In the 1950s people were richer and teenagers spent a lot of money on clothes. For men this was the age of a teddy boy. Teddy boys wore long jackets in very bright colours - pink, orange and yellow - and very tight trousers called 'drainpipes'. For women jumpers and blouses with wide skirts and short socks were the fashion. Both men and women wore 'winklepicker' shoes with long pointed toes. The women's shoes had high stiletto heels.
