There have been many tv shows and movies made about the fifties. How about Happy
Days, Laverne And Shirley, and Joanie Loves Chachi or Grease, Rebel Without A Cause or American Graffiti? Some of the actors
of the fifties were Desi Arnaz, Pat Boone, Desi Arnaz, Elvis Presley and Yul Brynner; television personalities Jack Paar,
Dave Garroway, Gary Moore, and Johnny Carson.
Then of course
you have “Rock n Roll” the 1950’s were at the heart of its beginning. There was a show called American Bandstand
where teenagers learned how to do dance steps like the Twist, the Hand Jive, the Stroll, the mambo jambo, the rhumba, the
La Bamba, the Boogie and those other wild dances just to name a few. You had Musicians Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly,
Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and we can’t forget “The King” Elvis Presley.
The fifties
look wouldn't be complete without Buddy Holly. Although he died only after a few years of playing Rock n Roll, his
innovations place him as one to emulate in his trademark glasses and classic coat.
How about the classic "Greaser Jacket". The look of the fifties later made famous by “The Fonz” on Happy Days. This would make a 50’s costume
complete if you want that greaser look.
