How do I get the look of Gatsby

  The image of Jay Gatsby dressed in a tuxedo, classic cut champagne in hand, watching the festivities sweet around him, it is the most famous male fashion moment in the new film adaptation of the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

However, for typical avant-garde, it can be difficult to understand that chic tops and more frivolity of the 1920s was just for jackets, known high-waisted pants, tweed jackets and two-tone shoes.

This may be more like the wardrobe of your average citizen important that everyone with an authentic style. But after I sound The Great Gatsby, you are probably wondering what hidden treasures you can raid the closet great-great-grandfather.

Of course, remaking Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann took some artistic freedom with fashion. For example, pants, loose leg high waist will be replaced by a version of the skinny leg. But it just goes to show that patterns that emerged from this seminal period in men's fashion are simply reinvented so that modern men can have a look of the 1920s-esque simply adding some elements of choice for what is already available in their wardrobe.

"The great thing about men's fashion in the 1920s is that most species are fairly classic, so you can truly enjoy the costume with some great accessories," says Nicole Jenkins, owner of Circa Vintage Clothing in Melbourne CBD.

Add a bow tie or tie a silk dress, or a combination of wingtip brogues with braces, maybe even a eight parts Gatsby Flat Cap fedora or classic, Jenkins says, anyone can give man what a true classic in 1920 without making it look as if he over the top is to look away.

Murray Crane, owner of Sydney contemporary menswear shop Crane brothers, agrees. He said contemporising bold look of the 1920s, is best done with subtlety. "I think it's just about the right balance, with elements of it and do not overdo it."

For a more subtle look, many people may choose to discuss the ostentatious Gatsby (which at one point in the film is a pink suit with a stripe of white pine) in addition to the protagonist and narrator Nick Carraway look, this is the most beautiful in a series of tweed jackets and vests rafters dressed.

For Crane, a tweed jacket is a quality item men should seriously consider.

"Tweed has become very fashionable again, and usually there is a genuine revised some of these traditional English cloth mills Dugdale, Fox Brothers and Holland & Sherry, which are the fabric of traditional tweed," says target, Crane, who also owns the Men's Clothing Stores in Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand.

"We have customers come and buy fabric factories that were in the 1920s, and in fact, a large number of mills we deal with those who provide services wardrobe for many films."

While men can go to stores like brothers swuch Crane, choose their own fabric and have a tailored tweed jacket, a much cheaper option is to check the second hand market.

"You can easily get tweed jackets, because it is one of those things where supply exceeds demand, so you can at op shops and markets well received," says Jenkins.

"Tweed is a solid, clothing such as hangman, but it still has a lot of glamor. Things are beautiful, and they. The biggest problem with vintage long jackets is that they have short sleeves, tend, because they made for shorter people. "

Of course, no real attempt would not be complete without a look of 1920 a pair of wingtip brogues. And for the more adventurous type, speak no more than the period of the two-color variety of shoes - with black and cream, mahogany and white, mahogany and white or beige and burgundy are some of the most popular color combinations.

Crane says the recovery in many traditional english tissue was accompanied by traditional English manufacturers of shoes.

"John Lobb, Cheaney, Church, Crockett and Jones shoes produce all beautifully handcrafted with the finest leather," says Crane.

In fact, Crane asks if the height of the popularity of some of the male modes 1920s and schedule remake is purely coincidental.

"Maybe the directors and producers are waiting until the atmosphere is good to make a movie like The Great Gatsby, because they believe that people understand., It is certainly interesting that the cyclical nature of fashion."
