G'day
So I'm supposed to dress up "50's" to a Xmas function/dinner at a place I been contracting at... but I cant find any decent photos of mens fashion in that era?
Any help? hints? I dont wanna be the guy that does the half-assed-effort and looking more like the 70's or sum'
help! =) thanks!

check out Mad Men, buy some Brill Cream or Pomade for your hair, get a skinny tie, pack of lucky strikes in your chest pocket, etc....

"Men wore hats in the Fifties. Not sometimes. All the time. There was some variation as to style, but no man was dressed unless a hat adorned his head."
