Fashion in the 1950s and 1960s was diverse; there were fresh silhouettes and light colors. Advances in clothing, makeup, and cosmetics lead the way for fantastic new beauty looks. Fashion magazines like Bazaar, Charm, and Vogue increased product advertising, bringing designer fashions into every home. The full, billowy skirt with half sleeves, V neck, and natural waistline was quite popular in the 50s and 60s. Pencil skirts were introduced in 1954 by Christian Dior, and they quickly became trendy, particularly for office wear. The early 1960s gave popularity to drainpipe jeans and capri pants, which Audrey Hepburn wore.
