Cigarette Pants were like the skinny jeans of their day. They were smoking hot in the fifites, when Marilyn and other glamorous stars wore them. The differences between modern-day skinny pants and cigarette pants are that the cigarette pants are higher-waisted and typically ankle length, whereas modern skinny jeans are often low-rise and very tight at the ankles and have excess length, creating a bunched-up effect at the ankle.
What makes these new Black Cigarette Pants fantastic are that they have the sexy, curvy, snug fit of contemporary skinny pants but with the high waist of retro pants (in other words, avoid low-waist muffin top). The modern Millennium material is durable and wrinkle-resistant. There is a single exposed zipper, which is another modern, trendy touch. And there are no pockets to bulk up your perfect silhouette. The length makes them great for both flats and boots.
So if you gotta smoke, do it euphemistically in really hot cigarette pants!

So freakin' versatile, you'll want them in every color and style! These cheeky Black Cuffed Pinup Shorts have a super high waist with four shiny black buttons. The Bengaline material (Rayon/Nylon/Spandex blend) is super stretchy but holds its structure without getting all wrinkly and droopy. These shorts will be a summer staple because you can wear them with absolutely anything. T-shirt and wedges, fishnets and boots, flip flops and a tank top. Go for it, girl.

From the Rockabilly Clothing Blog: Come on, bad girl. As we learned from 30-year old high school student Rizzo in the movie Grease, there are worse things you could do than wear this sexy off-the-shoulder pinup top and turn the heads of a boy or two. To complete your bad girl look, pair this top with pedal pushers, high waist shorts, or a pencil skirt.
(Don't worry about Rizzo... she went on to marry the president! Could've been worse...)

I have a confession to make... I don't know a lot about the rave scene. I was just beginning to settle down and start a grown-up life when the rave counter-culture really became a thing. But the more I learn about it, the more I realize it's not that far removed from the club kids of the late '80s/early '90s, with which I'm a bit more familiar. The clothes are different (and skimpier!) and the drugs are different (which we certainly frown upon!) but at its heart are the same principles of being wild and free and having amazing experiences in adorable costumes, and these are sentiments which know no age. I have no graceful segue from this preamble... so uh... here's some smiley face rave wear things!
The Yellow Smiley Face Leg Warmers are fuzzy, furry, and adorable. The Happy Pill Purse is made of yellow vinyl and is roomy enough to hold all of your essentials the next time you venture out onto the dance floor.
The one thing I love about the new Rave Wear Collection from Leg Avenue is that all the items are totally appropriate for Gay Pride Festivals (which is huge in our hometown) as well as Burning Man. So even if you don't get that whole rave thing, there are still plenty of opportunities for any gender at any age to wear these adorable costumes.
We love all the pieces from this collection. The combination of classic, retro design with racy, modern design is something really special. Each piece features rose pink satin or sapphire blue satin combined with black lace, mesh, and tulle. Some of the items back in stock are: Pink and Black Chemise and G-String, Pink and Black Cupless Bra, Blue and Black Cupless Bra, and Blue and Black Panties.
We don't always dress like sexy secretaries around here, but when we do, we're wearing this adorable "Madeleine" Suspender Skirt with a retro, high-collar blouse! This skirt is back in stock from Broad Minded Clothing and features design influence from '50s styles. The high waist has six, big, shiny buttons. The stretchy Millennium fabric hugs all your curves while maintaining a wrinkle-resistant, structured shape. A darling new addition to your pinup wardrobe!
Featured here is the new Pink Sequin Bikini Top and Booty Shorts Set from Leg Avenue Lingerie. These pics demonstrate the two very different looks you can achieve with styling and accessories. This set features tiny "micro" sequins. The top is halter style and ties with straps. The booty shorts have strappy sides. A very cute set for dancing, clubbing, romantic evenings, modeling, costume parties, etc.
We are really digging on Leg Avenue's new "Rave Wear" collection-- even though not all of us have the right bod for the teeny little outfits-- because we can still groove on the adorable accessories like this Sweetheart Bear Kit, which includes a pair of furry bear ears on a headband and matching furry "paws". Even if you're over the age limit for raves, you can still cute it up for Halloween, Burning man, pride festivals, fairs, music festivals, and so on!
Sometimes I have to rely on my teenage daughter to spot the trends for me. She's into this thing called "soft grunge" which seems to be the oversized-top-with-leggings-and-big-boots look of the eighties (which I still love, dammit) combined with the soft and distressed textures of the nineties. (in my opinion, the trend seems to be an attempt to create the blurred, washed-out-pastel vibe of an Instagram photo in an outfit) These Distressed Footless Tights fit into this trend-- See photo of Dakota Fanning below-- I can't really explain the fuzzy tiara, but the rest of the outfit demonstrates this look quite nicely. My teenager would wear these tights with denim cut-offs and some sort of ugly thrift store Cosby sweater. How would YOU wear them?
There are at least two events coming up at which these Rainbow Lace Ruffle Tanga Shorts would be totally appropriate-- pride parade and Burning Man. But I bet you can think of other occasions to wear these festive knickers, such as photo shoots and parties. Or make this the Summer of Don't Need No Damn Reason and where them grocery shopping, along with big, round sunglasses, bikini top, and flip flops. Or, you know... whatever!
Is "Punky Brewster Chic" a thing people say? If not, it should be! Anyway, like the gal whose gams are featured in this photo, you've probably graduated from mis-matched Converse hi-tops to peep toe high heels, but that doesn't mean you have to stop wearing cute leg warmers, such as these Black and Neon Striped Leg Warmers from Leg Avenue.
From the Babygirl Boutique Retro Pinup Shoe Blog: This darling new, retro-inspired pinup shoe design from Pinup Couture Shoes features a peep-toe, concealed platform, 5 1/4" heel, and a cute ruffle embellishment with piping trim over the vamp. This sweet new style is available in Black Suede, Tropical Floral, and Beige Suede. The creamy beige option is especially visually dramatic with the contrasting black heel and platform.
From the BGB Swimwear Blog: We are frequently contacted by gals lamenting the fact that many of our swimsuits pieces are not sold as separates. Not only do they want to mix and match styles, but oftentimes they require different sizes on the top and bottom. We are so super excited to be able to offer these fabulous, retro-inspired swimwear separates so you can put together a perfect two-piece bikini swimwear look for any occasion. The tops are halter-style with a gathered bust and are one size fits cup sizes A thru C. The bottoms are super high-waisted with full-bottom coverage and zippers in the back, and are available in sizes S/M and M/L. These pieces are made in the USA.
Some of the styles and colors available are Shimmer Leopard Print with gold accents, Black with White Polka Dots, a cool and icy Silver Shimmer, and versatile solid black. Click the photos below for more details on each piece. So affordable, you can get all the pieces and mix and match all summer long!
