Dress me PLease
 

Going to a theme party where its the 40's and I dont really know what to wear. Any suggestions? Im supposed to be a nightclub owner....

Humphrey Bogart style...

how about dressing up like your avatar...

except the yellow face....

oh wait, thats the 70s...

try wearing a grey flannel suit with a fedora... that should do the trick, I can see it now

Dress in camo, ala WWII.

Gotta get a zoot suit with a reet pleat.
Long watch chain and a well creased fedora.
Red with black pinstripes or Black with red pinstripes.
Alligator shoes and silk socks.

Whatever you do, make sure you have an awesome hat.

Go to a vintage clothing shop- (look it up) and ask them, they will help you.

Even check out thrift stores- I've found awesome outfits for dirt cheap on many occasions

All good suggestions, but for the guys a double-breasted suit with a chalk stripe (wide pinstripes) always works for 40s. Yeah, that's Bogart all right. Don't forget the hat.
