of the fifties at the end of the 1940s, when he put wide cut skirts with large petticoats in the shop windows, along with tight blouses that created the “New Look”. A new style was also on the agenda for men. The suit gave way to casual jeans in the younger generations. In addition, white T-shirts and leather jackets shaped the image of the men on the streets – James Dean and Elvis Presley send their regards!

1960s – The Swinging Sixties

The sixties, also called the Swinging Sixties, were characterized by protest movements. Instead of bowing to old norms, people began to inform themselves and stand up for their own cause. The rather romantic fashion of the fifties was unceremoniously discarded; instead, people took to the streets in A-line dresses and miniskirts. Jackie Kennedy was the fashion icon par excellence at that time with her unconventional and rather plain look. For men, jeans and leather jackets continued to be the trend outfit par excellence.

1970s – Flower power of the hippies

Hardly any other fashion era is as famously infamous as that of the seventies, when the hippie movement conquered society. Striking colours, patterns and accessories reflect the feeling of freedom and individualism of that time. Men and women at that time squeezed themselves into tight tops and tight jeans, but extremely lined at the bottom. Hair was now worn long by both men and women, men’s upper lips were covered with beards, clothes were self-cut and dyed in a colourful batik look and flowers decorated hair and outfits alike.

1980s – The age of fashion sins

In the eighties one can say that stylistically things went downhill quite a bit. Flatter skirts and fine crocheted jackets gave way to shoulder pads, carrot pants, puffed sleeves, perms and neon-coloured XL pullovers with leggings – combination at will allowed. It was the time when all kinds of music styles were celebrated, whether rock or hip hop. Madonna is with her song “Material Girl” probably the soundtrack of the eighties. The economy was booming again, so we went to the department stores in search of the brightest leggings and the bluest eye shadow.

In the nineties, the world is changing, the wall is gone, the world is in the process of reorganising itself, travelling is becoming easier. There is a mix of styles, mainly influenced by music and American influences. With Kurt Cobain, the grunge style with torn jeans and colorfully dyed hair cannot be overlooked, Britney Spears is setting a new standard for the young female generation with her school uniform look. A uniform look did not really exist in the nineties, people simply dressed according to their own role model. However, there was a lot to see: huge sweaters and jewelry, jewelry, jewelry – at that time the motto was: More is more!
