THE GLAD RAGS



The Glad Rags (circa 20s): Informal best clothes or clothes used on special occasions

We *HIGHLY* encourage that you come attired as a spirit of underground's past... whether it be your own vintage underground alter-ego, or another person entirely! 

We suggest, when collecting and compiling an outfit, that any historic accuracy be secondary to instinct or “what feels right”. Let authenticity, in this case, be about one's intent :)

Take inspiration from any of the following:

  • Wild west Outlaws / Sherriffs,
  • Saloon keepers
  • Courtesans
  • Can-can girls
  • Flappers
  • Minors
  • Jazz Singers / Musicians
  • Steelworkers
  • Wise Guys
  • Governesses
  • Sailors
  • Newsies
  • Bookies / Gamblers
  • Chamber Maids
  • Chimney Sweeps
  • Chorus Girls
  • Bootleggers
  • Hollywood Starlets
  • Boat Captains
  • Soldiers
  • Pin-Ups
  • Tradesmen
  • Greasers
  • Burlesque stripteasers (of course)
.... or anyone else you might find drinking booze out of a teacup in a back room somewhere!
