Couples 20s Costumes: The Flapper and the Gentleman
The classic pairing is a sparkling flapper dress next to a sharp three-piece suit. Our flapper outfit comes in many two-tone combinations, from champagne and black to royal blue and black, and the gold flapper outfit brings black gold sequins. Pair either with the Great Gatsby men's costume suit, which comes in colors such as navy blue, burgundy, gray, champagne and silver.
Add a fedora for him and a headband for her, and the look is finished. If the suit feels like too much, our men's 1920s gangster vest costume set gives a lighter outfit in red, blue, black, brown, beige and gold.
Not every couple wants sequins. A pinstripe pairing tells a Prohibition story: pair our 20s gangster pinstripe costume with our gangster girlfriend costume, a pinstripe shirt and skirt set in navy blue or black. The gangster wife costume in dark brown pinstripe suits couples who prefer warmer tones, and the women's gangster costume in white pinstripe makes a striking contrast next to a black suit.
Mixing styles works too: one partner in a flapper outfit and the other in a gangster look is the most recognizable 1920s couple at any party.
Halloween Gangster Costumes for Couples
Halloween calls for quick, readable costumes. Our gangster costume set with a hat, bow tie and suspenders turns a white shirt and dark trousers into a 1920s look in minutes, and the 1920s gangster accessories set with armbands comes in brown, black, blue, beige, gray and burgundy for easy color matching.
Finish the men's side with a gangster fedora in mustard, camel, navy, beige, olive or black, and a pair of gangster spats in slate gray. For more ideas, browse our Halloween costumes from the 20s.
1920s Couple Outfits: Coordinating Colors
Matching every piece rarely looks good; matching one color does. Pick a shared accent, such as burgundy, and let it appear in her dress or headband and in his vest, tie or pocket square. For a Gatsby party, black with gold-tone accents reads instantly as 1920s, while navy with silver-tone details feels cooler and more modern.
Pinstripe couples can match the stripe color rather than the whole outfit. Keep shoes in the same family too: two-tone or black for him, strapped heels for her.
Great Gatsby Couple Outfits for Parties and Weddings
For a Gatsby party, aim for evening glamour: sequins, a three-piece suit or tuxedo, long gloves and polished shoes. For a speakeasy night, pinstripes, fedoras and suspenders fit better. For a 1920s wedding or anniversary, choose wearable pieces in softer colors such as champagne, beige and light gray.

Great Gatsby Couples Costume FAQ
Are the couples costumes sold as one set?
No. Each piece is sold separately, so both partners choose their own size and color. Pair a women's outfit with a men's costume from this page.
What should he wear to a Gatsby party as half of a couple?
A three-piece suit or tuxedo with a bow tie, suspenders and a fedora is the classic choice. A vest with a hat and bow tie works for a more casual party.
What is an easy last-minute 1920s couples costume?
A flapper outfit with a headband for one partner and a gangster accessories set with a white shirt and dark trousers for the other.
How do we pick sizes for two costumes?
Each partner should measure and use the size chart on each product page, as men's and women's pieces are sized differently.
Can same-sex couples wear these costumes?
Absolutely. Mix any two looks you like: two flappers, two gangsters, or a pinstripe suit next to a sequin dress.
