[Closed] 1920s themed fancy dress

[img] [/img]

just don't lose the bowler hat!

I'm not sure a modern suit would look particularly 1920s.

You could try a DJ with high winged shirt collar?

Don't forget to grow a really impressive moustache.

Unfortunately, Captain America was more of a 1940's thing otherwise you'd have been all set.

😀 ^^

'20's were a bit boring for blokes, tbh, post war austerity and all that.

Short back and sides, Brylcream, nice suit with narrowish lapels, single breasted for the UK, pegged or flat front narrow trousers, waistcoat and a fob watch, good all leather shoes.

Have some pictures of my dad as a young blade in the 20's - tank top, cotton shirt, slightly wider trews, brouge type shoes.

Boaters a bit old fashioned, flat cap ftw.

My neice is really into this kind of thing.

Much more fun if you go 1890's to 1910's.
Just pretend you're going as someone really unfashionable.

Bugsy Malone-esque outfit; gangster outfit with obligatory splat gun.

Dress like a hipster. Sorted.

Fourth post for a Captain America reference. Not bad. Not great, but not bad.

Brylcream

Lol. Not really going to work for me... 🙂

I realise a modern suit won't be quite the same, but near as dammit. I'm not going to shell out hundreds on real vintage clothes I'll never wear again.

tempted to get a pair of vintage looking round glasses just for the occasion

Try living in some!

Yeah, Sorry, I was making a cuppa. I'll try to be quicker next time. 😉

Go full Peaky Blinders, and hide razor blades in your cap.

Push the boat out and go full Great Gatsby.

Straw hat, striped blazer, chinos, two tone brogues.

or a flapper dress.

Wear a flapper dress ?

or a swimming costume, I did this the other xmas party with a boater and a rolled up towel and a fake moustache:

All available on Amazon, search for 1920s fancy dress.

Forget Captain America, and think Italian. Go as a Blackshirt, complete with chest full of medals

To a wedding?

It's not a fancy dress party, it's a themed wedding.

To a wedding?

I think if you have a 'themed' wedding, you probably deserve everything you get, even if that includes Molls is a swimsuit

A Gangsters Moll would be better.

It's a bit annoying and I normally hate such things, but they are a lovely couple, so I'll play along, I'll enter into the spirit of things and I'm flattered they invited us 🙂

Dinner suit, slicked down hair, topped off with an old life jacket (Titanic vibe)

Nazi party was founded in 1920. Tache, goose stepping, endless opportunities to get into character. It's the obvious choice.

Go “full Belgian” FTW..

Al Jolson - 1927 the Jazz Singer. Suit and tie, white gloves, blacked up face. Classic.

Full KKK uniform? They were popular in the '20s

I was thinking of a normal suit with a waistcoat, then a trilby hat

I'm loving Godless on Netflix right now, Ed Logan is such a bad ass
