Wearing fur is now a no-no, but up until recent years, women in furs were the epitome of elegance. I am always dazzled by how beautiful women looked in the ads of the 1950s bundled up in their gorgeous fur coats. Let's face it--furs were a MAJOR fashion accessory of the women in upmarket magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. These are some of my favorites:

Things have really changed haven't they. I haven't seen anyone wearing fur in a long time. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI know a couple of women who still wear fur and I see furs all the time when I go antiquing, but they just freak me out. I'm kind of relieved they're not popular anymore!
ReplyDeleteI love how they dressed in the 50's, so elegant and stylish:)
ReplyDeleteWomen just dressed more elegantly back then and furs certainly added to the elegance. I'm really glad it's not trendy now!
