What is a Gatsby Party

After the 2013 Great Gatsby movie, there has 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 Great Gatsby party suits 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 1920s 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 1920s men’s dress shirts had white detachable collars.
  • Wearing a striped shirt with a 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!
