Right now, costumes are on everyone's mind. We've got the cast bringing items that they might be able to wear in the show and our costume team taking measures and pulling pieces. And, of course, everyone is thinking about their Halloween costume for the 31st! While Anne Frank might not be the most popular Halloween costume around, there's certainly some 40s style fashion that you can integrate into your wardrobe! (Gentlemen, forgive me - but the 40s fashion for you boils down to suits, dress shirts, and cardigans. It's much easier to find things for women to wear.) Of course, the easiest way to get across a 40s look is with a dress. Make it A-line and make it knee length, and you're in business! White blouses are a staple of this time period, and they featured many different collar styles. If you're going to wear a shirt, you're going to need some bottoms! A knee length A-line skirt is classic, but if you're feeling daring you can go for a pair of wide legged pants. To top it all off, you should use a blazer, bolero, or cardigan. Whatever suits your fancy! Shoes are always a fun place! Teenagers grew to love saddle shoes - and you can get a similar effect from Oxfords - but adults kept wearing their pumps. You'll notice there are no hats on this list - that's because most hats are fair game in the 40s! Wear whatever fits with your outfit, or don't wear one at all - ribbons and bows were popular too.
To make your look complete, make your hair appropriately waved and rolled and put on some red lipstick. All the information is on this page! And that's all for today. Thanks for reading!
