Great Gatsby Attire: How To Dress As If You Just Fell Out Of The Roaring 20's
Have you ever wanted to dress like the men did back in the roaring 20's for a fancy dress party? Now you can. There are a lot of shops that sell Great Gatsby Men's Clothing. You just need to know where to look. Once you have found your shop, the next step is to learn how to dress from that time.
We have some great tips on how you can get the same look from the movies at a lesser price.
1) The pants are very specific. You need to find pants that have a flat front and a high waist. You will need to ditch the modern pants. You might need to buy 1 or 2 sizes bigger for the high wait. You will also need to wear suspenders. Working class men wore brown, grey or navy blue. They could not afford the 3-piece suits the wealthy men wore.
You also need a vest to go with your Great Gatsby Attire. It does not need to match. It just has to be within the same color family. Make sure to button it up high to the neck.
2) You can use any dress shirt you already have in your closet. That will save you some money. You can wear one with or without a collar. The sleeves need to be rolled up if you are trying to pass off as working class. You need to do the opposite if you are pretending to be a wealthy man.
3) No Great Gatsby Mens Outfits are complete without the shoes. You will need a black or brown Oxford with laces. Boots are okay too. It is better if you can get capped toe shoes because they were very big back then.
One Final Touch
What about the cap? The cap is perfect to wear to a party if you are dressing as working class. You might want to ditch the hat if you are going as a member of the wealthy elite.
