Despite looking glamourous and hard to put together, a 20’s costume is actually one of the easiest ideas out there! I’m all about the last minute costume ideas and cheap ideas, so this is one of my favourites. So, if you want to be a 20’s flapper for Halloween, follow these easy steps:

If you have long hair, slick it back and put it into a low bun at the nape of your neck. You can accessorize with sparkly bobby pins or a vintage clip at the base of the bun. If your hair is short, use some gel and make finger waves. A glittery headband or feather is a good finishing touch.

Wear a slim fitting, sleeveless dress that falls around the knee. You can opt for a flapper costume outfit with fringe, or a plain coloured dress from the thrift store. You can either wear bare legs, or plain coloured stockings.

Shoes should fit with the era, either patent Mary Jane’s or other high heels with buckles.

For makeup, use light coloured foundation and powder for a pale look, and finish off with red lipstick. Accessories should be antique jewelry, especially a long, pearl necklace that hangs at least mid chest.
