The First Thing a (Film) Gangster Buys? Dapper New Clothes!

Have you noticed that in gangster movies, one of the first things a newly minted "hood" does is go out and buy a snappy new wardrobe?

Many criminals started with nothing, so their ill-gotten gains provided their first chance to dress in style; this is especially true for films taking place before the 1970s, when clothes were much more expensive.

Fancy attire also communicated wealth, influence, and power, all of which a gangster needed to stay alive and prove to others that he had truly "made it."

Gangsters also didn't shy away from bolder patterns, brighter colors, and louder combinations to show everyone who owned the room.

And finally, wearable wealth especially jewelry, could help a gangster pay his way if he found himself in trouble or unexpectedly "on the lam."

Find more inspiration from the seedy side of style by watching our video on the Top 10 Stylish Gangster Movies!

The sartorial taste and style of these characters is one of, if not the main reason why I love gangster films so much.

When you get arrested, the police take you in and take your mugshot. That mugshot is then shown in your court case. Dressing well puts a professional image in the minds of the jurors. That’s a big reason monsters always wore suits. Their cover was being legitimate businessmen.

It still is expensive nowadays, you’re lucky to find anything these days without polyester. and if you do good luck spending double the price. Price and quality don’t go hand to hand

And one of the main reasons they wear suits is to show they're professionals.

Favourite gangster film of mine has to be Carlito's Way. Unfortunately, not many stylish characters.

well, Prada did craft fashion goods for Italian nobility. Needless to say, fashion still has that high-end vibe today.

I thought it had a lot to do with Italian influence on organized crime because they like to dress better

This is more or less the same as modern gangsters wearing the loudest athleisure they can find. Exact same concept, just less stylish.
