#sims 4 retro lookbook

[telekinetictrait]

"I was pretending that I did not speak their language; on the moon we spoke a soft, liquid tongue, and sang in the starlight, looking down on the dead dried world." (We Have Always Lived In The Castle – Shirley Jackson, 1962)

the 1960s were also known as the swingin' sixties, and that name could not be more appropriate. while some other decades had moved towards comfort, the 1960's truly embraced it. some of the youth simply threw on a tunic and stepped into some pants and walked out the door! the popularity of television broadcasted different styles and trends across the country and the world. new materials like acrylics and polyesters were cheap to produce and to buy, and made fashion more accessible than it ever had been. the swingin' sixties brought the youth miniskirts, striped sweaters, the boxy "mod" look, and the bright, fun makeup associated with famous artists like twiggy. some older women tended towards the skirt + suit jacket combination worn by first lady jackie kennedy, but the comfort of the youth was appealing to all ages. beatnik fashion was also popular, with trim black trousers and dark sweaters. in 1964, hairspray was the most popular beauty product on the market – and it showed in the elaborate updos of the era. as the decade drew to a close, the "hippie" style was a popular look among the youth, with loose fitting tops and baggy pants, as well as maxi skirts. many of the hippies incorporated crafts into their fashion, with patchwork and beadings becoming popular.

this is only a very brief summary – the trends and influences of the 1960s are vast and complex, just as the 1960s themselves were. the social revolutions mirrored the revolutions in fashion, and i could write essays about it. but i am tired and i moved in today.

I've had a 1960s spy themed lookbook on my to-do list for quite some time now, so when @surely-sims and @ice-creamforbreakfast released their fabulous Poppy collection last week it was the final push I needed to bring it to life. They've created so many fun patterns and colour combinations, but I thought I'd draw on classic Spy vs Spy comics by sticking to a black and white palette.

1930s Loookbook

After the roaring 20s, fashion became more conservative in the 1930s, with hair and hemlines getting longer again. The era was defined by the great depression, after the stock market crashed in 1929, and lasted through almost the whole decade. Many families during this time began making dresses from flour sacks, and so companies began printing textiles on the sacks for extra reusability. Despite the decade's widespread poverty, fashion themes of femininity and elegance prevailed, inspired by Hollywood stars like Joan Crawford.

REBECCA

Rebecca was born into a family of celebrities in the exclusive Del Sol Valley area. Since childhood, she did not need anything, and could do what she wanted: bought expensive items and cosmetics. When the girl grew up, she began to attend social parties and soon became an integral part of them, dancing the night away and getting in touch with celebrities. So she became a star herself, without doing anything special.

🇬🇧 SWINGING SIXTIES

"Groovy, mod, colorful." (This song was legit stuck in my head the entire time I was creating these models.)

Unexpectedly, a 1960's-inspired lookbook! This one was something of a passion project. ( ‾�� ◡ ‾́ )

My main inspiration being this wonderful piece of artwork! You can see that for the "Cosmo-Corps Style" and "Psychedelic" outfits I had to get creative. ( ╥ω╥ )

For the Cosmo-Corps look I took inspo from this photo instead of following the artwork. (And yes I know the Psychedelic Sim sticks out like a sore thumb but shhh she's beautiful, let her have her anachronistic fun in the 60's.) As per usual, CC used on each look will be listed down below!

Mod/Mini Outfit: Hairstyle and Earrings, Dress, Nails (Base Game), Leggings (Get To Work), Pumps

Cosmo-Corps Outfit: Hat, Bob Cut, Earrings, Sunglasses, Dress, Turtleneck Accessory (TSR), Nails, Leggings (Jungle Adventure), Shoes

Bohemian-Chic Outfit: Hair (Base Game), Necklace, Dress, Bangles, Nails, Pumps

Psychedelic Outfit: Hair, Earrings (Base Game), Glasses On Head, (Simsdom), Choker (A recolor of Loverett's Double Choker by SappyLemonTree, but I can't seem to track down the original post, and their blog is no longer up? TwT) , Dress, Bangles and Bracelets, Mismatched Nails, Socks, Go-Go Boots

Poses: @helgatisha

Thanks to all the wonderful CC creators!

It's been a while since I made one of these but here's another 70s retro-inspired lookbook. This time for the guys. 🌿

[telekinetictrait]

"I have my happiness, which I guard like a wolf, and I have authority now and a certain amount of daring, which, if you remember correctly, I never had before." (Two Serious Ladies – Jane Bowles, 1943)

the first half of the 1940s was, of course, dominated by world war two. just as with world war one, more women were involved in the war effort, and those who weren't often took the jobs dominated by men. icons such as rosie the riveter propagated a sort of idealized "tough girl" image, with her denim coveralls and clenched fists – yet red lips, defined lashes, and thin brows. she was just masculine enough to fit the mold of serving one's country, and still feminine enough for the general public to accept. once again, fabric rationing led to certain garments and styles being reused and revamped. some designers, like claire mccardell, worked within the confines of wool and silk rationing to create clothing made of denim and jersey knits. "ready-to-wear" clothing was becoming more popular, especially in the united states, allowing fashion trends to spread faster and further than before. at the end of the decade, christian dior debuted his "new look", which would set the stage for the iconic mid-century silhouette: cinched waists (thanks a lot, dior...), full skirts, and round shoulders. this "new look" emphasized the stereotypical ideal of femininity and ruled post-war fashion.

okay, maybe the tangent about claire mccardell wasn't that important, but i did just see a museum exhibit about her, so i wanted to include it.

(ps. i know 1942 isnt entirely accurate but it was a fit of inspiration, and it takes like 20 minutes to get my game open so i was not willing to exit when i already had two looks done)

1800’s/ 1900-1909 / 1910-1919 / 1920-1929 / 1930-1939

1940s Lookbook

Fedoras, trench coats, Hollywood glamour, and American patriotism, it’s the 1940s! WWII had a huge effect on the fashion of the 40s. Rationing meant people were encouraged to wear utilitarian garments with less fabric. Wide-legged high waisted pants were popular on men and women, as the war necessitated more women to enter the workforce, often working in factories.
