His and Hers Gangster Style
Many 1920s Couples in the Roaring Twenties were always deliciously dressed - including mobsters.
For the Gangster Gentleman, nothing says you're "Dizzy for a Dame" than his and hers matching outfits. Here are some ideas.
His: Wool hats, spats, and a snazzy suit make every wise guy look elegant and dangerous.
Hers: A gorgeous, sequined dress in the flapper style, a cloche, cigarette holder, pearls and a gorgeous handbag.

WIN this great multi-title DVD, which includes four of the best gangster movies that were ever made. Host your own 1930s mobster movie marathon!
About: There are four vintage films included on this DVD.
The Public Enemy (1931) - A taut, realistic time capsule of the Prohibition Era, showcasing James Cagney's powerhouse breakthrough as a streetwise tough guy who rises high in the bootleg racket.
The Roaring Twenties (1939) - Screen legends Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino star in this soulful study of a gangster whose hard-boiled persona finds itself at war with his compassionate side - a side that will ultimately be his downfall.
Little Caesar (1930) - Loosely based on the life of real-life Prohibition-era mobster, the infamous Al Capone. Edward G. Robinson rocketed to stardom as a pugnacious hoodlum who murderously rises to the top ranks of the underworld.
Smart Money (1931) - In their only screen teaming, Little Caesar's Edward G. Robinson leads the way and The Public Enemy's James Cagney rides shotgun in this brisk tale of barbers who go from cutting hair to cutting in on the gambling racket. (Source: Amazon product description)
