What is a Gatsby Party

After the 2013 Great Gatsby movie, there's been a great demand for 1920s men’s fashion. The 1920s inspired men’s clothing has made its way into Ralph Lauren’s collection as well as other top fashion designers!

The main question we've been hearing lately is...

How to throw a Great Gatsby themed party?

Suits Outlets is here to help! Just remember to add the following elements and you'll surely get a successful GG Party this weekend.

  • Chandeliers
  • Feathers and Pearls
  • Casino Games
  • Vintage Decorations
  • Create a playlist with modern covers of 1920s songs

That's it! Nice and easy. The next part is the dress code. While a lady can wear her favorite flapper girl costume, it is worth discussing the gentlemen's attire here.

Let's start with a complete guide here:

An authentic 1920s formal look is different from modern fashion in a lot of ways.

Some popular designs of 1920 suits are:

  • Textured wools, tweeds, herringbone, check and thick striped patterns.
  • Suit pants came up very high on the waist.
  • Add suspenders to your pants.
  • A matching vest is a must.

And the 1920s shirt styles:

  • Early 1920’s men’s dress shirts had white detachable collars.
  • Wearing a striped shirt with white collar will immediately transform your modern suit into one from 1920.
  • A bow tie will make you look a bit more vintage than a necktie.

Don't forget the hats!
