Gangster pants 1920s

The 1920s gangster trousers are black men's trousers with wide, straight legs and wide cuffs at the bottom, in the style of the roaring twenties. There are buttons at the waist to attach suspenders, and two pleats run from the waistband at the front. Men wear these trousers during carnival, a mafia party, or a 1920s party.

Why are 1920s trousers so wide?

In the 1920s, men's trousers sat high on the waist and flared out widely towards the bottom, with a turned-up hem that added weight to the drape of the fabric. Suspenders were more common than a belt, as the waistband sat above the hips. It is precisely that silhouette that makes the look of the underworld figures from that period so recognizable, and that line is reflected in these trousers.

How to complete the mafia look with these trousers

You will only receive the trousers, so you have to put together the rest of the outfit yourself. With a white shirt or a striped shirt, black suspenders, and a fedora, the foundation is already set. A necktie or bow tie, black slip-on shoes, and a fake cigar complete the image of a 1920s gangster. If you want to go as a duo, a women's outfit with a fringed dress and long necklace complements it well.
