8. Clothing
TODAY: Youths today often choose to clad themselves in jeans and colorful tops for a casual day out. Feminine types also enjoy boho skirts and dresses.
IN 1957: Krishnan says that 1957 style wasn't half as 'flashy' as it is today. "We'd wear pants, and plain shirts. I can't believe some of the slogans that are on shirts today," he says bemusedly.
Rani says that 1957 fashion was much more safe than today. "we'd wear three quarter pants with shirts, and dress up in skirts when there was a party. We'd never think of showing our cleavage."
9. Hairdos
TODAY: Hair dye has become the rage! Our styles may remain for the most part fairly simple, but youths today enjoy being able to choose whether to be blonde, redheaded, or raven-haired for the day.
IN 1957: Clean-cut was the style, and Krishnan says young men back then liked gelling their hair back in much the same way young men today do. "If you wanted to talk to the ladies, you couldn't approach them without having some slick in your hair," he laughs.
"For young girls, the beehive (think a toned down Marge Simpson) was extremely popular. Another hairdo that was pupular was 'the page boy cut'. "We'd cut the fringe in front, and curl it either in or out," Rani Raymond, 64, recalls.

This can't work in reality, that is exactly what I suppose.
