Fashion Today.

Donna Karan swears that "today, fashion is really about sensuality - how a woman feels on the inside. In the '80s women used suits with exaggerated shoulders and waists to make a strong impression. Women are now more comfortable with themselves and their bodies - they no longer feel the need to hide behind their clothes.”

Male's Hairstyle

Men's Hair Styles In the 1950s

Men's hairstyles were eclectic in the 1950’s, often inspired by movie stars like James Dean, Troy Donahue, and Elvis Presley. Although, the 1950’s are considered a very conservative time, many men’s hairstyles were anything but that. Here is a brief survey of men’s hairstyles in the 1950’s.

Apache, was a hairstyle for men in the 1950’s that did not last long. The hair was cut close cropped on the sides, while the center was a shaved strip. The Apache is sometimes referred to as the reversed Mohawk.

The Flat top crewcut, another hairstyle for men in the 1950’s, resembles the Apache hair style a great deal. Yet, it is more in keeping with people’s perception of that era. If looking at photographs of men in the 1950's with a flat top crewcut one immediately thinks of Arm Services posters.

The Ducktail, also called the DA, or duck’s ass, was popular for young men in the 1950’s. The photograph’s of Elvis Presley, one often sees of him in his prime, with the sides of his hair slick back and the top cut in long, jagged edges is the quintessential Ducktail hair cut.

The term Ducktail comes from the fact that the sides, once cut, are brushed back behind the head then flipped like a duck’s tail.

Pompadour, another interesting hairstyle for men in the 1950’s. The hair is mounted high in the front, swept up high over the forehead, while the sides of the hair is flatten out.

Sideburns, which also was made famous by James Dean and Elvis Presley was another interesting thing that happened with men hairstyles in the 1950’s. Usually, sideburns were cut an inch from the ear.

1960s long hair were popular for the males.

it happened in the 60s/70s – in Singapore . Long hair males were frowned upon in the past.

You may laugh it off now, but in the past it’s no fun at all. Male artistes with long hair were not allowed to appear on TV too; male with long hair will also be stopped at Woodlands immigration checkpoint and turned away until they had their hair cut.

Medium wavy hairstyle,

A casual medium wavy hairstyle can be described as free-flowing, soft, full, with lots of body, easy-going, and one that falls into place on its own. These hairstyles can vary from shoulder length graduated layers, to heavy one length looks, and even messy uniform layer cuts.

When waves are natural or even artificial (permed hair), casual medium wavy hairstyles are quick and easy to create because the waves and cut determine the shape of the hair. Some styling techniques you might also like to try are simple things like ruffling and scrunching for texture.

Waves have a soft and casual look about them due to their curved nature and appearance to the eye. The medium length of these hairstyles also enables you to tie your hair back if you need to get it out of the way.

FASHION 1960s

Fashion in the 1960s Singapore was mainly influenced by the hippie or ‘A go-go' period. This meant mini-skirts, bell-bottom jeans, flashy-coloured outfits, tie-dye, batik fabrics and loud prints.

In the early 60s, simple, geometric dresses, known as shifts, were in style. For evening wear, full-skirted ball gowns were worn. These often had a low décolletage and had close-fitting waists. For casual wear, capri trousers were the fashion for women and girls. Short dresses were also very trendy in the 60s. Stiletto-heeled shoes were popular.

In the mid-60s, the mini-skirt was introduced. With that, the mini dress came into style as well – it usually came in an A-line shape or sleeveless shift. Hemlines kept rising until by 1968, they had reached well- above mid-thigh. These were known as micro-minis . This was when the "angel dress" made its appearance on the fashion scene. A micro-mini with flared skirt, and long, wide sleeves, it was usually worn with boots, patterned tights, and was often made of lace, velvet or sometimes cotton.

However, the not-so-trendy Singaporean folks wore a simple two-piece flowery printed cheongsam top and matching cotton pants. They usually paired this outfit with a pair of slippers or clogs.

By the late 60s, the androgynous hippie look was in style. Both sexes wore frayed bell-bottomed jeans, tie-dyed shirts, work shirts, and headbands. Wearing sandals or going barefoot was also part of the hippie scene.

Fringed buck-skin vests, flowing caftans, colourful gypsy-style skirts, scarves, and bangles were also worn by teenage girls and young women. Indian prints, batik and paisley were the fabrics preferred. For more conservative women, there were the lounging pyjamas. These consisted of a loose fitting top over wide-legged, pleated trousers, and were usually made of polyester or chiffon.
