The roaring twenties are back - and they’re louder, glitzier, and more wearable than ever. From champagne-drenched soirées to winter weddings, The Great Gatsby fashion trend has made a glittering return to our wardrobes, combining vintage decadence with modern elegance.
The Return of 1920s Glamour
If you’ve noticed a surge of sequins, fringed hems, and art-deco embellishments across your feed, you’re not imagining it. Designers and high-street brands alike have reimagined the 1920s fashion trend for today - think Gatsby-inspired dresses, dramatic sleeves, feather trims, and shimmering satins. This season, it’s all about celebration dressing - with a twist of nostalgia.
On Hirestreet, Great Gatsby dresses and sequin evening gowns are among the most-rented styles of autumn/winter 2025 - proof that old-school glamour never really goes out of style.
What Defines Great Gatsby Style? At the heart of the Gatsby look is opulence. The 1920s woman dressed for drama - beaded flapper dresses, drop-waist silhouettes, silk gloves, and chandelier earrings. But 2025’s version of the trend is softer and sleeker. Renters are opting for fluid metallic fabrics, crystal embellishments, and statement backless gowns that feel equal parts vintage and modern.
To make it wearable for now, balance the glitz with contemporary styling:
-
Pair a sequin midi dress with strappy heels and a slick bun.
-
Style a fringed slip dress with a tailored blazer for modern contrast.
-
Add long gloves or a pearl-embellished hairband for true Gatsby flair.
