All The Buys You Need To Get For The Upcoming 1920s Gatsby Party

by KENG YANG SHUEN  /   May 18, 2017

If I had to pick a favourite decade for fashion, the 1920s would be my choice – it was the first time women got rid of the corset and became more liberal in their dressing – waistlines were relaxed and hemlines rose to the knee for the first time in history. Not to mention all the decadent accessories and exciting art movements such as art deco and surrealism.

Come next Friday 26th May, you can live out your Daisy Buchanan fantasies at the “Party Like Gatsby” soiree taking place at Tanjong Beach Club. This Party Like Gatsby soiree has already been travelling around the world in countries such as United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, Norway and more. Supposedly organised by a mysterious man dubbing himself Jay Gatsby, get more information on the party here.

Below, our picks to help you stand out at this bash – because everyone loves a themed party, right?

All The Buys You Need To Get For The Upcoming 1920s Gatsby Party
#1: Leather pumps, Gucci
image

Heels were much lower in the 1920s as compared to today and they often featured T-straps, so this Gucci pair is probably the closest you can get to approximating the style without resorting to vintage.

#2: Faux pearl necklace, USD$328, Kenneth Jay Lane, www.net-a-porter.com
image

The multi-strand design means your look will come across as more lighthearted and takes the seriousness out of real pearls. Hey, didn’t you watch The Great Gatsby? Those people knew how to party.

#3: Knotted silk and wool-blend turban, USD$874, Gucci, www.net-a-porter.com
image

Here’s how to wear the top colour of the season – keep it concentrated to just one key accessory, such as this show-stealing Gucci turban.

#4: Fringed stretch-knit camisole, USD$1,644, Tom Ford, www.net-a-porter.com
image

Fringes are practically a pre-requisite of the 1920s flapper style and this luxurious version by Tom Ford allows you to get in on the action without being overwhelming.

#5: Tie-front pleated lamé midi skirt, $1,740, Christopher Kane, www.matchesfashion.com
image

Another staple of the 1920s? Midi-length pleated skirts, which means this Christopher Kane number is right on spot.

#6: Gold-plated pearl earrings, USD$262, Cornelia Webb, www.net-a-porter.com
image

The modern way to do pearls? This cool architectural earpiece by Scandinavian designer Cornelia Webb might change your mind if you’re not into pearls.

#7: Mesh-chain drop earrings, $885, Balenciaga, www.matchesfashion.com
image

If pearls aren’t your thing, these shoulder-dusters from Balenciaga will surely ace the ’20s theme with its Art Deco-esque design.

#8: Celeste chainmail shoulder bag, $4,535, Jimmy Choo, www.matchesfashion.com
image

This Jimmy Choo number hits it out of the ballpark with its vintage design, complete with the requisite fringe. It may be expensive but think of it as an investment piece – you’ll be able to use it for almost any party.

#9: Embellished crepe dress, USD$1,802, Ashish, www.net-a-porter.com
image

Ashish’s slip dress checks off all the right ticks for a 1920s dress – the waist isn’t defined, it stops right at the knee and is richly embroidered.

#10: Cat-eye acetate sunglasses, $350, Gucci
image

Channel your inner Dita von Teese in these sultry cat-eye sunnies.
