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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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