Women of the late 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s hosted poolside “Tiki” parties or went to the nearest tiki lounge where tropical drinks with little pink umbrellas were enjoyed by all. To dress for the tiki parties women wore tropical print dresses also called tiki dresses. Many were inspired by Hawaiian life, Carribean colors, and Mexican Riviera vacations. Pairing a 1950s pinup tiki dress with sandals, a hair flower slip, bamboo jewelry, sunglasses and a parasol is one popular vintage summer outfit.
