About Gangster

In the late '20s and '30s when Prohibition was in full swing, organized crime and peddling all sorts of illegal goods gave birth to gangsters like Al Capone, Bugsy Malone, and others. Major cities across the country like NYC and Chicago were home to some of these premiere gangsters who headed up their own organized crime syndicates. The television show "The Untouchables" touched on this era with Elliot Ness as the gritty Detective determined to bring down mobster Frank Nitty and others.

Dressing up as a Gangster

Look suave and sophisticated as a force to be reckoned with in a classic '30s gangster costume. Each comes with a long, pinstriped jacket and matching pants. Wear a set of gangster suspenders with it, some spats, and a black shirt with a white tie for an upscale criminal look!

Ladies can dress in a gender-bending suit with the gangster moll costume, topped off with a fedora that you could embellish with your own rhinestones across the band. Sexy gangster costumes with short skirts and plunging necklines are also available. These hot costumes can be offset with even hotter footwear, with sexy gangster boots in black and white with a high heel, styled to look like a feminine version of spats and button-up boots and shoes as worn by the major dons of the day!
