It can be easily noticed how 50s style restores its bygone popularity. Down with masculine costumes and aggressive details, its girls' time! Let's celebrate femininity and gracefulness and get inspired by the classic style icons of the past, such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, who knew better than anyone else how to present their femininity in the best possible way.

What I personally love about 50s dresses is that they are not too open, not vulgar, yet they can never be called boring or unattractive. They're also very elegant and smart... In addition, 50s dresses can flatter almost any type of figure - their full skirts can add some curves to boyish figures, as well as hide massive thighs and accentuate waist of the pear shaped or hourglass body types. Not to mention how fashionable these clothes are right now, which is evident on various fashion shows and in celebrity outfits. Sounds like a perfect type of dress, doesn't it? Luckily, there are plenty of such dresses on the high street this summer, you just need to find the right model and colour for yourself.
