Step into the Roaring Twenties
The 1920s gave menswear some of its most iconic looks, and they have never really gone away. From the effortless elegance of The Great Gatsby to the hard-edged tailoring of Peaky Blinders, this is the era of the three-piece suit, the wide lapel and the bold pinstripe. Our 1920s, vintage and themed collection lets you channel that period for a Roaring Twenties party in Sydney or Melbourne, a vintage Australian wedding or simply a wardrobe with serious character.
What Defines a 1920s Suit
The signature 1920s look is a three-piece suit: a structured jacket, a matching waistcoat and tailored trousers. Period details include wide notched or peaked lapels, high button stances, single or double-breasted fronts, and wide-leg or cuffed trousers. Pinstripes, chalk stripes, tweed and herringbone were the fabrics of the day, adding the texture that makes vintage tailoring feel authentic and that continues to turn heads at themed events across Australia today.
Gatsby vs Gangster: Two Ways to Wear the Era
There are two classic directions. The Gatsby look is refined and aspirational think light grey, cream, ivory and soft pastels, linen in the Australian summer, and an air of old-money elegance perfect for garden parties and outdoor wedding receptions. The gangster or Peaky Blinders look is darker and tougher, built on charcoal, brown and navy, heavy tweed and bold pinstripe, often finished with a flat cap ideal for themed dinners, murder mystery nights and 1920s costume events popular across Australia. Both are unmistakably 1920s; choose the mood that fits your occasion.
Colours, Fabrics and Patterns
Grey, brown and blue were the most common men's suit colours of the decade, with black and charcoal for formal occasions. Pinstripe and chalk stripe deliver instant period authority, while tweed and herringbone bring rugged texture. For Australian summer events and outdoor receptions, lighter ivory and tan tones capture the Gatsby spirit beautifully. Pair with our pinstripe suits and double-breasted suits to complete the era.
Styling and Accessories
Accessories make the decade come alive. Add a waistcoat, braces, a pocket square, a tie or bow tie, and a French-cuff shirt with cufflinks. Top it with a flat cap or a fedora and finish with polished leather brogues or oxfords. Whether you are dressing for a Roaring Twenties party in Brisbane or Perth, a vintage-themed Australian wedding or a costume event, these details turn a suit into a complete period look delivered free to your door anywhere in Australia.
