1920s Costumes

1920s costumes

At Costumalia, you can step straight into the glamour of the Roaring Twenties with our collection of 1920s costumes for men and women. Think Charleston dresses with fringing and sequins, gangster costumes with pinstripe suits, feathered headbands, pearl necklaces and all those little details that make a themed party feel like a real speakeasy.

Whether you are going to a New Year’s Eve party, a cabaret night, a Great Gatsby event or a fancy dress celebration, 1920s costumes have that mix of elegance, fun and drama that never really goes out of style.

Charleston costumes for women

Charleston costumes are a favourite for 1920s-themed parties, and it is easy to see why. They move beautifully, catch the light and bring that unmistakable cabaret energy to the dance floor.

Our Charleston dresses include styles with fringing, sequins and feathers, so you can choose a design that feels bold, elegant or a little bit cheeky. Classic necklines and above-the-knee cuts help create that instantly recognisable 1920s silhouette, especially when paired with the right accessories.

If you want a costume that feels lively from the moment you put it on, a Charleston dress is a brilliant choice. After all, what is a Roaring Twenties party without a bit of sparkle?

Gangster costumes for men

For men, gangster costumes are one of the most recognisable ways to dress for a 1920s party. Pinstripe suits, braces, bow ties and wide-brimmed hats give you that old Chicago mobster style without needing to overcomplicate the outfit.

You can go for a full pinstripe suit for a sharper finish, or create the character with a shirt, braces, bow tie and hat. Add a fake cigar or gangster moustache, and suddenly the whole costume has much more personality.

It is a great option for group themes too, especially if some guests dress as gangsters and others choose Charleston costumes. The photos practically take care of themselves.

1920s accessories for women

The accessories are what make a 1920s costume come alive. A Charleston dress already has plenty of movement, but add the right details and the whole outfit feels more polished and theatrical.

Feathered and sparkling headbands are a classic starting point, especially with long pearl necklaces, pearl earrings or bracelets. A feather boa adds a cabaret feel, while a sequin bag is both stylish and useful for carrying the essentials.

You can also finish the outfit with a black or platinum 1920s wig and a cigarette holder for that unmistakable vintage touch. Small details, big difference.

1920s accessories for men

Men’s 1920s accessories are just as important. Gangster hats, top hats and flat caps can completely change the style of the costume, depending on whether you want to go more elegant, streetwise or theatrical.

Vintage braces, period-style ties, bow ties, fake cigars and gangster moustaches are easy additions that help build the character. They are especially useful if you want to turn simple clothes into a full 1920s costume without starting from scratch.

Get ready for a Roaring Twenties party

With 1920s costumes, you can go glamorous, mischievous or full gangster-film drama. Choose a Charleston dress, a pinstripe suit or a few clever accessories, and you will be ready to dance, pose and enjoy the party with all the confidence of the Roaring Twenties.
