Romantic and incredibly seductive style of pin up in clothes originated in America in the first half of the last century with the light hand of the artist Charles Gibson, who worked on creating posters. Flirtatious girls with big breasts, aspen waists and sloping hips stirred the imagination of men, and women tried to imitate the painted beauties. A few years later, the animated cartoon Betty Boop appeared on the screens, the main character of which was a seductive girl in a defiantly red dress, from under which garters in stockings were visible. The American censorship considered the image vulgar, and in 1934 the cartoon was banned for display. And the peak of the popularity of the pin-up style in clothes fell on the 50s, when the legendary Merlin Monroe became his embodiment. The actress and singer popularized not only pin-up clothes, but also poses for photography , which became her business card.

The modern incarnation
Today pin up clothing is experiencing a rebirth. Many fashion designers are inspired by retro pictures and offer fashionable women with fashionable images full of coquetry and femininity. A distinctive feature of this retro style is the abundance of truly feminine features - an emphasis on hips, waist and chest, bright colors, flower prints, peas and stripes, patent shoes with a rounded toe and high heels, massive hair accessories, bright scarlet varnish for nails and the same color lipstick.
If we talk about skirts and dresses, they should be flared, short and lush. Girls who prefer pin-up style, often wear stockings with garters, which playfully look out from under the skirt when the breeze blows. Deep neckline, corsets, shorts-micro high waist, satin bodys, bright tight t-shirts, pretty closed swimsuits, wide straps, high-necked and lace-up shoes - pin-up style emphasizes fragility, fervor, sexuality and romanticism in girls at the same time. This is easily seen by looking at Katy Perry and Dita von Teese, who prefer a pin-up style in dress. Modern stars of show business images in the style of pin up are used quite often, because explicit sexuality is not very interesting, and girls reminiscent of the distant fifties look both attractive and romantic and coquettish, intriguing the audience.
