It just amazes me how bigger we have become and unhealthy.What did they do that kept them fit?.What has changed?.What is your opinion.
Answer
Speaking as one who was a 10 year old in 1956 I would say that
the lack of junk food was one of the main reasons for giving the
impression that we were healthier in the 1950's particularly in
the UK.
There was only one take away outlet in those days, the fish and
chip shop, potato crisps came in one flavour ( plain) with it's little
bag of salt. Wartime rationing over ran into the 1950's with sweets
and chocolate less available, no comfort eating.
Lower wages, fewer cars, people walking to and from work, school,
etc., and limited types of food produce available in shops. Mothers,
shopped on a daily basis, no frozen foods, most meals were home-
cooked on the day.
Cooking was often fried in lard or dripping, but people worked harder
or did physical work which kept most people lean and trim. Plus in
the 1950's post war years, we manufactured much more than we do
now. Britain is a service industry nation these days, with many more
sedentary jobs requiring people to sit at a desk all day. The whole
western world seems to be one of less physical activity, but I doubt
that we were truly "healthier", we just had less options with which to
become obese.

Answer
Summer-y:
bright colored (Neon and color blocking)
tribal print
neon tank
floral top
Lace/crochet tops and dresses
nautical shirts
crop tops for sure!!!
Flowy cardigans or lacey/ see through
flowy blouses,
Bodycon Skirts- Good with loose top
White or Khaki capris
White jeans
In detail:
sun dresses<-- Adorable to wear with a cardigan, statement jewelry, and sandals!
Lace/crochet tops, nautical tops (stripes, navy & white) These 2 are my favorite summer trends! Looks good with a statement piece (Long necklaces with a giant gemstone/pendant/design, owls, Feathers! Feather earrings! Gold studded bracelets! Multiple friendship bracelets<- Nordstrom has a lot)
Popular= crop tops/ Dolman tops! Pretty much anything flowy!
Cardigans (one flowy or lacey and another short sleeved sleeved one) You can get them at Forever 21, Macy's, etc. For plain ones you can get them at Nordstrom too!
Shoes:
Sandals: Gold- Steve madden! And now those tan,leather ones with many straps!
Flip-Flops: Striped, colorful, metallic- Havaianas Also try them with a bow/flower in the middle
TOMS- eco, and helps children in LDC's
Sperry- Cute!
Get shoes at:
A.M. Eagle
Urban outfitters
Dillardâs, Nordstrom, macyâs
Stop at Retail stores like Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, or dillard's. I'm pretty sure Nordstrom has TOMS and all of them have havaianas, Steve Madden, and Sperry's and cute clothes!
Stop at stores that buy extra inventory from department stores like T.J. Maxx or Marshalls which also have designer names (Juicy, Guess, Steve Madden, Coach)
Common- Abercrombie, A&F, A.M. Eagle, VS PINK
For trendy stores try Forever21. and other favorite trendy stores of mine are:
Urban outfitters!!
Anthropologie!!!
Free People!!
Zara/ H&M/ Bebe
Vs Pink (This might be common)
Fall:
Haha! the Fall runways shows came out a few days ago but here is just the general gist of it:
70s fashion
Like the '50s and '60s coming back, so are the '70s! There are two main aesthetics: '70s bohemian, and '70s sophisticated glamour. This includes dresses that fall like shimmering water in the evening and high-waist pants with elegant blouses by day! High waisted wide-leg pants or flares, smartly belted in.Neat bow-blouses, especially ones with billowing or bishop sleeves. Particularly great are fabrics like silk and satin.Roll neck sweaters tucked into pants or skirts. Also layering over beaded necklaces or a vest!
Pleats- Popular in spring and also for fall! However, then pleats will be worn paired socks or tights and heels, and some cosy layers on top. A rock-chic pair of boots, mixed styles for contrasts (like flowly pleated skirts with a bohemian fur or a tough biker jacket), etc....
Fur Clothing- as always...
Bell Bottoms- aka Flare jeans
Wide Leg Pants
Accessories:
Leather-ware harness
Choker necklaces
Cuff bracelets!
Studs
Colors: This year fall is slightly different! Bright colors are also going to be trendy with fall!
Black
Olive
Bronze shades?
Midnight blue, silver, and gray shades
Forest green and plum
Oh! and I think that the popular tribal print will be slightly reinvented as a trend for Autumn too!
Uhh Feather, Tribal, Army green will be popular in both seasons!
Dress nonchalantly. Don't overdo it or under do it by wearing sweats. I think the 2nd and 3rd days are the days you should wear you cute new stuff :D. Be different!
Oh! I was going to add... you should also buy cute jackets like white jean jacket, cropped jean jacket, etc over dresses (very cute) or tanks that don't meet dresscode and Miss me jeans, uggs, Juicy couture, Pink hoodies, Coach bags are also popular
