The alley is dark, it doesn't look like much back there. A cat, or what you hope is a cat, skitters away from you as you step, tentatively, away from the sidewalk and into the gloom. There's one light above a door at the end of the alley and you hurry toward it, your heels clicking on the paving stones. You knock two hard knocks and three light on the door, just like you were told to do. A handsome man in a fedora answers and as he opens the door you hear it and smell it all at once. The trumpeting of the brass band, the smoke, the laughter, the magic of the speakeasy is floating up from the staircase, just for you. Wouldn't it be great to be a part of the golden era that was the 20's? Those ladies sure knew how to dress. They had thrown off their corsets for the ever fabulous sheath dresses that we still love today. The style back then was all about texture: beading, fringe, and feathers. All that fringe was really something once you were shimmying to jazz music out on the dance floor. Imagine that, after ladies had been wearing corsets in sealed up drawing rooms less than ten years earlier. Flappers were making up for lost time. These ladies knew how to razzle dazzle. Bring the magic of the speakeasies back to life in this royal purple flapper dress. When you put on this fabulous ensemble you'll be ready for all that jazz. Sure, this flapper's looking great in purple but tonight she's going to paint the town red.

These days we tend to think of spats as a relic of a fancier time, when people wore elegant things like top hats and waistcoats and cufflinks not because they needed them, but often just because they looked classy. Like most things nostalgic, though, we’re probably painting a little too rosy of a picture. A stylish cover for your shoes seems like the height of showy fashion today, but in reality spats were largely intended to protect one’s shoes from the grime of day to day living. It’s no coincidence that spats fell out of style around about the same time paved streets started becoming the standard in cities.But whatever their original function, slipping on a pair of spats today gives you an instant old-fashioned charm. Match them up with a stylish pair of wingtips or saddle shoes and you’re halfway to being a Prohibition era gangster or a Great Gatsby style socialite. These felt spats fit over your shoes with an elastic strap and feature a classy line of metal studs up the side. They’re a perfect way to class up any old-timey outfit, or just to keep your shoes clean when you’re walking those dirty, dusty streets..
Well, well, well, aren't you the cat's meow? Now, don't take any wooden nickels!Don't you wish we still talked like those flappers of the twenties? They had a strange kind of accent, half British, half American. People used to train themselves to talk that way to seem distinguished and it was perfectly socially acceptable. Well, try that these days and people might think you've lost it. Unless you're wearing a 1920s dress, if you go all in it just might seem copacetic.Ah, the twenties. They sure didn't end well but people certainly had a great time while they could. It was an era of dual personalities. In the US alcohol was banned and yet it's an era known for its parties. Perhaps that's because with or without the hooch people were still discovering their freedoms. Women got to show their ankles without a big to-do. They could drive cars, ride bicycles, and most importantly they could finally vote. With the absence of corsets and long hems, women's clothing began to evolve. Playing with textures, draping, and different silhouettes: they were free to experiment. The dress is straight-cut as was the mode of the day. While the top is overlaid with black lace, the bottom is rich dark red velvet with heavy draping on one side for that asymmetrical look.Let's say you need the perfect gown and hat to wear to that fancy party outside of New York held by that mysterious millionaire. Any modern 20's gal would have loved this ensemble. So, now that you've found the dress, it's time to work on the accent, whether or not people get that you're trying to bring back the accent you'll definitely feel your swagger factor rise.
Every decade has its memorable style. Some are fantastic and leave us wishing to bring those eras back. Others… not so much. The bright rainbow legwarmers of the ‘80s might be a thing we can let go.

You’ve heard a number of times that we need to live in the now… live for the future… let go of the past… and many other idioms that speak of the ages of yesteryear being long behind us and holding us back from becoming who we might potentially be. The thing is… following that advice doesn’t seem to be making a clear and positive change in the present world, either! How are we to know that all this “present-living” is really having any impact at all if nothing seems to be changing!?That’s why it’s crucial to ignore every one of those mantras and, instead, dive right back into the past where things made a heck of a lot more sense and the fashion ensured that we’d plant ourselves firmly into memory and last well into the future. That’s the real path to immortality, no doubt! People want to say, “Disco is dead!” but, if that were the truth, people wouldn’t need to keep trying to convince everyone of it, now would they!? Would they!? Ha!You can be the last lady laughing, too, and prove that disco is not only the lessons of the past but also remains as the style of the future with this Women’s Disco Sensation Dress. Made of comfortable polyester—what else for the 70s!—this dress has a sweetheart top and is perfectly form fitting. The outrageous pattern of color on the outside of the dress is psychedelic and made even better with the glinting of silver sequins. Finish off the look with the matching headband and you’ll be transported right back into the grooviest of decades and ready to boogie oogie oogie all night.

You need to wear the kind of footwear that lets everyone know that you deserve unmatched respect and acclaim.

Fad BodGosh, the 80s were good to us...just look at this costume! You can't make this stuff up. The 80s were a hotbed of hot colors and wild patterns, geometric shapes and neon glory. But back then, we thought we looked cool. Right? So that begs the question: In 20-30 years, what we will think about the style trends we're rocking right now? Can "leggings as pants" survive the test of time? Will the whole cut-out shoulder look be memorialized in a costume someday? And what about jumpsuits? How will they hold up as the years tick on?Well, we don't have our crystal ball technology sorted yet (but we're getting close! Check in around the new year), so we'll focus on what we know: the 80s. If you, too, loved the style of this epic era and you want to relive the days of pumping sweet iron at the gym while you wiped the sweat from your even sweeter 'stache then hey, this Men's Work It Out 80s Costume is, like, totally for you, dude!Design & DetailsOur design team really did a totally tubular job with this one! It's a complete look (but you'll have to grow your own mustache).

But that's not all, hotshot. We're also supplying you with a neon green headband and pink wrist warmers to keep you cool after your toughest sets. Schweet SweatSo, go on, champ—work it out! You look amazing in a way only the 80s can accomplish. How do you feel? Sick? Tight? Illin'? We think this costume is totally happenin'. But duh, we made it! Don't take our word for it; head out on Halloween and see how wicked your night turns out to be!
ALL DIVA DUDES, REPORT TO THE DANCE FLOORWith all the dance crazes happening these days, keeping up is difficult. As soon as you start getting the hang of one dance, a new one goes viral. Mastering the art of 'the floss' posed more of a challenge than learning a foreign language and don't get us started on the trials and tribulations that came along with attempting Drake's "In My Feelings" challenge.

We've always been wondering, why do poodle skirts always have poodles on them? We get that it's because of the name but why did they decide on a poodle originally? Later on these famed 50s fashion phenomena actually had other things besides poodles including flamingos, flowers, and even hot rod cars! We wonder if they put a leash on those too. Either way the statement of the period was a simple skirt that anybody could make at home then match with a cute sweater and, of course, a scarf! No, they probably didn't keep you very warm but, daddy-O, will you look fantastic! This white scarf has a cute little poodle embroidered in one of the corners. The black and white will go with any color poodle skirt and then all you'll need is a nice matching cardigan or sweater before you head off to the next sock hop.

Every generation has its fashion trends, and it’s easy to forget that an outfit that looks like the very picture of conservative dress today might once have been the controversial hot potato of its day. Take, for example, the crinoline, the petticoat that goes under a skirt and makes it blossom out into a bell shape. Nowadays they look charmingly old-fashioned, but back when it debuted in the 1800s a lot of people hated the crinoline. There were popular songs and poems mocking the fashion for everything from impracticality to flammability to just plain being annoying. Just remember that the next time you’re tempted to mock a flashy new style trend.You won’t be mocked by 19th Century fashion critics in this black, nylon-poly blend crinoline - on the contrary, you’re more likely to get compliments on your old-timey style. It works wonderfully under any knee-length skirt, from poodle skirts to party dresses to square-dance outfits. The ruffled, multi-layered petticoat shapes your skirt smoothly and allows a full range of motion on the dance floor or in casual hang-out situations. It may be an old-fashioned look, but it’s one that’s stood the test of time, no matter what the naysayers might say.

Fashion is a tough industry to get one’s thumb on. It changes with the winds and we’ll never know what trends are going to make the decade famous. The vote is looking pretty unlikely for tin foil hats but not much better for floral-patterned Crocs or shoulder padded velour tracksuits.While it is true that some of our most notorious of fashion trends have vanished to time, others stay in our minds like fond dreams. The team is still voting on the fashion trend that comes in second place—it is between rainbow leg warmers, bell-bottoms, or the bedazzled ‘mom sweater’ featuring a unicorn wearing rainbow leg warmers—but first place has easily come from the inspired Roaring ‘20s. The style and energy of their flappers leaves little competition, especially when faced with the ‘Shimmy Queen,’ Gilda Gray.That’s why we offer you a truly transformation opportunity with the Vibrant Fuchsia Flapper Dress. Make it about all that jazz as you channel your inner Sugar ‘Kane’ Kowalczyk and Roxie Hart and flap your way to fame. The perfect combination of brilliant fuchsia and silver, the dress and included accessories are sure to be noticed and the sequins and fringe will make you truly shake and sparkle. With a sleeveless pullover tank dress provides mobility and the feathered and sequined headband will make you the queen of dance. Relive this gorgeous fashion trend and jazz it up with a few perfect accessories like a feathered boa and some beads, and just wait for your well-deserved applause.

Kids these days probably don't even know what a sock hop is all about. In fact, if you asked your little one, their eyes would probably glaze over; maybe they'd even look at you like you had five heads? They could also give you a solid answer like: a sock hop is when you put on your favorite pair of socks and hop up and down the block. Like we said, valid answer but that's definitely not the best description of a sock hop. When your toddler finds out what a sock hop actually is, we have a feeling that she'll want to attend because what kid wouldn't want to go to their school gym, toss their shoes to the side, then dance the night away to popular music?However, sock hops are no longer a thing. Sure, there are still school dances that are held but they don't hold the same sentiment. When your youngster finds out about this misfortunate news, they'll be a little disappointed but their chagrin won't last long because you guys can hold a sock hop in the comfort of your own home. Move the dining room table, rearrange the furniture, and let your living room mimic a school gymnasium!Once the heavy lifting is done, present your little one with this sock hop cutie costume, complete with poodle skirt and attached polka dot shirt, and let the twisting, turning, and jiving begin. Put on your old records or her favorite jams and you've just created your very own sock hop. Now, you just need a poodle skirt. Luckily, we sell ones in your size too!
