How to Create a '20s Costume for Men

By eHow Fashion, Style & Personal Care Editor

Rate: (9 Ratings)

Just think of certain Pacino or DeNiro films to envision how a 1920s gangster should look.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Shave. Five o'clock shadow is not cool, even on a '20s gangster.
Step2
Slick back your hair.
Step3
Put on black socks.
Step4
Don a long-sleeved black shirt, a 3-inch-wide white tie, and trousers. The trousers must match your double-breasted black blazer with white pinstripes.
Step5
Put on a pair of black laced shoes with leather soles.
Step6
Place white spats over the tops of the shoes.
Step7
Put on your blazer, making certain to button all buttons.
Step8
Place a wide-brimmed black felt hat on your head, tilting it slightly a la Al Capone.

Tips & Warnings

  • Walk and talk like Pacino or DeNiro.
  • Exude cool.
