- This is one of my favorite clips from my 1950s 1960s collection used to create my television series, Making Sense Of The Sixties. Hicksville high school, Long Island, right near where I grew up in Levittown Long Island. I wore some of the "not proper school attire" and later became a rebel, as most of my friends did. I wish I had more of this film to present to my subscribers.
Narrator would have a heart attack in a modern public school
😂😂😂
Its so much worse now
Lmao she’s probably rolling in her grave🥴
*uses a time machine solely to bring the narrator to a hs in the year 2024*
The narrator: *dies upon seeing the Cookie Monster pajama pants girl*
Or a Walmart.
the girl with the extremly tight skirt acting was 10/10.. walked up with swag, chomping her gum 😭 thats somebodies great grandma
Unless she didn’t have kids! Not every woman is a mother.
@@Starae336not every woman is feminist either. In the era of this video, there was no sexual revolution, as Civil rights was just beginning. True, there was more pronounced and obvious racism and sexism back then but families were closer, neighborhoods were real communities, public schools weren't as dangerous so you didnt need metal detectors or resource police, and there was significantly less crime. Were the 50s perfect? Hell no. Were we better off as a society then compared to now? It's debatable, but as a man of color, I'd say yes.
@@Starae336 🙄
Great grandma... or just grandma
She looks like she'd listen to Glorilla. All confidence and sass.
1957’s bad taste, would be considered
wholesome, by today’s standards. 🤣
Despite what Hollywood would have you believe short shorts were quite popular in the 1950s. Plus it's still against School dress code to wear a tight skirt 🤷♀️
@@aveganeverywhere girls wore extremely tight jeans in my school, and I graduated a while ago
@@blackearl7891 of course they do. Imagine being the perverted teacher who admitted to acknowledging that a student's pants for type 🤢. Two of my friends are teachers and they ignore dress code violations unless it's something like an offensive phrase on a shirt.
@@aveganeverywhereI would too. It’s ridiculous.
Frumpy, even!
Oh no, not the infamous ankle bracelet!
Oh the horror !😳💀😳
We need a dress code again so people stop goong into public in pj's.
@@bott3849 It’s OK to have a day for the pajamas! The so-called leggings are much much worse!!
But the dungarees! Society is doomed!
Mom couldn't wear fishnet stockings
😂😂😂
These rebellious "bad taste" teenagers would be considered preppie today. 😂
Honestly today they would be doing exactly what they're already doing: dressing like my grandparents
Honestly, it was probably too extreme back then but too lenient today.
That's the goal , keep making degeneracy worse so the level before seems alright and normal. That's why sin is so normalized and seen as good today.
Anklet bracelet? Yeah, we still got them right? That's how cops know your not out trying to diddle little kiddies or robbing a 7/11, right?
it would even be considered preppy as soon as the late 60s
My grandpa was a proud greaser who wore his white tshirt, rolled up jeans, and black shiny shoes until the day he died, aged 82.
I’m stealing that style RIP yo the GOAT
Nice.
My great uncle still dresses this way.. his cigarettes are in his sleeve rolled up in his shirt.. he rolls in his scooter all over dressed like this.. he can walk in the house but long distance he rolls in his scooter 😂❤ my great aunt and him crack me up.. she still likes to dress like these ladies, at night she in her moo moo! They the kids in high school apparently with this lady talking ANGRY about how they dressed 😂😂 she has saddle shoes too 😂 my aunt had us wearing them too.. mine was comfortable.. she made me wear them for church! 😂 I had white and black ones and a pair of blue and white ones. In late 90’s and 2000’s.. 😂❤ use to be annoying when your parents and aunts dress up, but now when I look back at the photos, photos are still horrible but my kids and nieces and nephews get good laughs out of them. They get darn right hysterical.. I have some photos they just bust a gut saying I look like I look like the Jonny Deep Willy wonky hair cut, and Billy Ray Cyrus girl version mullet.. I did not get to pick my own hairstyle till I was 17 🤨 it was horrible! I to this day wear my hair long all one length and let it go mad CURLY. My husband loves it.. it’s down to my butt.. no more Willy wonky or man mullet here! 🤨😂🤣 I hated it then and still gives me nightmares now! I had to curl the top and I hated it! My hair is down or in a pony tail now lol ewww 🤢 a mullet yall! Ugh hillbillies ugh
@@Ninjasnail1926 the side shave mullet is making a comeback and it makes me cringe!
Yay for grandpas!!! Mine was a badass too ❤❤❤
All of these kids would be praised as well dressed toady
We should all aspire to be well-dressed Toadies. 👍
This video is giving the movies, "Grease" & "The Outsiders". ❤
Well just "stay golden pony boy".
Ugh, I love both!
This explains the outrage over Elvis. He was the poster child for "bad taste" attire. Those proper girls were fainting like goats.😅

@@rosemarietolentino3218 Dude… People could say this same thing from decade to decade. Let alone from 70 years ago… To paraphrase Bob Dylan… “If you're stuck in your old ways, move out of the road or get ran tf over.”

The thing that I love most about 50s-70s infomercials is that it sounds both professionally made with also a hint of that podcast unpreparedness.
Yes, you're right! The repetetition of ideas and slight pauses. Like someone trying to remember their lines
These were “mental hygiene” films, low-budget, made by small production companies to be shown in classrooms to teach etiquette and “proper” behavior. They were modeled on WW2 training and propaganda films. There were thousands of these school films, on a variety of topics. Most of the actors were simply teenagers from neighborhoods near the filmmakers.
I may be digressing a bit, but it's called "radio voice" when they project their voice and try to sound flat.
Seems due to the technology of the time, if they didn't use a radio voice, it would sound muffled and difficult to understand.
just like every school video today lol
I remember the first time my teacher, Mrs, Wolters wore jeans to work in the 80's. I couldn't believe it. The boundary was broken and I knew everything was going to change.
Who would have thought that the land of the free was also so oppressive that wearing jeans to your job was a game changer.
Girl wearing the "extremely tight skirt" reminds me of Rizzo from Grease, lol.
Me too .
"...we're gonna rule the school..."
She's an archetype. For sure
Lol I was just thinking the same thing
I know! That was my first thought.
"Extremely tight skirt"
2024- "hold my beer"
I couldn't have said it better! 🤣🤣
Lol
No skirt, just "Tight" 😅
You mean hold my soy milk.
Cha cha cha 😂
“Dungarees” knocked me back to primary school
The usage of the term “primary school” knocked me back to elementary school. 😅😂 🤭 Obviously, I’m just being silly 🙃

I’ve got so many photos of my grandpa looking like one of the “bad” kids. He’s pushing 80 and still in a motorcycle gang lol
Good for him!

You're kidding! An 80 year old man in a motorcycle gang? Is he still capable of riding a cycle at his age?
@@michaelpalmieri7335 Pretty much! My mom had to convince him a couple years ago to get a 3-wheeler just in case, but otherwise he’s in amazing health
This evening I chaperoned the Junior/Senior prom for my school where I'm an Instructional Assistant(EC-AU). The kids wore more clothes during prom than they wear in school.
The complaints of 57 is more clothing than prom and school together.
You make zero sense.
@@sforza209 Makes plenty of sense, though the wording is off a little.
Those kids in 57 where the adults are complaining, is more clothing than the students I work with wore during prom and school day put together.
This would've been the equivalent of teenage punk rockers in the 80's. I love it ❤🤘🏼
Can you imagine her reaction after telling her that kids will one day wear pajamas to school! Lol 😸
Or underwear as outerwear?
Fr!!@@Lee-tt2yb
Or not even wearing shirts
@@HanaDubs Or identifying as animals and coming to school dressed up as dogs and other animals and chasing other kids around on the playground and biting them because they're "animals."
@renaldoawes2210 that's just normal thing kids do. Especially 4-7 year olds
The drop earrings are a gateway....😂🤣💯
I was like "drop earrings?"😂😂😂
We call them "The Chandelier"
Now I finally know why my mom always freaked out about me wearing "dangly earrings" in the 70s. She thought everyone should wear button-style clip-ons or studs, and always wailed that the earrings I liked would make me look "low class". 🙄
Gateway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@devilinav7494 it wouldn't surprise me if your mum was middle class, most people in that class do everything they can to be "superior" to others lol
I love the proper attires... Beautiful
I honestly like the improper attire more. It's not as outrageous as many things people wear today are.
Raise your hand if you’re in the 90’s-00’s “obsessively needs a shrug forever more due to trauma from the school system dress code that won’t let you wear a tank top ever or be demonized”
lol it’s been 15 years and I still have a whole rack of shrugs for every tank top

Girl in Tight Skirt being recognized for her swagger almost 70 years later. It would be cool if she was still alive and we found her.
Reminded me if the senior chick from Grease
She’s been mummified in her skirt like the ancients
@@strawberry-mochi1427Yeah, definitely a Rizzo “we are going to rule the school” vibe right there.
She looks like my mom at thst age!
She looks nice. All

Glad to see we made it so far. I went to public school in california until until I was 9(1999) and we had to wear uniforms. We were allowed watches, bracelets, etc but we absolutely had to wear navy slacks or slack shorts with a white polo. Girls were allowed a skirt. We were not allowed to wear the uniform weird or to have ecentric haircuts or a hat of any kind.
As John Waters once said in a documentary, "I lived through the 50's and the 50's were awful". I'm tired of hearing boomers wax poetic about an era made of a superficial existence of buying things to impress the neighbors when civil rights barely existed and women were beaten all the time in the house as everyone looked the other way.
I’m a boomer and I’m also sick of it. Each era has its challenges and its dark side, and the 50s/60s certainly did as well. There are many things that are better today.
So true.
Conservatives look to the 50's as the height of civilisation...it's not Boomers like me.
My Grandma was considered a rebel for wearing pants 👖. By the 60s, she and her Husband were riding motorcycles 🏍️.
Seems like an extremely prudish region. Where I live women were casually wearing pants since the 20s. My grandma did also ride a motorcycle with my grandpa since 1953, before they could afford a car. Most pictures I have of her are wearing tourist clothes, tight shirt and short pants only covering half of her thighs. Even her formal dress was with a skirt still showing knees. First half of the 50s.
@@neverstopschweiking
I’m curious, where was this?
My grandma, back in Southern Mexico, was wearing jeans, canvas sneakers and playing basketball in the late 40s and 50s.
I have a picture of her in her basketball uniform, she was a badass!
@@SheepMan420 Central Europe.
@@neverstopschweiking Well... eastern or western bloc? ;)
I'm in my 70s now and I remember most of these things, I was sent to the office, because my bra was too pointy LOL LOL
🧐😂😂
Haha 😄 What was up with those pointy bras anyway? I never understood the look.
@@katiekawaii Bullet Bras? They were meant to give your sillouette a particular shape. With the right style of clothing they could be really subtle, but in other type of clothes they could be really noticable, and there were girls who wore them deliberatly like that to be provocative. They were called Sweater Girls.
I was sent to the office because I was cought with a girp, who was showing me how to remove her bra.
Good thing was, that that day they cought two other girls making out, one having her hand in the pants of the other, thus our offence was not so shocking. We were lucky they disn't find the powder and the beer.
Can't leave kids enjoy school ... Well this was in 08. I hope kids have it better today.
😂
My grandfather was denied highschool graduation because he refused to cut his hair. He later fought in Vietnam, where I guess the army cut it for him.
A few months ago he was diagnosed with brain cancer after complaining he was experiencing memory problems. The only available treatment would cause further brain damage, which he and the doctors knew. They decided to do it anyway. Now he's barely there. Has a few lucid moments, but concentrating and communicating are hard for him.
We all get old if we live long enough. All we can do is remember those who came before and take care of those who'll come after.
Thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family are doing well.
This is why I’m glad my kid has a uniform at school. Kids all look similar and no one spends time comparing outfits. (Saves money too)
Uniforms prevent a lot of drama.
The funny thing is it's about the shoes and the jacket you wear. I wore uniforms and never thought about my jacket or shoes until the rich snotty girls started in on me 🤷 Kids are mean, but yeah, uniforms help a LOT
@@rubiesofgold7698 yea but not so fun for the students who love clothing
Bro y'all are tripping I speak from experience when I say it's obviously going to be a lot more expensive depending on how strict the code of policy is I was only ever able to go to a specific place to find uniforms and they were expensive as fuck so idk what y'all are going on about you act like uniforms are the solution to every single problem relating to diversity children should have the opportunity to express themselves the way they feel and I think by removing the ability for them to choose what they wear, we might as well be breeding depressed empty soulless robots
Why should we be forced to look nice at a place we're forced to be lol
She OWNED that "tight skirt and tight sweater"!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG - I haven't laughed so hard or loud in a long time - thank God I wasn't at work. I needed that laugh - thanks! She's JEALOUS!
Right? 💯
Looking just like Rizzo from Grease 😅
@@joveena.b7581 RIGHT!!! She was always my favorite character! She even resembles her! Stockard Channing💜!
@@Lilith_Nightshade my next doggo will be called Rizzo 😁
My grandma was born in ‘42 and told me about how she got sent to detention for wearing jeans TO school. She wasn’t wearing them DURING school, but due to her having to walk in the snow, she wore jeans under her skirt and then went to the bathroom to take them off. Sometimes she could get away with it, but there were times where she got in trouble simply for stepping on school property in denim pants.
My mom protested in NYC public schools and was the first public school class in America where woman could wear pants in the 60's.
My mother was born in 1955 and she also said that wearing pants in winter was the best thing and her legs wouldn't catch cold or frostbite (she was around her teens). She wore pants in the 70's at the restaurant and it was considered shocking by her mother, my granny.
My parents went to a college in the 60s that didn’t allow girls to wear pants even in winter.
@@jayg7482
It was all downhill after that thanks to your Mom.
The whole point of women wearing dresses is for easy access
Glad to know that these dress codes keep lowering the bar every year. It’s really working.
So glad I did t go to school in the 50s!!!
Girls today go school dressed like hookers. So I guess you are
The 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s were such a miserable time.
Imagine being considered "trash" because you wore jeans 😂. The girl in the "tight skirt" is giving Rizzo energy and I'm here for it
The whole thing is giving “Grease”
@@Msboochie2 Is The Word Is The Word
That was my first thought. Lol.
You're here for Lizzo energy? That's just caloric surplus.
Dyed hair was frowned on; one of the few girls who had it wore tight skirts. She nearly got in trouble one night walking home alone and had trouble convincing the cops she hadn't talked to the guy first. She wasn't very popular with the other students. Kids were judgmental in many areas.
Not the ankle bracelet! 😂 I tried to wear an ankle bracelet in grade school, and mom told me, “Ladies of the night wore ankle bracelets.” For years, I wore an ankle bracelet on both ankles, so I guess I was the lady of the night and the day. 😂😂
My word! 😤
lmao me too, in fact, Ive worn one all the time since around 1988. Its now 2024, yeah its still on AND Im 51 bahaha shoot me!!! ;o) x
That’s funny because i wore them when they were in about 15 years ago and had no idea they were considered “loose “. 😂 I always thought they were kinda elegant, guess not!
are ladies of the night prostitutes?
Thanks for explaining how the anklet was considered obscene😂 I've never heard of that.
:) I love it. Thanks,Dave ❤
🎶Summer lovin’ Had me a blast…🎶
🎶Tell me more -Tell me more -🎶
When I was in high school, I told my grandmother I wanted an ankle bracelet when I was a teen and she told me there was no way she would buy one for me because they were only worn by "loose" women. Lol!
I wish I could see her ankle bracelet but I can't because all the video information hides it.. bummer!
My aunt told me the same 😅
Loose women 😂😆🤣
Because it used to be that women wore ankle bracelets to let men know that she was a prostitute
👍🏼
My mom used to get into huge trouble with the nuns for having a Beehive. They’d send her home with notes saying that she was not allowed to have a Beehive. She did it anyway. Rest In Paradise, mom!!!
The higher the hair, the closer to Jesus!”
-the motto of Southern hairstylists even today.
Who didn't get in trouble with nuns in school back then? Those nasty women were the most miserable, heartless wolves in sheep's clothing around
Love it!@@Annie-Ruth
I was sent home by nuns or the priest/principal... sometimes, for my uniform skirt TOO short....66, 67.
@Annie-Ruth I never heard of that saying before, but I can imagine the amount of young women going to school with “big hair.”
I absolutely forgot to mention that she had gone to private Catholic school until she graduated 8th grade, then she went to a public high school, and she only attended 9th grade, then she dropped out. My grandparents gave their 8 children the option of either continuing their education, or they must get a job to help pay for things in the household, and if they wanted their own food, clothing, vehicles, etc.
She was hired, at Campbell Soup’s factory, and that’s where she met my dad, and he had noticed that she’d only brought an apple, a sandwich (sometimes), and something to drink, and he felt really sorry for her; he said that the minute he laid eyes on her, he fell in love with her. She told my younger sister and myself that she’d brush him off, because she didn’t want to date anyone, but he persisted in asking her on a date.
My mom told my sister and myself about how mean the nuns were back in the 50s. She said that the nuns would walk around in the classroom, and they’d tug at their student’s pens and pencils; IF they couldn’t pull either the pen or pencil from their student’s hand, they’d have to lay their hands flat on their desk, and the nun would hit their fingers with a wooden ruler. If a student was left-handed, they’d force them to write with their right hand, and the reason why they’d do something like that, because they felt that the devil was controlling them. I know, that sounds stupid, but I guess that’s the way it was during the 50s.
I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to read my comment, and respond to it. I sincerely appreciate it. Please have a safe, relaxing, enjoyable and wonderful weekend. God bless you, and your family.
Love that she says dungarees because my grandpa called them that, even in the 21st century. I often call them that now, too, but refrain so folks don’t stare at me too hard. 😊
I just love how its the same kids in each example. They were really acting.

My Gramps would always call jeans “dungarees”. As a kid, I’d laugh because I’ve never heard anyone use that term before. That is, until now. How I wish he was still alive.
May he rest in peace.

Sport-shoes and jeans were still a no-go for altar-boys in the 1970s (as well as girls seving in the catholic church: god forbids.. unduely things happening "behind the scenes" would have been reported sooo much earlier😅)
And 50s commentator: wait for mini-skirts and tank-tops😂

The one in the tight skirt walks like a boss!💯
My dad can’t understand the fad of ripped jeans or ones with holes in them. He said when he was growing up it was embarrassing if you had patches on your pants or jeans from being worn out. He was born in 1941 and is 83 years old. ❤
My dad's the same age and feels the same way. When denim overalls and painters pants became fashionable in the late 70s, he used to angrily rail against it proclaiming that they were "work clothes". 😊
My mom hated ripped jeans as well.
I'm 39 years old and I don't understand the fad either! 😂
i think it appropriates poverty, and I'm young.
I don't care for the ripped jeans look. However, I REALLY don't like the way these boys wear their jeans below their butt. Pull up your pants and walk like a man!
“In olden days a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking, but now god knows. Anything Goes” was written like 20 years before that.
In elementary school, I watched a child chuck a desk at the teacher. He was dressed really nicely and what would be considered appropriate. 😂😭
We all knew that one kid in school believe me when i say this is more common than you might think
In the Jr High I went to, it was a girl who threw a desk at a teacher. One year, on the last day of school, she shaved her head. She was clearly "touched".

In the early 70s, i wore a shirt that exposed my belly in 6th grade. I got sent home to change with about 7 other girls. We spent abt 3+ hours walking to each girls house in different neighborhoods across town. One of the best days we ever had in school!
That is such a wonderful memory. I also have such wonderful memories of me and my girlfriends in middle school in the 80s. Some of the best moments of my life.
They were the best times! We're the same age. We called them "belly tops" and the jeans were so low. My friends dad told me my parents shouldn't let me wear clothing like that. I told my mom who promptly sent me back down the block with this message "Mr. Fraine your wife shouldn't let you sit on the barstool all day, and if you got a job maybe you could buy your kids some new clothes. Come see my dad after he's out of uniform and locks up his pewpew and nightstick". 😱 😮😱 😅
I'm in Northern California and In 1969 I was in the 6th grade and up u till then , girls couldnt wear pants to school, but sometime during that year they passed the law that allowed us girls to wear pants !!! That was the best day, I still remember that !!

Because repressing people this much (seriously, ankle bracelets are a problem???) tends to lead to the repressed folks going a bit overboard the first chance they get, which for teens in the 50's tended to be their adulthood in the 60's.
That leather jacket is so stylish! 😩 ❤
The gum chewing to really send the message 😂
My dad grew up in a small town and said he was the first person to wear jeans to his high school. He said everyone was freaking out, but by the end of the month, half the guys were wearing jeans too. Now kids can’t even be bothered to get out of their pjs.
In the 70s we wore bell bottoms , black rock concert tshirts and kneehigh. Indian moccasins. We were never accused of culteral appropriation for the boots.
I’ve never seen a kid going to school in PJs. That’s ridiculous.
@@rod1499Have you been accused of cultural appropriation for wearing something? I haven’t.
@@Junebugreen I have! But they didn’t say cultural appropriation, they said it wasn’t appropriate for a white person to wear and I should focus more on wearing things in line with my own culture.
It was a beanie btw lol. I was wearing a beanie and was accused of trying to look black.
High school has also started earlier and earlier. I remember having to catch a 6:45 am bus just to get there on time, and that was half a decade ago! Pajama days were a blessing from God, but I don't see anything wrong with kids wearing pajamas or sweats in class normally, as they're usually not ridiculously revealing and I know a lot of students who changed into their day clothes during lunch, gym, or study hall.
Those rebel girls would fit in in any office today😂 If the narrator hadn't said anything I'd never know they were dressed rebelliously.

And now most teenagers don’t even look like they’ve got a dressed for school. They just go in their pajamas 😂
Because school fucking sucks 😭
And so do their parents, half the time.

Kids of 2024: Why are you looking like a Liberian from the 1950s with that skirt on?
Teachers of the 1950s: that skirt is too tight, Missy
I got kicked out of elementary school for wearing slacks. 😮
"Slacks" I haven't heard that word in so long. Ya got kicked out for wearing slacks? I'm sorry. The way they'd bring attention to us back then was embarrassing. Half the free world was probably talking about you for days. 😉
@kimberlydeeney5652 Your commentary on the word, "slacks" is spot on! Ermagawd.
@@kimberlydeeney5652 I was trying to think of a word for "not jeans". I fought the fight in the 5th grade and got "pantsuits" on the approval list. This wasn't even a church school. Win for the girls...lol.
Harlot
The word “dungarees” will always make me think of my grandma. only person I ever heard say it. RIP love you gram
Great word for blue jeans!!
Sounds like an Australian clothing. You got pants, jeans, slacks... the Brits have trousers, the Scots have knickers, the Germans have lederhosen, and the Aussies have their dungarees, mate
Me too.. LOL
I grew up in New York City in the 1960s and ‘70s. That’s what I used to call them - dungarees. I used to say “That’s boss!” in the ‘60s, if I really liked something, too. It’s funny how language changes from place to place and time to time.
Jeans at school was farmery and low-class ^_^ until about the late 60s into the 70s...
Hence the joke in Jumanji: ..." What happened to you, the Clampets have a yard sale?" ...🙃
OMG, and I lived through it all.. MEMORIES...👵
The swagger of the girl wearing "an extremely tight skirt" though 🤭 she's like: "I'm wearing bad school attire because I'm a bad, bad girl. What'r you gonna do about it?"
It was called you get a suspension and mom and dad got called. You don't know how many kids had change of clothes
I distinctly remember, when I was in the 2nd grade ("65-'66), classmates teasing my friend David for wearing jeans. His family was too poor to buy proper school pants (slacks). My sister graduated H.S. in '69. Girls wore dresses or skirts. They were not permitted to wear pants, unless it was EXTREMELY cold.
My mom wasn't allowed to wear pants at all. They could wear mini skirts but not pants. So the girls would wear pants with their short skirts over them for the walk to school, in freezing weather, and then have to pull the pants off at the school door and put them in their bags to be put back on for the cold walk home
@@elaexplorerthat’s odd seems you would just wear a long dress with knitted wool stockings underneath. Maybe double up on stockings and a cotton slip under the dress? Women didn’t wear nylon stockings year round with dresses. They wore warm stockings in winter with boots.
The little girls could wear pants under skirts. Older girls were skirts only.
We had a protest in 1970 and won the right to wear jeans. You're welcome.
My teachers used to slap me with a ruler whenever they saw me writting with my left hand 😂
that is a dream world. Women with skirts everywhere❤
Grandma I see ur pearls is that papa in the back next to u haha😂
Lol i love both looks. The bad attire ppl looked cool. The appropriate ppl like nice and wholesome. Present day, id wear both
I was in high school before we got to wear pants or slacks on Fridays. 1970. Seniors only. No short skirts, boys no "dungarees", except on Fridays, no casual shirts...I felt freedom wearing jeans to college & I haven't stopped since. I'm 71 now...
Damn man when do you think you’ll graduate? Do you know what you want to do yet after school?
I'm 77. In grade school girls could wear pants TO school in the snow, but had to put a skirt on at school - and could not change back to pants for the mile walk home. I had to drop out of high school because of health problems and I wore pants when I went to school to deal with all of the complications of getting enough credits to graduate. That 'bad' girl example did remind me of a couple of girls from 'the wrong side of the tracks'.... Not everything was all that negative. We had to learn go be more mature, especially when compared to what is expected of kids now. I wouldn't want to trade with what kids have to deal with now.
I don't really get jeans. I find them restrictive and uncomfortable not to mentioned very unattractive on both sexes. They're a little bit more comfy and attractive now they are made of spandex with the appearance of denim and are fitted to the leg but when they were straight and baggy eww no. So cold. Cold material if I did try to wear jeans I'd have to wear em in summer. Even now I've never found a pair that look good on me with my weird body shape or are comfortable and that don't fall down every move I make including bending.
Skirts/dresses for women ftw. They look good and are very comfy and warm! I tend to wear maxi skirts and dresses all winter and I'm nice and toasty.
@@cam5816
LMAOOOOO & my jeans....
How unfortunate. All these years and you haven't grown up yet. You've only grown old.
Straight outta Grease ❤️
We still dress like the ones in the pencil skirt and ankle bracelet with drop earrings....with a sweater or jacket, it's office to dinner to beachwear. Has never gone out of style....
@@Sumiya-lp8mm
Yeah I was about to say that I've seen that style a couple of times and that looks good to me Quite normal at least for today
I like both styles. 50s fashion was cool.
My Mum was in high school in the late 60s. She got in trouble for snipping the fingers off her gloves. I attended the same high school in the 90s and got in trouble for “grungifying” my uniform 😊
The style that was considered rebellious is now very put together. , tucked in shirts , nice jeans , skirts.
Was just talking about this the other day
Wow! This was actually quite refreshing. Today they go around with half their bodies on display, and we've certainly entered the age of the trashy tattoo.
When WE loose our values, WE loose everything. Look around😮 IT IS Always Low Selfworth to Show Off our bodies. How much sorrow startet with a sexy Body????
Iam free because of my thoughts Not because iam wearing a Zeitgeist wardrobe.
Love good qualitiy clothes, linen, Cotton, wool, tweed and Jeans😉
@@ironlady6897 This is such a corny comment. Let people wear what they want, we’re not living in the ancient ages anymore
Someone get this lady a flux capacitor! 😂
Hahahaahahhaah!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂I love that reference
The dropped earrings were actually very pretty ❤
Group one was Definitely the Cool Kids 😅💯
Couldn't come to school dressed like you were auditioning for Grease 😂❤
Chile...her brain would literally explode out her skull if she saw the clothes today
Ok so we are spelling chill wrong now lmao where’d it start?
@@lanceludwig5349This has been happening for like four or five years now, where have you been?
And it’s not “chill” it’s an alternate spelling of “child” from a popular clip taken from a tiktok stream where the person in the clip says “Um, chile… anyways, so.”
You can look it up. Hope this helps.
Grease was based off the hoodlums of the 50s
The "bad kids" are so wholesome in comparison to today.
Edited for quotation marks because people want to over read the "bad kids" aspect of the comment.
Fr, i was tryna figure out the difference 😂
You only say that because people with dark skin scare you.
💯
They weren't even bad though
Just saw a whole video of a kid being walked around in a middle school by a girl on a leash… wild
😂 I was six years old when this was filmed. I didn't have any of these choices in school attire, whether considered proper or improper. For my first eight school years I was forced to wear my Catholic school uniform: navy blue jumper with a cloth badge with the school insignia sewn onto the left side, over a white blouse with a Peter Pan collar. A full slip underneath was required. Shoes had to be black and white saddle shoes worn with white ankle socks. And you'd better keep those saddle shoes polished so they didn't look scuffed up! Oh...and don't let your hair fall in your eyes! Use barrettes or Bobby pins to keep your hair back! I got in trouble a few times cuz I had very fine hair and the pins always slipped out of my hair.😊
This is so sweet😂😂😂 makes me think of Grease
Boy, do I remember those days! Having to wear dresses/skirts to class in college with 4 feet of snow in 1966.
I remember that also, lol
Elementary in the 1970
Same year I was born
Hope you're doing well today
Im sorry, thats not ok you guys were not thought of as people, clear lack of safety from the schools
My mom told me that when she was in high school back in the 1960s that the vice principal ,a woman, would literally walk around during lunch and measure how far your hem was to your knee, and if it was too short, even a little, you’d get sent home. And you couldn’t wear pants to school only dresses. Yikes
They do that now I think. I graduated high school in 2010 and they’d take a yard stick and measure skirt lengths.
I worked in a bank in the 80's and all women had to wear dresses still.
They still do that it's silly
Really wish that was still a thing nowadays!
Not going to lie, the "proper" attire kids look way better and more beautiful than the others
Drop earrings was surprising to me! Thanks for sharing! Another great capture of time.
Jewelry makers of drop earrings were outlaws and the bain of the school system.
i dont understand that at all you cant wear earrings ? so weird
@denise8401234 Back in the day, drop earings were considered to be worn only by "loose" women.
A drop earing is one that dangles from the ear. Earrings that were considered appropriate were earings that rested flush on the ear lobe ie; " button" earrings or little studs.
Oh yes, only street walkers wear dropped earrings. Ladies wear studs.
@@Kimberly-FredrickYes. I would never have worn dropped earrings. Very loose women wore those. I had small diamond studs that I wore on occasion, but not pierced of course. If you pierced your ears you were considered a woman of ill repute. And the anklet that woman was wearing. We would’ve been very judgmental of that. We were much more judgmental back then of appearance. Nowadays people are very judgmental of the values, culture, and ethics of others.
Thats somebodys grandma 😂😂😂
A lot of people's grandma. She was showing off the merchandise 😂
grand grandma
There’s a decent chance you’ll also be someone’s grandparents at some point in your life. In other words: Youth is fleeting, you too will get old yadda yadda.
More likely someone’s great grandma. My mom was only 6 years old in 1957 and just this year became a great grandma.
😂😂😂😂😊
People are actually debating if these people would be old enough to be great grandparents nowadays. 🙄 1957 was 67 years ago. If these high schoolers were freshman, they're around 81 now. Definitely old enough to be great grandparents!
