From the Jan. 28, 1957 fashion feature: “STYLISH SLOUCH: Spring suits—and wearers—take on a relaxed look.” According to LIFE, this was the new look for spring, relaxed fashion by U.S. designers inspired by Chanel. This image opened the story with the following caption: “Casual outfits for spring are pale tweed suit with short jacket and dotted blouse (Ben Zuckerman, $245) worn with off-the-face felt hat (Emme, $60) and similar suit of wool-and-silk tweed with a silk blouse (Ben Zuckerman, $235) which is worn with head-hugging felt hat turned back at sides (Sally Victor, $65). With inflation, these suits would average approx. $2000 today. (Gordon Parks—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #fashionfriday #1950sfashion #GordonParks
