A few years ago, a style that was at its peak in the twenties of the last century became popular. Expressive and stylish looks were made famous by the movie "The Great Gatsby", which was set in the 1920s. A bright and solemn atmosphere, exquisite images, bright decorations - all this is returning to fashion again.

The male style is not inferior in expressiveness to the female one. When creating images of that time, they used bright colors and styles that attract attention. strictness and elegance... Gatsby's style for a man began with a business suit.

It is worth noting that the haircut played an important role in drawing up a stylish image of Gatsby. Women and men wore short hair. The longest hair was left on the crown. A short length was maintained at the back and sides. The strands were combed back and fixed with a gel. Sometimes the hair was pulled down to the forehead. With the help of bangs, it was possible to diversify the image.

• the basis is a three-piece suit (vest, tuxedo and trousers);
• additional accessories (jewelry, hats, etc.);
• classically oxford shoes (such shoes are ideal for drawing up an image of a bygone era);
• to diversify the appearance, they often used natural flowers (for example, roses), they were attached to the lapel of a suit.

Lightweight materials were also held in high esteem. This is about cotton and flax... Clothes made from such fabrics were used in the hot season.

The expressiveness and brightness of men's suits were not inferior to those of women. Representatives of the stronger sex wore clothes of rich and sometimes even defiant colors. As an accent in the image, they often used bright ties... Also attracted attention shining shoes.

Men could wear hairpins to draw attention to their hairstyles. Wealthy gentlemen could afford to buy hairpins made of gold, adorned with precious stones (rubies, sapphires, diamonds and other options).
