  Fifties Accessories |

GLOVES A lady wore gloves in the Fifties. She was not seen as properly dressed without them. They came in many lengths and all colors. Short white gloves were most commonly worn and women always had several pairs. Why? Because they were the very devil to keep clean! |
 |
SCARVES Much can be done with a scarf. Drape it as a belt; wrap it as a halter top; tie it about your head, babushka style. Scarves were used all these ways in the Fifties. Most popularly, a short, brightly colored chiffon scarf secured many a ponytail! |

SWIM CAPS No discussion of the Fifties Fashions would be complete without a look at the wild bathing caps of the day. The louder the cap, the better. Let it never be said the Fifties were dull! |
