The pin-up style that arose in the 20s of the last century remains in demand among modern fashionistas. Invented to raise the morale of American soldiers, it does not leave men indifferent today. Of course, who can pass by a charming sexual beauty with mouth-watering forms, whose playful outfit strives to fall to the floor? The images of coquette were the most diverse: housewives, sailors, glamorous ladies with small dogs.
A typical storyline of pin-up girls is everyday life scenes in which the photographer or artist takes the heroines by surprise. The falling strap of the dress, the skirt picked up by the breeze, stockings on the garters, while the beauties themselves flirt with the spectator with their eyes and smile invitingly.
Many Hollywood stars used the pin-up style: Betty Grabble, Marilyn Monroe,
Lana Turner, Carol Landis, Veronica Gardner. Their photos were full of advertisements and magazine covers. One of the brightest representatives of our time is Dita von Tees. In addition, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Scarlett Johansson and others seek to imitate the first sex symbols of America.
If your heart is touched by a pin-up - a legend-style, then there are several rules on how to transform into a retro beauty. Let's start with the face: a clear but smooth eyebrow line, black broad arrows, peach-pink blush and sensual red lips. Nails on the hands and feet should also be varnished in bright colors.
Medium-length hair must be laid in waves, as
Rita Hayworth did in her time
. Owners of short and very long hair can make voluminous curls. And then pick them up with a ribbon or bandana, depending on your outfit.
The piquancy of the female images of those years was given by dresses, which, with all their openness, left room for male fantasies. Of course, every fashionista sought to give her figure an hourglass silhouette . The length of the skirt can be any: from mini to maxi. High waisted shorts are not forbidden.
Things in the wardrobe of a girl who prefers a pin-up style are quite diverse. These are pencil skirts, drawstring shirts, and sheath dresses. Often used military elements: metal buttons, stripes, shoulder straps. Among the trousers, choose styles that emphasize the hips: narrowed or with patch pockets. On a cold day, a cardigan, cropped jacket or bolero is perfect.
Give preference to monophonic fabrics of rich colors. The following prints will be appropriate: peas, fruits, hearts, flowers, Vichy cage and leopard. Remember the deep neckline, which can be combined with an American armhole or straps.
Pinup pays much attention to accessories and shoes. High -heeled shoes with stiletto heels can emphasize long legs . However, the platform, low heel and ballet shoes also deserve to be. Be sure to focus on the waist with a belt. Silk gloves, large sunglasses, berets or hats with wide brim, as well as clutch bags and jewelry with precious stones will help to complement the look.
