Day Dresses 1960


The first half of the Sixties like Fifties. Conservative, elegant, precise. No short skirts. Gloves for events and social nights. Skirts and girdles.

Dresses on the left and below with their swing, pleated skirt or pencil can be easily have been used in the 1950s. Women wear dresses or skirts for all but the most relaxing activities. Pants had to exercise or play and never worn to school.




























The Shirtwaist dresses will last a whole decade. Skirts will get a slightly shorter and slightly wider collar, but the dress will remain a staple of the average American woman.


































The silk dress  from its A-line style to the bright color and topped by a pillbox hat is pure Jackie Kennedy. fiftiesweb
