This style appeared in the 50s of the last century in the Soviet Union during the difficult post-war years for the state, when the population had to work tirelessly to restore the country, to heal the wounds inflicted by the war. The policy of the state, moreover, at that time was aimed at equalizing all citizens. To look like everyone else, not to stand out, to be modest - these are the main theses of this policy, which were almost unanimously approved by the population, who experienced a terrible tragedy in their history. Therefore, everything was gray then - people's clothes and their interior.
Fashion as a youth protest
Boys and girls wanted colors and something new. As a reflection of their desire for brightness and a protest against the accepted stereotypes of behavior, a youth subculture of dudes appeared. The word "dandy" in the Soviet media was used with a touch of condemnation. People who supported this new fashion were criticized, and their behavior was discussed at Komsomol meetings. But the term for the representatives of this movementI liked it because it comes from the word "stylish", which means "fashionable".

The representatives of the so-called "golden youth", who had information about foreign fashion and music, were the first to join this subculture. Boys and girls, eagerly absorbing everything new, tried on the style of dudes. The guys wore tight trousers and broad-shouldered jackets, and a herring tie was an obligatory attribute of the outfit. Girls, on the other hand, dressed in wide skirts with petticoats, trouser suits, tight-fitting blouses and girded the waist with a bow belt. A fashionable hairstyle for guys was considered a cook, Elvis Presley's hairstyle, and for girls - high hairstyles babette and shell.
