Gloves and hats were a big part of the formal outfit then.Check out the ad for the Salon of Beauty.RELAX COMPLETELY…bring your knitting we’ll supply the coffee. Some of us may knit along with you, while you “dry.”Quoting from a story headlined:Gloves for spring are shortThis year, it’s a gay, young spring marked by prettiness and an aura of school - girlishness. And to “hand” you a look that is as fresh as a new crocus are a bevy of bright and sprightly new gloves.From the 1965 Spring fashion tab, photos by Jim Vestal.

Why not just chuck the gloves entirely, ladies?!
I do, however, appreciate the fact that knitting was encouraged at the “Salon of Beauty.” It may have been easier to do when most women would have been getting “waves” instead of actual haircuts.
Keep the fashion pix coming!
