Gangster Costumes

Old time gangster costumes are reminiscent of the classic black and white crimes movies from the 1930s starring Jimmy Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. They were smooth criminals in zoot suits and fedora hats who carried Tommy guns and didn't take gruff from anyone, except maybe a sexy dame. These guys were tough, suave and cool at the same time. You'll know the same feelings as soon as you step into one of our costumes from this great genre.

Even though the movies portrayed these gangsters as ruthless criminals who did sinister deeds the audiences couldn't (and still can't) get enough. Plus there was something very romantic and dangerous about it; the film noir, the big city, murder, corruption and the forbidden nightclubs during prohibition - it all kept viewers on the edge of their seats. Some things never change.

Everyone recognizes the gangster costume. It is a true classic and one of our best selling categories year after year. Because of this, we update the line annually so there are always new offerings. Gangster Costumes fall into their own category on our website but you can also find Gangster costumes for women in the Flapper costume category, and vice versa. Gangster costumes are available for men and women. There are a variety of pinstripe gangster suits for men as well as sexy versions for women featuring short, fitted dresses and skirts. If you are looking for a gangster costume for couples we usually pair a men's gangster costume with a women's flapper costume.

When you purchase a gangster costume or any gangster Halloween costumes for that matter, never underestimate the importance of accessories. Wingtip shoes and the fedora hat are must have accessories for the gangster costume. You will find a wide variety for men and women on our site. Start by looking at the featured accessories we pair with each costume and if you need more ideas you can visit our Hats, Wigs and Masks section and our Accessories & Makeup section.

In addition to gangster costumes we have gangster guns, ties, wigs and jewelry to make your costume top notch.
