Do you want to dress up as a gangster this Halloween and look realistic? Here are some tips that can help you to choose the right gangster costume for you.
The History
Some knowledge of history never hurt anyone. Before you dress up as a gangster, you may want to get an idea of what they actually are, so you can play the part in a more realistic manner. Back at the height of the Prohibition in the 1920s and 1930s, gangsters led a movement of organized crime and selling of goods that were considered illegal in those times. The syndicates were established in some of the major cities of the United States, including Chicago and New York. In those times, gangsters were some of the best dressed people in society. Some of the most popular gangsters include Bugsy Malone and Al Capone.
The Gangster Outfit
The pinstripe suit screams classic gangster. Pick a double-breasted pinstripe suit that is either dark gray or black with stripes that are white or light gray. The suit should be fitted and suited to your body. For men, pinstripe pants will work; for women, it is better to get a tight pinstripe pencil skirt instead. Under the suit, wear a button-down dress. Choose one made of either cotton or silk, in either purple or black. Next, wear a matching tie with a similar fabric. For the shoes, black wingtips made of leather are ideal for men, while black pumps are best for women. Finally, complete the gangster costume with a felt fedora hat, in either classic black or white. Make sure it matches the rest of your gangster costume.
The Hair and Make-up
A classic gangster looks polished and clean. For the hair, slick your hair back and make it shiny. Use either pomade or gel to fix it and give it a real gangster look. For women, they can also wear it away from their faces. Another option is to leave their mane down, but make sure there are small, sexy waves in it. Keep your make-up simple by wearing minimal. A little dark eyeliner for your eyes and some bright red lipstick will do.
The Gangster Costume Accessories
Accessories can make or break your gangster costume. Put a white silk handkerchief in your suit’s breast pocket. Also carry around with you a gold chain pocket watch. For women, be flashy with large diamond jewelry. You can also wear some silk or fishnet stockings for that gangster moll look. Men should also wear a holster on their shoulder, while women are better off with a garter on their leg. Here you can put your fake pistol. You may also opt to carry a Tommy gun instead, or bring both. Since gangsters sold illegal alcohol in those times, you can complete your look by bringing with you a flask or alcohol bottle.
The Attitude
Being a gangster involves living a life that is full of excitement and danger. When wearing a gangster costume, make sure that you also bring with you the right attitude. Wear a proud stance and always keep your chin up while walking, to let people know not to mess with you. Another good idea is to come as a group of gangsters, and keep together, to appear like real Mafia.
For people who live on the edge and want to dress dangerously, the gangster costume is definitely for you!
