Red is in vogue today. Then, for many girls, the pin-up style will seem interesting. Pin-up is a style from the middle of the 20th century. Although no ... This style began to emerge much earlier - in the 30s - 40s. Yes, exactly in the years The great depression.

When everything collapses, there are always those who make attempts in any way to improve their failing enterprises. So it was during the years of the stock market crisis. Publishers went bankrupt. What to do? How to increase magazine sales. Life magazine has placed beautiful dolls on its covers. Since then, a saying has appeared among the people: "The worse the magazine is doing, the more beautiful the girl on its cover."



The cuties were with huge eyes, plump bright red lips, lush hips and luxurious breasts. The skirts of the girls flew up from the breeze, and the summer rain made the tight-fitting blouse more than transparent. They did not show their seductive charms, but eroticism and accessibility emanated from their images ...

The magazine quickly sold out, and cheerful beauties with luxurious forms looked from the covers on the walls of apartments, every cabin, barracks, garages ...



Pin-up carried a storyline. As a rule, some kind of everyday scene was depicted in which the girl was dressed somewhat frivolously - she could be wearing a swimsuit or a short skirt, or underwear. What was then considered frivolous and overly frank, today no longer surprises anyone.



Glamor art and pretty girl are essentially the same as pin-up, but these terms have been used when referring to artists and photographers. Images of girls on the cover were published by such popular magazines as The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan. Even Time magazine on its cover allowed itself to publish in 1941 a picture of Rita Hayworth.

Born during the Great Depression, the pin-up style survived until the 60s. This style is the embodiment of eroticism and naivety at the same time.

And, of course, the presence of red in it was necessary. Red is a perky and passionate color, hot and glamorous, it adorned any item of clothing and accessories: dress, blouses, shorts, swimwear, scarves, shoes and handbags. And besides everything, the outfits had bows, tassels, colored necklaces, and not only ordinary jewelrybut also expensive jewelry.




1. If you put on a scarlet bodycon dress with bare shoulders or back, high stiletto heels, expensive jewelry, add gloves to the elbow, slightly different in color, and casually throw on a fur scarf made of silver fox, it will be glamorous. Do not forget that the pin-up style will not be considered complete if you do not add hairstyles from large curls and makeup - thin eyebrows, long, curled eyelashes, a lot of mascara, bright red lipstick and the same marigolds.

2. A red long-sleeved suit or a dress that can have a deep V-neck - the whole outfit should emphasize all the curves of the figure. Silver sandals (red goes well with silver), a rose quartz necklace, short gloves will complete the look. The make-up should emphasize the well-groomed and perfection of the girl, and the appearance should glow with cheerfulness and well-being.



3. You can create an image of a flirty and carefree young girl by wearing a loose blouse and red shorts, in which a beautiful belt emphasizes the waist. On the feet - sandals, on the head tie a scarf in the form of a ribbon, and choose a handbag with unpretentious decorations, there must certainly be a bright lipstick. The image is young, attractive, carefree, in which secret eroticism manifests itself only as a hint.
