The men's styles have barely changed, apart from removal of the hat and pipe.
The third picture reminded me of standing behind an elderly lady in a queue who was wearing a fox stole round her neck. My mum may have had one once but I'd forgotten it still had the fox head and feet attached. A brave look for some-one of a more modern generation.
Photos of the 40s weekend please...
So true, both men and women were for the most part so lovely and slim!
They had high-fat diets back then. Bread and dripping for breakfast.
We are also consuming food that is genetically tampered with, I try to stay way from all that.
Look at their little booties!
I was alive back then & have never once had bread & dripping for breakfast, or any other meal come to that & I doubt many at Woodstock or Hyde Park did either.
My Mum and Dad's generation did.
And 20 Woodbine.
I don't think my Dad ever smoked that many daily. I think 'Capstan' was his favourite cigarette brand.
And a bottle of Courvoisier (if you're Keith Moon).
I've got my grandma's. It looks spectacular when she's wearing it in photos in the 1930s (she was a bit of a style icon, always immaculately dressed). But he looks comical, now.
And did your Mum or Dad attend either Woodstock or Hyde Park gigs?
No. They were too old for all that.
Although picture one was presumably for beach or swimming pool, whereas now it would be considered rather restrained for a visit to the supermarket. Is that Josephine Baker in the last picture?
Yes, it is. I wanted to include everybody.
It's a swimming outfit.
