Menswear 1950s

Throughout the war years Menswear hadn't really changed. But after the war however it was suddenly fashionable for men to become fashionable. Men started to look more like 'businessmen' wearing bowler hats, pinstripe trousers, and longline single breasted coats.
The youth of the 50s created a new style inspired by the "Dandies". This new look was aggressive and was called the 'Teddy boy' look.

Hairstyles

A new hairstyle was in fashion. This was called the DA (Duck's Arse) because at the back of the head  it was shaped like a ducks back end. One of the most famous people to have a DA was Elvis Presley.
Teenagers began to follow 'Fashion culture', and this was when the Jukebox culture arrived.
