Gangsters became popular in the early 1920s in America. This subculture has always fascinated people due to its fun, exciting, and alluring reputation. At the height of prohibition, mobsters ruled the streets, each claiming their own territories in which to sell and distribute alcoholic beverages.

Mens Gangster CostumeIf you wanted to be the boss, you had to look the part. This is where the gangster fancy dress look really gained in popularity. Typically, mens gangster costumes should be tailored, pin-striped suits with matching fedoras.

Personally, my favorite includes a long black jacket with white pin stripes, satin collar, front buttons, and matching pants.

This costume is sure to be a hit wherever you go!

Add an imposing (fake of course) Tommy gun to really make an immediate impact of those around you.

The perfect mobster costume includes a few crucial accessories. Men should definitely wear a fedora if possible. These mafia hats really complete the overall look of the costume. During the roaring twenties, most men also smoked cigars. Find yourself a nice cigar to put in the front pocket of your zoot suit; just don’t smoke it around others.

Women should go all out as well. If you are wearing a shorter skirt or dress, try adding knee-high boots and fishnet stockings.

Roaring Twenties Costumes

roaring 20s costumeThe American lifestyle of the 1920s has long fascinated people around the world. As a result, roaring twenties costumes have always been extremely popular.

Under the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution the sale of alcoholic beverages became outlawed. Of course, the only thing this amendment did was to fuel the demand for alcohol. Most people elected to ignore this ban, preferring to actively search for their beverage of choice.

This increased demand gave rise to the popularity of bootlegging, which is just a fancy way of saying that alcohol was smuggled into the country; often from Canada or Mexico. Mafia bosses and their henchmen would then resell it at popular speakeasies (i.e. elicit nightclubs).Red Flapper Dress

As the power and prestige of mob bosses continued to increase, America was introduced to a few of the most notorious gangsters ever known. Al Capone, Jack Dragna, Micky Cohen, Lucky Luciano, and Bugsy Seagal were just a few of the more famous mafia bosses.
