This Side of Paradise Bag, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Loved this lady with her This Side of Paradise bag. It’s just from Barnes & Noble, but so apropos for the Jazz Age Lawn Party. She also wears a vintage dress, cloche hat and elaborate false beaded eyelashes.

Four Guys in Gray Suits, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Vests have been a popular sartorial choice for men not just at this 1920s-themed party but on the streets of New York. Look for more of them when the weather gets cooler this fall.

Street Chic: Men in White, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Pale suits were all the rage on men at this weekend’s Jazz Age Lawn Party. Crooner Gregory Moore, who would later perform with a troupe of Dreamland follies, even wore a white cape for the occasion. And of course, there’s one accessory you can’t do without at this garden party: a picnic basket.

Street Chic: Black Vintage Jacket and Sequin Shorts, Jazz Age Lawn Party
At this weekend’s Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island, there was a surprising crossover between 1920s looks and goth in several of the guests. Both aesthetics are related to Steampunk and involve a lot of attention to detail, vintage, and a love of costuming. The mashup was pretty brilliant on this young woman, who wore a black vintage jacket with her black sequin shorts and black hat, nicely contrasting with cherry-red lipstick. Very cool personal style.

Polo Street Chic: House Photographer in All White
Here’s another Gatsby-esque look for you: the house photographer of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in a white dress and brown oxfords. Also love the boater hat as a substitute for the ubiquitous straw fedora. Expect 1920s chic to reign this summer as we near the release of The Great Gatsby.

Purple Beaded Dress, Jazz Age Lawn Party
A vintage beaded dress looks great with ropes of pearls and a headband. The lipstick is spot on, too.

Gray Bowler Hat and Suspenders, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Some of the best outfits at the Jazz Age Lawn Party mixed new and old – like a bowler hat, suspenders, high waisted trousers and a plain V-neck tee.

On the Dance Floor, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Big band jazz by the Dreamland Orchestra might have been old fashioned, but it was certainly danceable. The vintage fashion came alive on the dance floor. More photos after the jump. (more…)

1920s Menswear, Jazz Age Lawn Party
Many of the men at the Jazz Age Lawn Party wore knickers and argyle knee socks, a look that would have been considered positively relaxed and sporty in the 1920s. But men have it slightly easier than women when it comes to recreating ’20s fashion: vests, ties and newsboy caps like these are still being made today.

1920s Hair and Makeup, Jazz Age Lawn Party
There were lots of great looks at this weekend’s Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor’s Island, but the best were ones that really took you back in time. Her hair and makeup – plus the fab vintage jewelry – looks like something out of a 1920s soda shop ad. If this were a melodrama from the era, she would be the beautiful hat check girl.

White Dress, Union Square
Loving the all-white look for summer 2011. The spectator shoes add a nice 1920s touch to this dress, and the artfully braided updo is perfect for hot weather.

Porkpie Hat, 14th Street
Before we segue into the sometimes zany world of NY Fashion Week guys, here’s what downtown guys are wearing. The porkpie hat and double breasted coat conjure up the “Boardwalk Empire” era of 1920s toughs and the show’s star Michael Pitt, a huge style influencer right now.
