About this deal

We’re not trying to convince you to lead a life of crime, following in the footsteps of Capone or Dillinger, but acting like a gangster for a night is the best way to get in touch with your bad self. And for those dangerous gangsters, being an outlaw was just as much about style as it was about ruthless competition with the law. Well, it all comes down to this! Selecting your gangster Halloween costume isn’t always easy, since you really have to decide what kind of “criminal” you’d like to portray yourself as. Just look at all the real-life criminals of the 1920s. Anything less than a snazzy suit and tie was doing the organized crime an injustice. That’s exactly the reason why all of our gangster costumes come with a dapper look that you can wear to the speakeasy, or to the next bank robbery (again, not that we condone any sort of unlawful behavior while wearing any of these outfits)! For something unique, consider making your own working class gangster girl outfit or gangster guy costume with a tweed suit, vest, flat cap and oxford shoes. Browse our entire selection of 1920s, 1930s, 1940s clothing using the menu above to mix and match your gangster costume.

Cue the brass band, there's nothing quiet about these Halloween flapper costumes! No matter what style you choose, you'll look right at home shimmying in a Chicago speakeasy in these flapper dresses. Read below and we'll tell you more about the reasons a flapper costume is a must-have for any costumed wardrobe and how to make sure you get the right look for your roaring twenties persona! Don't forget to complete your gangster ensemble with our wide range of accessories. Choose from gangster hats, fake mustaches, suspenders, and spats to add the perfect finishing touches to your outfit. Our selection of gangster-themed props and weapons, such as tommy guns and fake money, will make you feel like you just stepped out of a prohibition-era film. It was a case of "unintended consequences." The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the United States. It was passed onmoraland health grounds. What its proponents failed to recognize was that people who wanted alcohol would find a way to get it. So a whole illegal industry arose, and the American gangster was born. Bootleggers. Moonshiners. Rum-runners. Al Capone. George "Machine Gun" Kelly. Then there were the G-Men, who worked to stop the bootleggers. Eliot Ness and the Untouchables. Izzy Einstein and Moe Smith. They all earned places in American history.The mystery and mayhem caused by gangsters in the 20s, 30s, and 40s have inspired recent movie and TV entertainment, from Boardwalk Empire to Peaky Blinders. Choosing a classic 20s or 30s gangster costume for men is as easy as combining a pinstripe suit, fedora hat, vest or suspenders, two-tone shoe or spats, and a fake gun. While we have so many ideas on how to put child flapper costumes to use, and we haven't even touched on the adorable concept of baby flapper costumes, it's time to move on to one of our favorite ideas, reusing women's flapper Halloween costumes for themed parties. Because, as we all know, reusing is the cat's meow! Kid flapper costumes are a great staple to have in your kid's dress-up wardrobe! (or any age, for that matter) White flapper costumes can be worn in a 4th of July parade, to a Mardi Gras Party, and even on a cold Halloween night when paired with grandma's old fur coat from the seventies! Flapper girl costumes are sure to spark impromptu dance parties to big band music, every time they come out of the closet, which might be quite often! Are you hosting a bachelorette party this year? Your guests will thank you for a 1920's theme! Not only is it a great chance to swill Champagne and gin and tonics, but roaring 20s flapper costumes happen to flatter every body type and a wide range of styles. When your friends try on their flapper costumes in plus size, they'll be delighted to find that most of our flapper dresses are designed to hug and flatter at the same time. Those who don't feel comfortable slipping into one of our flapper dance costumes could even dress in an easy gangster costume! Step into the shoes of Al Capone or Bonnie and Clyde with our wide selection of gangster costumes for both men and women. From pinstripe suits to elegant flapper dresses, we have everything you need to create an authentic and stylish gangster look. Our costumes are made with high-quality materials to ensure comfort and durability throughout the night, so you can dance the Charleston or make your way through the speakeasy without any worries.

Everyone can dress in different colors, leaving white to the bride! Those who choose one of our silver flapper costumes will find that it's absolutely perfect to reuse for New Year's Eve. One of our pink flapper costumes would look so sweet at a garden party. Gold flapper costumes are utterly timeless and would look amazing at Halloween or even on a date night to one of those trendy speakeasies. And we can't think of a better look to take to New Orleans than one of our purple flapper costumes. Yes, this is one theme that's sure to be recycled but when all of you are all together, you're sure to paint the town red!Chicago in the 1920’s. Al Capone and Dion O’Banion battled for gang supremacy, John Dillinger was in jail, plotting his return to crime as a bank robber and bootlegging was the best way to make some cash during the hard times of the depression. A lot may have changed since then, but the image of tough, Tommy gun wielding gangsters, still evokes a sort of romanticism about crime that your local law enforcement agencies probably don’t appreciate too much.

Each of them had a specialization! Machine Gun Kelly made a name for himself as a bank robber, who received his first Tommy Gun from his wife Kathryn Thorpe (aww, true love). John Dillinger went so far as to rob police stations, redefining what it truly means to “fight the law”. Of course, Al Capone thought much bigger. The term Mob Boss is practically synonymous with Al Capone, since he used his wits to gain control of the criminal underworld. Peaky Blinders-style costumes have gained popularity, thanks to the hit TV series set in this era. These outfits typically include newsboy caps, woolen tweed suits, and long overcoats, reflecting the gritty yet stylish attire of the Birmingham gang members from the show.
