With a little bit of creativity, you can easily create a stylish and sexy pinup look that will make you stand out from the crowd. So go ahead and give it a try!
We've put together this list of the top items you need in your wardrobe this spring and summer for a truly pin-up-girl-inspired outfit to get you ready for those tiki pool parties and classic car shows!
Wiggle Dresses
Wiggle dresses give off a classic pin-up vibe and are a lot of fun to wear. The silhouette is slimming and accentuates your natural curves. Every size can wear a wiggle dress with a ruched waist. When it comes to parties or pin-up fashion photography, bright colors are constantly in style, while a sleek black dress is always a safe bet.
High Waist Shorts
If one thing is certain, the 1950s celebrated the waist. If you're looking for a stylish and fun way to show off your curves, high waist shorts are the perfect choice for summer
Circle Skirts
Circle skirts and swing skirts are a staple for any 50s-loving fashionista. As the name suggests, the style is designed by cutting a large circle shape into some fabric, with the inner circle making up the waist and the outer hem. For an added bonus, pop a petticoat underneath to really give the skirt volume and bounce.
Halter Style Swing Dresses
No pin-up wardrobe is complete without a halter dress in a fun print! From fruit (lemons, cherries) to Hawaiian themes or floral prints.
Pin-Up Fashion Accessories
Back Seam Thigh Highs
Pin-up is all about curves and legs, so you'll want to make your legs look as long as you can. Thigh-highs with a seam running up the back, also known as rear seam stockings are a must with any vintage outfit. The ‘Lois’, one of Kix’ies rear seam styles in black, or the ‘Vanessa’ in nude with rear seam is a hit for any pinup look.
Peep-toe High-heeled Shoes
Peep-toe heels are a must-have to complete your outfit from head to toe. Because dancing was so popular during the era, many pin-up style shoes are surprisingly comfy. A pair of foxtrot-ready shoes was a must, of course.
T-Strap Shoes
Dance the night away with t-strap pump-heeled shoes. The T-strap design was made with straps over the top to provide a secure fit for dancing.
