Old Hollywood is an aesthetic surrounding the movies, music, and fashion of the 1930's- 1950's. It's meant to draw you into a time before and forget about the current things happening.

Fashion

Clothing

Fashion from the old Hollywood days include:

Midi length dresses, large collars, puff sleeves, belted waists
A long evening gown, backless, deep cut, sleeveless
High waisted sailor pants
Slouch hats, tilt hats, knit berets
Pillbox hats
Fur boas and jackets
Oxford Shoes
T-strap and Mary Jane heels
Kitten heels
Pearl earrings
Small handbags
Opera gloves

Makeup was minimal but bold, dark lips and thin eyebrows were popular.

You can get pieces like these from vintage/thrift stores, there are also lots of sewing patterns on Etsy.

Hair

Shorter hair is ideal, but you can still have lots of hair-do's with longer hair.
