What is the Pin Up style? But first, what is a Pin Up?
Originally, the word comes from the posters that we hung on the walls.
These posters often depicted women in work clothes but also in underwear.
Pin-up became widespread in the 40s and 50s, thanks in particular to a painter and his daughters, Varga (in reference to the painter's name), but also and above all thanks to models and actresses.
The most famous model of the era was Betty Page. Her brunette hair, curls and bangs, and especially her way of asserting herself and highlighting her curves, made her the perfect embodiment of this style, to the point that today it's not uncommon to find pin-up dresses in her honor.
Wasp waist highlighted by a belt or even a corset, more developed hips with the addition of petticoats, neckline and impeccable knee length.
The Pin-Up dress is perfect for any occasion. Those who embrace their figure might prefer the pencil dress. Here too, don't forget to accentuate the waist and show off a low neckline. It can be slitted for easier walking.
For underwear, it was not uncommon to adopt a girdle and the appropriate stockings. As for makeup, red lipstick is essential, as are long, curled black eyelashes and a line of eyeliner in the same shade, of course.
For those who are hesitant to adopt this style for the day or for life, the multitude of choices of cardigans, high-waisted pants, pumps and accessories will give you other examples of outfits.
Another source of inspiration, and not the least, is the current ambassador of this look, Dita Von Teese, who will surely seduce you with her class, glamour and allure.
