Gatsby Glamour:
Dress Code Inspiration for the Evening
For this year’s dress code at the Market People Awards, gentlemen might want to consider wearing tailored tuxedos with bow ties, in classic black or white, while ladies might enjoy dazzling elegant, knee-length flapper dresses adorned with beads, fringe, and sequins, paired with long gloves, headbands, and pearls.
The 1920s, often called the Roaring Twenties, were a time of exuberance, modernity, and cultural transformation. The atmosphere was lively, with jazz music, flapper culture, and a general spirit of rebellion against pre-war norms. It was an era of prosperity and change, with people embracing bold fashion, social freedom, and technological advancements. The style reflected the decade’s vibrant and celebratory mood, with a focus on glamour and sophistication. It’s your chance to relive the spectacle of that era for a few hours.
This dress code is purely in place to give you some ideas. Do not feel constrained. In the London Market we like to dress up, so whatever you wear, it’ll be a fun and colourful night.
