This trend “Honey I’m Home” is all about the fifties. Dresses that accentuate the waste and come in all shades of pastels. This trend is very conservative and emphasizes the beauty of every part of the body like the arms and legs. It’s very elegant and graceful. Picture a husband in a suit swinging open the front door to see his beautiful housewife holding a pan of freshly baked cookies. ”Honey, I’m home!” She looks graceful and put together in her pink pastel dress that hits right above the knee.

More family values from the fifties are being encouraged such as family meals. Times in the fifties were simple and to regain that simplicity we dress in these fashions to gain back some of that simplicity. People want to appear put together. The persona that comes along with the fifties is elegant and graceful, dressing in these conservative, pastel clothes lets people experience that again today.

Honey I’m Home
Manifestations
It is all about being the perfect lady and looking put together. This trend is based on the 50’s which means perfect tailoring accentuating the waist to show off that hourglass figure. A key item to have is a dress called a swing skirt. Dresses and skirts will have longer hem lines at knee-length or floor length to conceive a conservative and clean cut look. Sunreay pleats will be domiant along with knife pleats. Tops will have a rounded neck sometimes bearing a colar round it. Items will be accentuating with colors some having fur trimming.
