From the November 5, 1956 FASHION feature - “NEW TRICKS IN TROUSERS: Pants Acquire Strange, Varied Shapes.” According to LIFE, “Now that trim, well-tailored slacks have become a staple with almost every woman who has a figure to match, designers are trying to lure them into new trick trousers that look zany on a clothesline, but are highly decorative when worn.” This image of “Puffy Pants” opened the feature and are made of silky cotton by Jamaica House, $65. (with inflation, these pants would cost well over $2000 today). (Sharland—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #fashionfriday #puffypants #vintagefashion #1950sfashion
