How Accurate Were the Costumes in The Great Gatsby?

The Great Gatsby is a classic American tale set in the roaring 20s. The film starring Leonardo di Caprio featured some genuinely great costumes, but how accurate were they? Thanks to this video from Glamour, we can see how well they achieved the classic silhouettes of the 1920s as well as the color palettes and textures. The 1920s were a time of radically changing fashion that was a major break from the pre-World War I fashions. The 1920s also saw the introduction of “sportswear” for both men and women and kept up the idea that people should be able to dress themselves. Zippers and buttons were placed for easy wearing, and ready-to-wear became the standard way to purchase clothing. Let’s see how well the movie represented these trends in this video.
